It Can Be Done!

Great news for Benson after a doctor's appointment this week! Last year he was diagnosed with significantly high cholesterol, and due to a family history of heart problems he got very serious about getting the issue under control. He started eating tons of fiber, cut his fat intake and calorie intake, and started playing basketball at least twice a week to stay active. Here is part of the email he sent our church small group after he got the results today:

"I went to have my cholesterol checked yesterday and got the results today. Nothing...nada...zip...perfecto...everything!!! The doctor said my current levels put me below the average for heart attack risk. Also kidneys/liver/whatever else is all perfect. So a big praise to God and a thanks to you guys for praying for my health this year. :)"

Also, the doc told him that the American Heart Association recommends peeps over 35 to take 81mg of aspirin every day to help prevent plaque buildup in your arteries, so that's his new plan!
