Hello, World!

I thought I was going to die.

On that day, 26 years ago, while hooked to several machines in a hospital in Michigan, U.S.A, the doctor told me I had a massive heart attack that caused extensive bleeding; I was devastated.

It was a shocker! Why? What happened? I asked myself.

But I didn’t die.

God kept me alive. I was then 63; I am now 90. 

The above is an excerpt from Chapter 1 of the book, Reversing Type 2 Diabetes, Kidney Disease, and Heart Disease: Exposing Longevity and Old Age Secrets to Living into Your 90s: Second Edition: Updated and Expanded, by Veltisezar Bautista.  The author’s heart attack caused him to embark on a health journey that sparked his desire for lifestyle changes, a flexible plant-based diet, and a regimen of simple, practical, and proper exercises.

This nonagenarian author, in this book, shares his story and his secrets to longevity and how he has been successfully battling his diseases and disorders. These illnesses and conditions, include type 2 diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, peripheral neuropathy, imbalance, incontinence, and tinnitus or ringing in the ears. He has reversed and put type 2 diabetes and kidney disease into remission and has reversed his heart disease severity and put it into a better condition, with an ejection fraction of 44 percent, a big increase from his ejection fraction of 15% in 2016.

How the author tells his story simply in a descriptive and well-organized format is quite impressive and amazing.

Kirkus Reviews, in its review of the book’s original edition, says, “A deeply personal, health-related self-portrait and a basic set of self-care reminders.”
