As everyone tried to out exercise their diet.) Of course when I over-do and don't allow adequate healing time I have issues. But....<br /> My non-progressive cardiologist told me it was age related & genes. Started my research and reversed all of my symptoms.<br />Came to differentiate the inflammatory process (good) in exercise vs diet poisoning inflammation and subsequent endothelium damage.<br />Once I modified diet and my blood markers returned to normal as well as B/P. Heart issues resolved and I have output I had 20 years earlier.<br /> How ? Thanks to a progressive cardiologist like Dr. Shenkman, I am now NO OIL vegan diet. (via Dr. Marc Katz with research by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn)<br />To quote:<br />"Regular strenuous exercise protects against heart attacks but produces oxidative stress and inflammation as well. How could this be helpful? The reason is that inflammation caused by exercise is different from inflammation associated with disease states. Physical activity lowers the risk of a heart attack by increasing anti-inflammatory molecules(Kasapis and Th ompson 2005)."...<br />Easy to moderate aerobic exercise: lowering 1. of systolic blood pressure, improved lipids, improved body composition (e.g.,<br />less fat, more muscle). Example: walking, easy jogging,<br />easy bicycling, hiking, easy rowing, stair stepper, elliptical<br />machine, etc.<br />2. Moderate to vigorous exercise: lowering of systolic and<br />diastolic blood pressure, improved lipids, improved body<br />composition, improved blood sugar control, increased<br />cardio respiratory fitness, reductions of risk for all causes<br />of mortality (cancer, stroke, heart attack, etc.). Example:<br />hiking uphill, running, cross-country skiing, cycling,<br />rowing, and swimming.<br />-- Stephen Parsell "Dare To Live"<br /><br />More references to heart remodeling studies.<br />http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/122/12/1221.full#ref-38<br /><br />http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9526880?dopt=Abstract<br />Reference to improved bone mass from impact sports:<br />http://www.thesportjournal.org/article/training-improve-bone-density-adults-review-and-recommendations<br /><br />Other:<br /> <br />http://www.heartattackproof.com/resolving_cade.htm<br />--------------------------------<br />Thank you Doctor Shenkman for pioneering diet as well as athletics.

(My husband:) Although a cyclist and fit from years of consistent gym workouts and then several rounds of P90X, he had never done a triathlon before. (He did not even own a pair of running sneakers.) Then, as we were entering 2011, wanting to model a "you can do anything you put your mind to" ethic, and feeling compelled to mark the 10 year anniversary of 9/11 in a personally significant way, he signed up for the Panama City FL Ironman, which would take place on 11/5/11. Very long story short, he did it... ironically, in the same time you completed yours (14:45:46). He has remained constant in his decision to savor that experience as "once and done", vowing never to train for or participate in another full Ironman. However... he had a busy race schedule this year, doing sprints and Olympic distances, and amongst other races he is scheduled to compete in 2012, he has gifted himself (with my full support of course) with a registration for the Kona half Ironman in June. At the end of August, he experienced an arrhythmia that was diagnosed as atrial fibrilation. Needless to say, this was upsetting to us both. Reading your blog, in addition to the discussions we had with his cardiologist, helps me to understand the connection (endurance athlete -> heart "issues"), and I'm somewhat comforted by the idea that it is typically benign. It still makes me a bit anxious, even though I see that, you, a cardiologist, is still continuing to train and race. I believe so deeply in balance, and always pray that he is achieving that. Thanks for sharing your story and allowing me to do the same. Your expertise is also greatly appreciated. I truly hope you achieve all your goals. I absolutely what it takes to get there!
