I recently found out I have a heart condition which poses no significant threat (increased risk of heart attack and/or death) as long as I keep fit and healthy. No drama there, I like keeping fit and healthy anyway, as I suspect most people here do. I was discussing it with someone the other day who does not find exercise and healthy eating as easy as I do. They wondered what people in their position do when they get similar news. I suggested the vast majority would make life changes in favour of exercise and healthy eating. They suggested that it might be too hard to make those changes.

Would anyone really ignore such a threat given the choice? Maybe not anyone here, being watersport enthusiasts, but do you know or have you heard of anyone taking the high risk option with a similar choice?
