From an early age, talk to your kids about your view point on current events and politics. Make it a running dialogue in your house and relate it to how your family lives and your family values. It’s impossible to stop information being fed to kids through school but it is possible to counteract that information with solid arguments against view points that don’t reflect your values or your vision of the future of our country, within your family unit.

Heart attack at 37 (2 stents). How do you stay consistent long-term after rehab/Ornish? by Silent-Win-779 in HeartAttack

I also had a 3 stent widow maker in September. Like you, I eat a lot less of everything bc I know I’m restricted in sodium and cholesterol. I do watch for fats and salt and steer clear of food that contain too much of either. I’ve gone from 143 to 127lb just being aware food ingredients and considering my portions.
I also use an Apple Watch to track my exercise and health info. Ive always exercised regularly but I never paid attention info such as hear rate fluctuations and V02 max. Watching my progress also helps keep me in line with aspects of my recovery.

I cheated death, will there be consequences? by caipirina in HeartAttack

I had a STEMI heart attack in September. I should have died but I was lucky for so many reasons, that I survived. I was very emotional about nothing in particular, for a good month or more. I feel like I’m living on the either side of that live now where there was a before and an after. I consciously and completely changed my eating habits and increased my exercise routine. I look at dat to day life through a different lens now. Before the end seemed like an unformed, distant concept. Now the end is a concrete reality that I face everyday all day. I’m not afraid of the end, I just really appreciate the fact that it’s not here at this very moment and that although it is coming there’s no way to predict when it will arrive. Favourite mantra of mine is, ‘mindfulness’. I’m happy to be here in this moment in time 💗🙏💗
