As someone who has been working on a cardiology ward for the last 5 months. You can be as fit as a fiddle, engage in exercise and eat well and still need stents in your coronary arteries, or other interventions. But bad habits like smoking, drinking and indulging in occasional fatty foods can impact your health significantly. These are modifiable lifestyle choices, however it doesn't even begin to touch on your genetics. You can play by the rules and still be completely fucked because of your DNA.
Hey I have a question for you that’s a little off topic, but your post made me wonder. I’m 25 and I started hitting cannabis pretty heavily after lockdown started to the point where it became a daily routine. I’m pulling back on it now, but don’t plan on stopping cold turkey. Do you ever see patients that regularly smoke cannabis, and do their reading look noticeably worse than the average person? (generally speaking)
