Living Well
Inspirational stories of overcoming heart disease are everywhere. Sadly, only a few of them are told publicly. However when such stories do reach the news, they remind us of the reality of living with, fighting, and beating heart disease.
Todd Starnes, a news radio anchor and reporter, writes about his life-threatening heart disease experience on the Fox News Web site. He discusses the factors that contributed to his condition (family history of heart disease, obesity, poor nutrition) openly. Starnes also speaks frankly of his treatment (invasive surgery) and his road to recovery.
That road will include running the New York City Marathon. After his surgery, Starnes overhauled his lifestyle to better manage his health. Read the full story about Todd's heart disease recovery online.
