Robi Tamargo never worried much about her heart.

Jim Fixx, the guy who popularized running, wrote the first book about it, and etc.died of a massive heart attack in his early-50's decades ago. "Congenital weakness" upon autopsy.
Why not blame that on Covid too, you idiot!!!

I thought the Jim Fixx autopsy showed his arteries were clogged up, due to cholesterol. That was when cholesterol because such a dietary concern, anyway.
I’ve had heart problems since I was 57. Life goes on until it doesn’t.
