I have high cholesterol, and borderline high blood pressure, so I really have to be careful and eat better and exercise more. I take medication for the cholesterol, but as my doctor said, its not a magic pill, I have to make steps in the right direction to get it to a normal range. I love Pom products!

Great post. I took up running after my father died from a heart attack (and learned CPR as well). Now I've changed from an office career to personal training because of the desire to help people either avoid a heart attack or recover and minimize risks after having one.

Great post Tom. My husband had the flu two years ago that just wouldn't go away. I finally convinced him to go to the doctor to get it checked out and turned out he had an infected heart valve and needed a total valve replacement! Talk about scary!! But knock on wood, two years later he is doing well. If we could only speed up his knee replacement we'd be in good shape! Have a good weekend! Bizs last blog post..Reuben Soup!

I think its also vitamin D month. Am hearing about POM all over the blogosphere so now I'm super interested in trying it! The info on the heart disease is really awful but its so good to spread awareness about the issue. We all need to work to prevent it.

Tom, Thanks for your comments about the support group. I am getting some good info from you and really beginning to appreciate your comments very much. I didn't know February was Heart Health month. I knew it was Black History month and Cat Dental Health Month etc. But I guess this is one more to add to the list for Feb. My bf has elevated BP and higher than he needs cholesterol. It runs in his family. PODs last blog post..Oh Ye, of Little Faith

My dad had his first heart attack at 40, and died at 53 after his fourth. So I take this stuff way more seriously than most people do. I'm in my forties and want to have a LOT more years. 53 is way too young to go. Crabby McSlackers last blog post..Guest post at Workout Mommy: part II
