A man discovered a 70% blockage in his coronary artery on a calcium scan. He started walking daily despite ankle pain and saw his blood work improve dramatically. He credits the habit with adding years to his life.
for a calcium scan and got the blockage and that nasty widowmaker, 70-some-odd percent, and really thought to myself, I'm not ready to check out at a young age. So, knock on wood, I've been able to adjust lifestyle with walking, and walking has literally saved my life. It's definitely added years to my life. My blood work results are amazing. I've talked a little bit about the ankle pain and issues, and I had to push through in the early stages of walking.
