My mission

It takes a life changing moment to make your realise that perhaps we aren't fuelling our bodies effectively.My husband suffered a Heart Attack on 13th December 2014, luckily I have somehow remembered indicators to watch for and managed to get my husband into A&E within 25 minutes of noticing. Luckily it was 5am, roads were clear of traffic and still sticking to the speed limits, I managed to get him to hospital faster than an ambulance could have.The good news, he was seen quickly, the ECG showed that he was in the middle of a heart attack, they rushed into action, recalled the specialist team and stents were fitted within 30 minutes of him arriving at the hospital. He has been good and one day later is on a mobile monitor plus the consultant is pleased with his progress. He has started eating, is rattling with the number of pills he's on and is only allowed red meat once a week, this is going to need some careful planning for a guy who loves his red meat, lamb, beef, pork and goat. 

Despite always cooking healthily, very low salt and low fat, and free range/organic there are going to be some more changes, lots of chicken, fish, whole grains and .......... whispers quietly 'vegetarian' options 
I feel a new blog coming on about our healthy heart journey sharing the recipes, it will benefit the entire family and hopefully others who may have concerns and want to keep the "clogging of those arteries" at bay.
Thank you for all the amazing support and kind wishes that we have received, it's been heart warming and has brought smiles and tears too, which has been good for the soul, helping my husband recover, and our daughter and me to have the strength to stay positive. Xxxxxxxxx
