matter of the heart

About my heart attack will need another post which I will try after gaining some more blogging experience. Expressing emotions will take a little more practice.
Everyday I read interesting stuff about taking care of the heart. Some of this I can swear by and other things are based on published reports and I have not the perseverance/tenacity to make a habit.
1. Include a cup of green leafy vegetables in your diet everyday.This helps if you are dieting and even otherwise
2. Red wine on regular basis reduces inflammation the main cause of heart trouble
3. Weights are more important than endurance/cardio.....never miss the weights session. Regular exercise is a must
4.10% reduction in weight can make a significant difference to health
5. Medicines can be reduced, cannot be done away with for life, Since everyone of them has side effects including causing diabetes in the medium term, remember it is a trade off and hopefully the right one. Taking tablets is essential but do not get paranoid  if you miss a dose once in 3 months
6.It is a rich mans disease and can leave you very poor. Planning finance for regular check ups, medicines, surgery/surgeries is a must. I missed a insurance premium payment by 7 days and the whole thing went kaput. Make sure you have continuous valid insurance for many many years
7. I found meditation, relaxing music/sleep music helps a lot
8.Relax and enjoy life, I am not perfect however I am willing to forgive my mistakes and enjoy my imperfections
9. I do not have a gig to write a list of 10... I could remember 8 things while watching Indian Idol and thumping away and hope this makes some sense to you
