Much has been made about cholesterol over the years. It went from an unknown quantity to a household word that carried with it the weight of heart disease and heart attacks. Who of has not seen a TV commercial with little pieces of plaque sticking together in an...

A perfectly healthy person who smokes can expect to pay, best case, twice as much as a person who doesn’t smoke for life insurance. I’ve been on that soap box often enough that I don’t know that I need to beat it to death anymore. With that being...

I have no idea, but if someone has had a heart attack I know that one thing that won’t hurt their feelings is finding affordable life insurance rates. While I may not have a clue about broken hearts, I can shed some light on what life insurance underwriters look...

I’ve mentioned before that there is a problem in the life insurance business. Pure and simple, it’s greed. Agents are so protective of a potential sale that they will actually tell a customer they are uninsurable, rather than admit they are the wrong agent for the...

Over the years I believe I have heard most, if not all, of the whining responses from people who, after an exam and a review of their medical records, didn’t get the best rate available on life insurance. Don’t get me wrong. I want those rates also. But...

I’ve often discussed the fact that out of the nearly 2000 companies that purport to be in the life insurance business, there are only a handful, maybe 2% that are serious about working to get you the best deal. When you throw in health issues of any consequence...

I’ve written posts on the subject of the “revolutionary” ultra fast CT scan, the snap shot of the heart that would finally put an end to invasive diagnosis methods such as cathaterization. In those posts you may remember that the problem was that the...

I admit that I am something of a whiner when it comes to cold and snow. I am often asked, if that’s true, why I live in Colorado? The answer lies mostly outside the winter months. Snow has been building up, or at least not going away since late November. A few...

So, you’ve been told you have hypertension, high blood pressure in layman’s terms. Your doctor said that you need to take medication and change a few lifestyle items, primarily eating right and getting more exercise. If you are like the majority of high...

There are times when I wonder how any one in this world can live without have some degree of anxiety. I know I was just a kid back, but I don’t remember the 50’s and 60’s, or for that matter the 70’s being overly stressful. Then came the...

No. I’m not suggesting that a pre game aspirin will ward off a post game hangover. I’m afraid that those prone to toast every down and play will have to deal with the consequences post game. There may be good reason to do some pre-game heart attack...

There are essentially three treatment methods for blocked arteries of the type that can lead to a heart attack. The original and still widely used vessel bypass surgery, angioplasty with a stent inserted in the vessel, and for minor blockage, medication to reduce the...

I have gone on before about how your doctors lack of attempt to educate patients on their health conditions such as diabetes and heart disease has led to poor treatment compliance and often has led to complications or collateral health issues that could have been...

In a post yesterday we talked about stress related heart issues in women. Heart attacks just simply are not that rare in women and more should be done to be proactive about it. Lifestyle changes and regular checkups should be at the top of the list. I ran across a...

In my passion to ensure that the world understands the risks of cancer, obesity and diabetes, I have often referred to heart disease, coronary artery disease, as a collateral health issue. What I have neglected to do is give the number one killer of men and women the...
