Axel Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Went last week for a 2-night's trip to SIN. Planned to, and did, join the wedding -reception of a staff member. Lovely party until another staff member collapsed and passed away. I did stay 2 nights longer, what a sad story to attend a funeral of a guy, who's mail I read this morning, still looking for my replies. Now, why I put this here? The late fellow, 6' something or 1.80 m tall, strong and healthy looking had a history of heart attack (1 before) He did eat in the past meat, only, washing it down with drinks. Changed, but perhaps too late. Now, as a layman I can only say, stick to a reasonable diet. I do feel sorry for bride and groom, having somebody die on your happy day?? I am angry with the SIN rescue service, arrived within 20 minutes, although the hospital is just 3 min away. I do feel sorry for the guy who died, 37 years of age! (Cannot happen to me anymore.) Now, what is your recommendation on food. This guy's: Meat, meat and no vegies, but, positive?, wash it down with a drink. Don't tell me to eat vegetarian onl, or not to drink. Give some ideas to people who like to enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluecat Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Very recently a good friend of mine passed away. He was a very sportive guy, playing football, tennis, running,... He decided to go for bicycling and on the the first "difficulty", he just fell dead. He was 44 years old, leaves a quite young widow and a 15 years old son,... What did he do? He did not eat that much, he did not drink that much but for as long as I knew him, he smokes heavily. Is it the reason? I do not know but anyway, better safe than sorry,...

Give some ideas to people who like to enjoy. That is a very sad occurence to have to witness. I was once sent an e-mail from a friend that advised in the event of you or anyone you are with suffering a suspected heart attack, that you cough for all your worth. Seemingly the action of coughing can re-star your heart!! I have never tested the theory but my heart specialist at Bumrungrad seemed to think it made sence when I relayed the story to him. Somehow it just does notsound that plausible to me but I know if I am ever in that situation, that if physically capable, I'll be coughing as fast as I can. Having said that, I am a belever in regular check-ups for your heart capability na dhvae suffered some scares before which have been out down to stress after having ECG's and also a full heart functionality test wired up to the computer whilst on a treadmill. For me my diet is pretty crap, consisting of irregular meals and smoking so I try and eat more fish and chicken, than red meat wherever possible but I know my vegtable intake is not great. I am 35. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p1p Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 "Eat, drink & be merry, for tomorrow we die." The sage neglected sex, drugs, (tobacco), & rock & roll but, what the h e l l, Enjoy life while you can. Better 60 years of fun than 80+ of boredom.

Axel Posted March 14, 2004 Author Share Posted March 14, 2004 The cigarettes are the worst thing in my humble opinion. Think, I do believe you. OTH, last year I changed hospital and made a check up in another big one, down on Soi Soonvichai (ok no names). Filled in all the forms and marked: 'never smoked in my life'. Made all kinds of machine-tests, got a free lunch. I met finally a doctor in the afternoon, who read the results to me, sounded like a machine himself. Told him, I want to find out why I feel easily tired. Immediate reply, 'you smoke too much'...'Aeeeh, (after checking my recored, never smoked) I think you drink too much.'

p1p Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Let's hear your comments when you are 59 years old,... Not too far away from there now. Good innings so far but would not worry particularly if I knew I was to be bowled out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted April 6, 2004 Author Share Posted April 6, 2004 There is a diiference in between boredom and moderation,...Let's hear your comments when you are 59 years old,... Not far away and I admit, 'Nowadays it does take me all night, to do what I used to do all night'. BTW, the SIN - story never ends, the groom quit his job with us, the other stuff is nervous (all the girls) with the empty desk-space where their colleague was sitting. Solution: Move the bl... office. Actually wanted to do it in August,, when the lease expired, do it now in May but got 3 months' free rent in the new place after explained the situation. Singapore is a high tech - country but still there are the rules of feng shui and superstation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
