Heart Healthy

Every 6 months, I meet with my Cardiologist for a "checkup" so to speak to make sure that my heart is continuing to function appropriately for a male of my age...  the best approach that I can take to make sure that happens is to:

• get some sunlight
• eat healthy
• manage stress
• exercise
• maintain the proper weight

According to WEBMD, if my weight is between 189 to 219 for a height of 6 feet 1 inch, I am OVERWEIGHT...  

Currently, my weight is 219 and if it were 220, I would be obese...

The only way to lose weight is to eat less calories...  right now, I am eating between 1,500 to 2,000 calories each day, and I should eat between 1,200 to 1,800 calories focusing on 1,500 or less especially since I am not as active as I should be.

I am meeting with my Cardiologist today so I will be in a better position to see where I am once that visit takes place.
