I'm not following a special diet, just a mix of Chinese, Mediterranean, and Western. I have been avoiding or minimizing sugar and salt for years, so nothing has changed. Alcohol consumption has been sporadic and minimal for years, but I don't abstain. The occasional glass of cider or wine several times a month probably is not going to kill me, but it will make life a little more enjoyable. In the end, something is going to kill me, and it might as well be an occasional pleasant beverage. Better than getting hit by a bus. No sense in dying before I'm dead!😀

I have adopted a lot of the diet suggested in “Prevent & Reverse Heart Disease” by Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D. While it is definitely aimed at individuals prone to clogged arteries, my philosophy is why not keep all other aspects of heart health as good as possible while we fight amyloidosis. This diet and either swimming or brisk walking have helped me to keep a positive attitude. That and praying for all of us daily!🙏🏻I also eat a lot of grapes (the skins contain resveratrol which might have beneficial effects).

I think everyone is trying their best! I am grateful for each new day and have been an advocate for health and fitness. I eat very healthy, but portion control could be better. I do enjoy Red Wine because I call it the blood of Christ! My son makes his own and I do indulge on a rare occasion.
After all the wok I put into my health, learning about amyloidosis has been an obstacle for me. I have been going to a Cardiologist since I was 40 for the sole purpose of beating the odds but now, I am right in it!
I do train with resistance (weights) and I make an effort to focus on cardiovascular health as my purpose.
Hope everyone is making progress in beating their Amyloidosis.

We eat lots of wild caught seafood each week Medit. Diet, Italian, French, Greek, etc. zero alcohol low sodium wherever possible.

Great Mitch! Walking over a mile is the solution as far as I am concerned.
