[A Quiet Boom]

Well I'll say this, my cholesterol level is great as well as my resting pulse and blood pressure even though I'm a heavy smoker with a high stress job and difficult hobby (machining). My secret? All of the above! I eat at least 3 fatty fish meals a week, lots of fresh garlic, love spinach salads, olive oil is the only oil I cook with and use it in place of butter on bread, whole grain bread and pastas, lot's of fresh fruits including blueberries. I also lift weights and get plenty of cardio. At my last physical my doctor was SHOCKED to learn that I was a smoker.

I attribute some of the blood pressure and pulse to having panic disorder and my ability to mediate and do breathing exercises when I start to feel tense. I also get full body massages on a regular basis which helps reduce stress and force toxins out of the tissue. You forgot one thing though, drink lots of water, I drink about a gallon or more per day.

Lube I like to roast whole garlic drizzled with olive oil and wrapped in tin foil, make it just right and it's nice and sweet. Sleep alone? nah the wife eats as much garlic as I do.
