And hope that creates a habit.<br /><br />I'm not speaking personally, but for my mother who has high blood pressure, and will no doubt die of a heart attack. She's grossly obese and doesn't do any exercise. The latter being the most important if she wants to reduce her chances of having a heart attack and living longer.<br /><br />Also it's interesting to note that in Australia ambulances don't have defibrillators. And this almost cost Rupert Murdoch the billionaire his life, after a heart attack. So what he did was buy a defibrillator for every ambulance in his state.<br /><br />In anycase, after a certain age a defibrillator seems like a must. It's not like your going to die of old age if you had previous heart problems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-82778615780937706472014-07-13T15:30:28.342-07:002014-07-13T15:30:28.342-07:00Cryingfreeman, that's pretty interesting!
Ano...Cryingfreeman, that's pretty interesting! <br />Anon, so increasing your chances of survival from 5% to 40% when it comes to surviving the #1 cause of death isnt worth $1000 to you?<br /> A thousand bucks can buy a lot of stuff and it is a lot of money, but in most cases its stuff that has practically 0% of being needed that it gets spent in. I get it that an AED isnt cool and you cant brag about it but its hard to argue against the facts of what its for and the chance of it being needed compared to pretty much most other preps.FerFALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07578136334334588454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-50966182172428361692014-07-08T11:23:23.602-07:002014-07-08T11:23:23.602-07:00Keep in mind an AED only works if your collapse is...Keep in mind an AED only works if your collapse is due to an arrhythmia.<br /><br />An AED is of no value if there's a blockage (the most common cause in older adults) or the heart has simply stopped beating.<br /><br />$1000+ can buy a lot of other survival supplies.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-89639760747809666132014-06-29T09:43:43.962-07:002014-06-29T09:43:43.962-07:00So if you are over weight, eat junk and get no exe...So if you are over weight, eat junk and get no exercise then definitely you must get one of these!<br /><br />If you want to get rid of the chance of getting heart disease then it goes to diet and exercise. I'm 61 and eat a vey restricted diet with whole food supplements. I ride a bike most everywhere. The only time I have ever been in a hospital was last year for a kidney infection, quite common here in So. Central Florida. My heart was fine and now so are my kidneys.TampaMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15149751088277081912noreply@blogger.com
