The most common cause of heart attacks... Bad genes... If you have a family history of heart disease get yourself checked out as regularly as possible. If you don’t then you needn’t worry too much about what your lifestyle is like... Remember Jim Fixx???
All the running in the world didn’t stop him from succumbing to a heart attack while running at the age of 52.
I still recommend Jim Fixx’s The Complete Book of Running. Some of it is outdated, but still a lot worth reading.
“The most common cause of heart attacks... Bad genes”
Amen. My father and I lived completely different lifestyles. He smoked, drank, etc. I did not, I exercised my whole life, ate Atkins diet for years. He died of heart attack at 58, I had massive heart attack at 59. I only survived because several things went exactly right.
Yep, back in the day I was a dedicated 5 times a week jogger of 3 miles. Read Fixx book and he had it down to a physiological science. Then whoops!
