Know your numbers. Especially your LDL and glucose. If your LDL is borderline or high you can bet your circulatory system is collecting arterial plaque through out. Make sure your glucose is in check because once you get diabetes I or II it just screws with everything else in your body making diseases so much more easier to get.

I know people that aren't even close to having high LDL that are considered "at risk" because their HDL levels are simply too low. |

The main protein embedded in LDL-C and VLDL is apolipoprotein B which is a stronger predictor of atherogenicity than LDL-C alone, but it is not yet a common test. LDL-C+ VLDL is called your non-HDL-C, and is a good estimate of atherogenecity. Lipoprotein A is also risk-enhancer, but not to the extent of apoB. The general principle to follow is that lower is better for LDL-C, and every 1% reduction in your LDL gives an approximately 1% risk reduction for an ASCVD event, although the risk reduction lowers off as LDL-C decreases. The newest lipid guidelines recommend using coronary artery calcium scores as supplemental info for the necessity of statin therapy, but that's still pretty cutting edge.

I have had 23 friends, all relatively young and in good health, die due to being murdered by pitbulls. Tragedy can strike any time

Just wanna say really sorry for your loss, and this happens more than we think.. That's many, many friends as President would say. I bet they were fine people too. Pit bulls always target the good ones.

Thank you. The pitbulls left behind notes saying they chose their victims specifically because they were kind, caring, and did a lot of charity work

Sorry you lost so many friends. I know how tough it is. My older brother passed away last month at 32 years old from a pulmonary embolism. He was a little overweight. Didn’t smoke or drink. He was reffing a basketball game in warrensburg when he collapsed, he died shortly after they got him to the hospital.
He loved reffing more than anything, and his passing has made me stop and appreciate the little things I love more. And to love the people I love a little bit harder. Also to be sure to let them know how much they mean. God bless and enjoy your day.

TBH I'm afraid I will outlive my retirement. My great grandpa lived to 98. My dad just passed away at 89 but I know damn well he willed himself to death cause my mom died.
Of course I drink and smoke cigars but I'm pretty damn healthy for almost 60. Proud to say that I've never been on prescription drugs. I also never worry about things I can't control. I never watch the news and never discuss politics. My dad obsessed with that shit.

If they were in great shape it was probably just genetics.
You can't outrun family history.

Unfortunately, between my siblings and I, it looks like I inherited the bad genes. I'll be 63 soon, exercise regularly, but have been under a cardiologist's care for the last 12 years. Most of my health issues are stress related but I keep an eye on everything else, HDL, LDL, etc. |
