Hi,

New here. One thing not to lose sight of is heredity. Genetics play a large

part and our goal is to take care of what we are born with in the best

manner possible.

Seems to me what is being said is Jim Fixx did in fact live longer than

expected.

Hi Don:

Yes. But what, imo, we learned from Jim Fixx, is that even if you

train for years for running marathons, it isn't going to do much to

prevent your arteries from becoming clogged if other factors are

causing them to clog up.

Welcome to the group!

It's true that that was suggested by one person, but I don't think it counts as

evidence. Heredity plays a role, but who inherits a predisposition to die

before the age of 40? Can I see some evidence that he really had such a

predisposition?

Besides, all this is beside the point, which is, had Jim Fixx adopted a CRON

diet instead of becoming " Fixx " ated on running, he might be alive today.

Hi All, "Fixx died at the age of 52 of a massive heart attack, after his daily run, on Route 15 in Hardwick, Vermont. The autopsy revealed that cholesterol had blocked one coronary artery 95%, a second 85%, and a third 50%. Many who opposed his beliefs said this was proof running was harmful. However, Fixx came from a family where the men had poor health histories. His father suffered a heart attack at the age of 35 and died of one at 42." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Fixx Cheers, Alchris <ucla_mishka@...> wrote: Welcome to the group!It's true that that was suggested by one person, but I don't think it counts as evidence.
