One of my close friends from highschool (we graduated back in 2001) died from this back in june of 06, no warning at all. When his girl friend woke up in the morning noticing he wasnt in bed next to her she went to the bahroom were she found him laying on the bathroom floor cold. Very sad.

Dr. Mercola has written a great book called "Sweet Deception" that explains the dangers of artificial sweeteners. The incidence of younger poeple experiencing heart problems has ALOT to do with the consumption of trans fats and other processed foods which cause accelerated cell degeneration, especially around vital organs like the heart, pancreas, liver and kidneys. Accordign to many experts, a person whose diet is based on quick fast, processed meals can expect to be biologically 10-15 years older than their actual age. Mark Baldwin |

Had a very masculine and physically fit friend left on the same condition in the bath room. From what i have gathered, he ate lots of fried food, fast food, soda, MSG and stuff. His departure was a shock to many because he just didn't look the kind of ppl(he is very fit, an avid basketball player) who would be afflicted by the disease.

Scary stuff. I've been concerned about this for a while. I have a healthy diet and wouldn't expect to have much artificial sweeteners in it. I have Udo's Choice Blend Oil so should be getting all my essential fats. When I do extensive exercise 1hr 30+ or shorter sessions with higher heart rate I sometimes get palpitations that same night or the following day. When I say sometimes I mean maybe once every 2-3 months but being quite fit it gets my attention. During intense exercise I sweat a lot so have been looking into replacing potassium salts after workouts but thanks for the post 'cause I’ll have a look at magnesium now as well. |

Over the last 3 weeks I have stepped up my training regime exercising mostly 5 days out of 7. My training sessions are mixed between weights, swimming and running with the latter usually being the most intense. I don’t drink alcohol which allows me to stay hydrated easier and I stick close to a vegan diet. I usually use low energy levels and sore muscles as an indicator that I need to slow down and have a rest, recently it’s been different. Last week I started to have short and random irregular heartbeats, a quick google suggested it might be arrhythmia. If it only happened once or twice I might have dismissed it but it’s being quite persistence. Without going into too much detail I found this article on the web Nutrition for Athletes It discusses how nutrition is often overlooked as a cause and solution for heart problems in the athlete. This article really hit home for me and I’ve immediately taken on board the supplement advice of Magnesium, Vitamin D and more healthy fats and oils. It’s a must read for any serious athlete in endurance sports and it has more links to other similar articles. Blog Entry: Nutrition and Heart problems for the Athlete at The Beginning |
