Do you hear the phone ringing? Hello?
What age is your heart? Be honest and ask yourself the following questions:
do you have high cholesterol?
what you eat can add 5-10 years to your heart’s age
do you have excess belly fat?
extra weight there adds 5-10 years

do you smoke?
smoking is one of the biggest risk factors and adds 20 years to your age
do you drink alcohol?
drinking a glass or two of red wine a day can be good, but more than that is a poison to your body and can add 10-20 years to your hearts age

are you happy? are you stressed?

Jeff, I know you’re laughing hysterically somewhere about all this–when you weren’t drinking, you were smoking–and when you weren’t smoking, you were drinking–or planning on it! The last time I saw you I think was when you advised me on which one of the Wild Planet flasks would be best for me!! I mean, my goodness, 3 bars in town are donating food and booze to your memorial!!
I guess I’ll keep wine in that flask instead of whiskey…try to laugh more, stress less
deep breath…
