Collateral circulation might just save your life.
Are any of you aware of collateral circulation? As we age, the natural age process causes arteries to become less flexible because of hardening of
the arteries, or arteriosclerosis. As these arteries become clogged, and oxygen becomes less available, the body starts building new circulation to
critical parts, such as the heart, and brain. The only way the body will start this building process is to have demands put on it daily. That is why
it is so critical to take part in a physically demanding activity daily. Walk for 30 minutes, do some outdoor physical labor, or go to Zumba for an
hour. Physical activity might just save your life. If one of the critical arteries to the brain becomes blocked by an emboli, or blood clot, the
collateral circulation may be able to take over and save your life. This collateral circulation is the answer in many cases as to why one person
might survive a massive stroke and recover quickly and others might succumb immediately.

You are absolutely correct, EnsenadaDr.
Since my Cardiac Ablasion, 6 weeks ago, I am now able to go on a 30 mile bicycle ride every weekend.
I used to poop oiut , after the surgery, at 10 a.m.
Now I can go all day, (and even have sixx twice a week!)
I do not drink in excess...I have about two shooters a week.
