Diseases of the Heart
Every day
thousands of us succumb.
Statistically, thirty-five percent of all deaths,
though it seems like so many more.
Self-diagnosed since high school,
since Donna really.
My diet doesn’t matter…
doesn’t alter the odds.
In January 2008 my doctor told me the truth: my numbers were going the wrong way. Blood sugar: over 100. Cholesterol: over 200. Weight: obese. He suggested medication. I refused. So he told me to start running, 30 minutes a day, at least 5 times a week. Like brushing my teeth. I did. I learned that I can do more for my own health than anyone else. This blog describes what I'm doing with my one life. It is dedicated to everyone who wants to change theirs for the better. Namasté.
