My Hubby Had A Heart Attack, Sunday
Comments (33)Bulldinkie, my prayers are going out for you and your husband. My husband had his first heart attack, that we knew of, in 1987 when he was 38. He was extremely athletic, got a lot of the right things for exercise, not overweight, never smoked, didn't drink, minimal fast food, low cholesteral, but blood pressure a little high and did everything they tell you to do to avoid heart attacks. He wound up having 5 by pass surgery but never really got back to normal. At that time we did start to follow a healthy heart diet. About 2004, he had another heart attack while we were laying the foundation for our house. Got him to the hospital and it lasted for three days. We never imagined a heart attack could last that long without killing you. The team of doctors from IU said there was nothing they could do for him and wouldn't put him on the transplant list, but his cardiologist at the VA wouldn't give up and did manage to get him on the heart transplant list. A year and a half later, he got his transplant. My DH changed his diet himself. He became a vegetarian while waiting for the transplant. We think it was the only way he made it while waiting. He cut out salt himself and now if anything has the salt in it, he can taste it and doesn't like it. He's eight years out from his transplant and everyone is surprised he made it past the first seven as a lot don't. He doesn't eat many sweets, his diet is extremely low in fat, but I do use olive oil occasionally and his salt intake is primarily what is natural in food, not what is added. He does eat salt on his eggs and potatoes, but a minimal amount. He's healthy and happy. His doctors think he's a miracle for many reasons. Don't give up and don't let him give up. You'll both benefit from the salt free diet and you'll not even miss it....See MorePenzey's order
Comments (1)Salt is the second ingredient, so may be rather high. Salt is often a filler in spice mixes as salt is cheap. Penzey does have a salt-free section on their site. Or just look at the ingredients and use the spices and make your own. I'm not a big fan of Penzey's. My MIL was sending us mixes for x-mas gifts and we just don't like the salt. I like to make my own. If salt is an issue, i bet the fats in sour cream and mayo might be a problem. Substitute greek non fat yogurt for all mayo and cream...so good and 'good for you'. From their site... "Horseradish Dip Blend with 2/3 Cup sour cream and 1/3 Cup mayonnaise. For spicy sandwich spread, thin with a bit of white, balsamic or red wine vinegar. Great on roast beef, turkey, ham or pastrami. Hand-mixed from: - ground horseradish, salt, dextrose, onion powder, lemon peel, dill weed, black pepper and chives."...See MoreDinner at the Dushanbe Teahouse and plans for Penzeys...
Comments (10)Lars, I was surprised too - but Gina is full of surprises! And I remember the entire day very well. Do open the linked pictures which are just a Google search but there are some astounding views of the Teahouse, it is really beautiful inside and out. There is an amazing story of how Boulder was gifted with this and how it was finally constructed here. It is the only traditional Persian Teahouse in the Western Hemisphere. Boulder and Dushanbe have been sister cities since 1982 and there are fund raising efforts every year. There have been a number of visits between the cities. This is from the home page of the organizations website "We sponsor cultural, educational, medical, and business exchanges between Dushanbe and Boulder. Building an environment of trust and cultural understanding - this is what citizen diplomacy is all about." Of course I would love to see you here. I don't know where your friends are in Utah but Salt Lake City is 500 miles from Boulder, an 8 hour drive or an 90 minute flight for as low as $88. round trip. Annie, I don't remember what we were smelling in the picture, but I do remember smelling all the varieties of cinnamon (before I decided on the Korintje) so it could be cinnamon. The tabletops at the teahouse are all different in the ornamental tile borders and all have chess boards in the centers. Tea and chess could occupy patrons for hours in Asia and the Middle East.
