I had a heart attack scare (I'm 40) a couple of weeks ago and have slowly reduced what meat I'm eating and I have to say that I am feeling better. Been on blood pressure medicine for the last two years and eating better has done far more to control it than the medicine ever has (201/110 when I went to the hospital, 144/78 when I went to the doctor last Thursday).
I'm also down to 290 from 302 two weeks ago.
EDIT: Still having a problem cutting down the sodium in my diet though. It seems like anything that is processed has tons of it.
