This picture says it all. Robert Palmer died last week of a heart attack. I have listened to his music all week, and have thought about what to say him. Robert Palmer To Have Swiss Burial

Cater said Palmer had no history of heart problems.

“Only two weeks ago he had a medical check-up which gave him a clean bill of health,” he told the BBC.

But as you can see he smoked. Smoking is the number one preventable risk factor for myocardial infarction. If you smoke, stop. The day you stop your risk of a heart attack decreases. Also the risk of dying from a heart attack decreases (the carbon monoxide levels decrease rapidly, making oxygen more available to the remaining heart muscle).

I hate to see people my age dying of preventable disease. We should make good health decisions. We only get one body, and we should pamper it!
