I am overweight, I sit too much, I eat too much

It's 4 days since my last publish on Steem. It's also 3 days since I'm in hospital.

This should be a post announcing that I will not make any more Beer Tasting posts. But it's really a warning to all fellow steemians, developers, engineers who are overweight and not doing any physical activity.

While ago when I was active on social networks and I had Facebook account I posted over 200 pictures of different beers. I think that was cool. Now I don't think that anymore.

It's 3 months since I started individual exercises with a trainer. I was on a good path going from 120kg to 116kg. Doesn't seam much for three months but I had my ups and downs. It was important that I don't give up.

4 nights ago around 3-4am I felt pressure in my chest and very high heart beating. As matter a fact I had this pressure over 10 days. But with lower intensity. Like somebody with a boot stands on my chest. But that night it was the most intensive. In a moment I thought I will suffocate. My hands were shaking like never before. I didn't want to alarm my family. I decided to wait for the morning with God's help. I was praying. Until 5am.

Before this incident I was coding, creating a website until 3am. Some personal small project I wanted to do for a long time but couldn't because my work for other people. So after I finish my work around 1am I started doing this site boyan.pro. I wanted to have a personal site for a long time. I found awesome Bootstrap 4 template. Fired a DigitalOcean droplet, set it up for nginx and started changing the template. I felt tired around 3am and decided that small fixes I do tomorrow. I went to bed and the agony started.

In the morning I went to doctors. He told me that I probably head a heart attack. I started loosing ground under my feet. Almost 36 years old with young family, two small kids and infarct?!? The doctor said that he will call ambulance to transport me to the hospital for further procedures. He said I shouldn't leave alone.

In the hospital a young doctor received me from the ambulance crew. He checked other doctor's ultrasound and ECG reports. Then he did ECG again. And told me "you had a heart attack" we should do coronary catheterization.

Basically when infarct occurs tissue which didn't get blood dies. The damage is permanent. And person with that condition is heart patient for life. I really didn't want that for my family. My baby boy is 11 months old. I wanted to go with him for hiking, camping. I want to learn him to hunt and do skiing.

Thanks to God, I didn't have infarct! It was false alarm. Doctors are not sure what happened. My blood vessels are clear and fine. I have high blood pressure. And there is no other explanation than my lifestyle.

Now while I'm writing this in the hospital I'm hearing old people griping in pain through the holeways. I'm thinking, I don't belong here! I'm the youngest guy here. What did I do to end up here?

Too much work, too much stress, wanting to do everything alone, then sitting too much, eating too much, drinking to much and eating too much sugar. Is that worth of hurting people who give you unconditional love and care?

I don't want to sound like a crazy wierdo who thinks that everything is a conspiracy theory. But think about it. Large extent of our lifestyle is impacted by the massculture surrounding us. Lots of stuff which makes us ill and stupid are aggressively advertised and injected in front of our noses into our lifes. Lots of stuff we do against us without thinking and mechanically. As a very young I didn't even like taste of beer. How I became from that to man which tried hundreds of beers from different part of the world? Massculture. People tend to do what is socially acceptable. And what is socially acceptable is affected by corporations trying to grow their sales and profits every quartal.

So, it's pure logic. How do you grow your sales if you are tobacco or alcohol or beer or sweetened drinks or pharmacy or food corporation? Add to that how conscienceless, greedy and wicked a businessman can be. For too long time through generations we let these guys to affect our lives!

To not get missunderstood. I don't blame anybody for my current position. It's solely my fault and responsibility for why I am here. God gave us free will. It's only your free will to go to a supermarket and buy processed food filled with sugars and palm oil.

My grandmother died at age 97. She didn't eat meet every Wednesday and Friday plus 2-3 months per year. She ate home grown and home made food. Since 2-3 years I've been reading and watching YT about off grid living, homesteading, growing food, breeding animals. Over a year ago I moved from a big city to the country side where I have a house and 10 acres of land. Started growing food and breeding animals.

Obviously it was too late. And this experience I'm having now is my final warning from God.

So, my fellow steemians. Please don't work late hours! Eat healthy! Don't eat sugars! Don't drink alcohol! Don't smoke! Make at least 10000 steps a day! Listen me if you love people around you and if you love yourself. Don't come into my shoes!

If you in any time feel a chest pain go to the ER immediately! You have 1-2 hours to be fixed until permanent damage occurs.
