Pool is good for your health. I got so many PM's for updates on my health that I thought I would put it out on a thread. After stopping smoking a few months ago I felt great. My heart, blood pressure, blood thinner, and inhalers were cut to one third of what they were. I went and bought a pool table about a month or so ago and play about five hours a day on it. Four months ago I couldn't walk the round trip across the street to the mailbox w/o running out of breath. Now I walk about a mile each morning and God knows how many around the pool table, house, yard and stores w/o a problem. I take zero medication now?that's right zero.
My heart Doctor says my irregular heartbeat has reversed it self and went back to regular rhythm. It has, but I don't buy that was my whole problem, as I've had the irregular rhythm for forty years that I know of. Anyway I'm going to give playing pool as a good percentage of my recovery. I know the stopping smoking was a big factor in this and that everyone can't expect total recovery. But I'm very thankful that I did. I know it wasn't 50+ years of clean living?that's for sure. I'm pushing 68?it's never too late to get healthy. Johnnyt
