Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
As I posted, MAY not be suitable. Eventually it can become pointless anyway, as in the 91 year old who had the operation and recovered successfully, only to die months after of old age.
You are clearly wrong, as proven in family after family. One can certainly shorten ones inherited lifespan by poor lifestyle choices, but lengthening it by a considerable extent is very rare.
Of course diet is included in healthy living! And mine with my Italian father's life in the food business example is as good as any for the long life Italians so often enjoy.
I'm not making those mistakes but meals often is out of the question at my age. As we age we need and eat less and less to avoid obesity, which for me means a minimal breakfast and one small main meal a day. The often element comes in with minor snack items such the odd piece of fruit or a few nuts etc.

You make far too many assumptions, my mood is excellent and my life happy and engaged as my humorous posts show and I'd be happy to live a capable life for longer. But I'm a rational person so have no desire to have a difficult and struggling extension to life, perhaps stuck in a care home.
As for the heart operation, the waiting list is years long and many die first. The time when one had an immediate operation like my mother in 1974 and my brother in 2011 are very long gone. I'm not even on a waiting list so have hardly any chance while Covid is around and the waiting lists of often younger people are not reducing.

I wonder how many of them are likely to stay in the Army once they realise how much more money they can earn as tanker drivers in civy street?
I bought a new textile motor cycle jacket from my local bike shop on Thursday and got chatting with the girl behind the counter. She told me that for every order they put through for motorcycle clothing to suppliers they were lucky if they got a quarter of what had been asked for.
I asked her why did she think that was the case, she said obviously Covid but the main reason she had been told by several of her suppliers was Brexit. Perhaps it's an easy thing to hide behind but she is not the first person actually in the real world of buisness on the front line as it were who reckons Brexit is having a massive harmful influence on getting stuff in to sell.
That would be far too tempting to risk (if you get my meaning)
Safer for me to go outside and give vent to my considerable (and colourful) ex Foundryman's philosophical quips.
I live as you know in Southern Ireland . We have had some odd shortages and some inexplicable sales prices . We still have numbers of UK shops around eg .. Halfords, Currys ,Tesco . I wanted a tyre for a bike, I was fixing up and the shop guy was extremely forth right ... Brexit, not Covid , Brexit... The inexplicable bit is that chocolate from premium brands .. eg Green and Blacks, a subsidiary of Cadburys has reduced in cost by nearly 30%.. and its not the knly such brand.
It certainly looks like you're doing the best you can, by eating little. What's your BMI, and what exercises can you do? It sounds like you're wisely being careful about exercise. In your condition, even very low elevation sit-ups may be unwise to undertake. RAW garlic (not cooked, not in pill form), is the best quackery I can offer:

Three finely chopped (with a knife) raw cloves a day, sprinkled over cold food, eaten within 10 minutes of chopping. But if you're on blood thinning medication go slow, starting with one RAW clove a day, otherwise you could feel lightheaded.
The other duck sourced pseudo-wisdom delivered sonically by beak, is eating spinach.
It doesn't matter if you're not "Capable" in old age, the important part is to live as long as possible, because this is all there is.

"Old age" in his case, may have meant that he died of multiple organ failure stemming from post-op inflammation around his heart valve, which a younger person might have recovered from. It's a gamble - go private? Seems like it could be the only way you can possibly get a heart valve replacement now?

Taking steps to lengthen ones life to any extent is worth trying, at least I think so.
I was walking around the Great Orme in Llandudno yesterday and I could see several miles out to sea an unusual looking ship. When the sun shone on it, it seemed to be gleaming white, I could not remember seeing a ship like that out there before. There are often many ships a few miles out from Llandudno I think they anchor there waiting their turn to go into the docks in Liverpool.
I went onto the Ship Radar 24 web site with my mobile phone and I couldn't seem to locate the ship. All the other ships I could see appeared to be on the web site but this one wasn't.
My eye sight is not that good and the ship was several miles off shore but the ship remined me of one of those huge pleasure craft multi millionaires and billionaires show off in. I couldn't see why one of them would be in this part of the world though, where its cold and windy at the moment.
Now you guys are a pretty smart bunch on here, later on I found out a little about the ship would anyone like to guess what ship it was.

Was it a Welsh iceberg washed down from Snowdonia by heavy rain?
Unfortunately not, the clue is this ship was not on that tracking web site, you need to think why wasn't it.
Yes royal navy not sure what it was because I couldn't really see it properly. Later on my walk I was chatting to an old fellow who had a sort of short telescope he had been watching it and he told me it was a navy ship and he could just make out a large gun on the front of it.
When I was fat, three raw chopped cloves of garlic enabled to continue my lardy lifestyle, without chest pains. At the time, the only medication I was having was Ibuprofen for plantar fasciitis, so I had the odd dizzy spell because of the combination. Now that I've lost weight (because of Covid concerns), if I decide to dice with death and a big juicy steak, cheese plate and a bottle of wine, I keep the raw garlic within arm's reach for a day or two afterwards. It really does do something, but your mileage and experience may vary. Can't do any harm, in my quack opinion, and it takes about two weeks consuming three raw chopped garlic cloves for the improvements of blood flow to/within/out of the heart to become apparent. Always consult your Doctor before making any lifestyle changes.
