Affairs and Coronary Disease

News of medical breakthroughs are announced every day. It astounds me how simple things like making procedures more efficient or improved screening for disorders qualifies as a “medical breakthrough”. I suppose that when journalist attach the term ‘medical breakthrough’ to a story, it gets greater traction and attention.

Another observation on medical breakthroughs is that fascination with pills, cures and procedures requiring no effort. This tells me that many people want maximum health with minimum effort on their part.

What if I told you that one simple life change can reduce the risk of coronary disease by 50%? (Keep in mind that even the best statin medication numbers ONLY reduce coronary issues by 28%. So we are dealing with something that reduces risk with DOUBLE the impact of most statins without all those side effects.)

Would news like that get your attention? The reality is that the reduction in coronary disease with this simple change is greater than 50%.

A longitudinal study lasting over 25 years studied the records of 275 physicians. In analyzing the results, the researchers found that one type of behavioral trait in men made the six times more likely to experience coronary disease. That’s more than double, triple or quadruple. Think about the impact of six times.

What was this trait? That trait was hostility (anger). When anger makes you six times more likely to experience disease, it makes sense that doing the opposite will reduce your risk.

If instead of ‘blowing up’, getting angry or downright hostile, a man did the opposite, imagine the benefit. What is the opposite of anger and hostility?

A natural initial response to an affair is anger. Your spouse broke your heart, I understand that. That anger strains your heart and your emotions. Imagine one doing thing that improves your relationship and reduces the risk of disease.

Would you be willing to consider doing that one thing?

The answer is forgiveness.

Forgiveness not only brings healing to your relationship, it brings healing to your life. It reduces the risk of many diseases, yet, it requires action on your part. There is no forgiveness pill or procedure that changes your brain. It requires action from you.

The video, “Forgiveness: Stop the pain, Tear down the walls and Remove the Roadblocks” guides you through how to forgive. If the video were an hour long procedure, you would want your physician to perform it as soon as possible.

Since forgiveness is something that requires you to make changes, it’s you who decides when you are ready for a change.

Best Regards,
