my elderly friend (82 years old) had 2 major heart attacks and one minor, the most recent one was 7 months ago. recently he has alot of problem with short of breath, he must take a break from walking 10 metres to get his breath back , he is also quite obese. Now he has started drinking beer again, today he had 2 beer, yesterday one, his doctor made him quit drinking 5 years ago, now he took it up again. Also he has 1 litre of icecream every few day. My question is will these 'little' diet change coz any further illness based on his condition?

Tell him a glass of red wine is good for his heart, better than the beer. And the icecream isn't helping his obesity, which puts more of a load on his damaged heart.
Having said that, though, at age 82, he probably feels he doesn't have much time left anyway so he might as well enjoy what he has.

i'm a nurse. i'm greater in contact approximately him taking the two mutually. you spot the ice cream with the beer will provide him an dissatisfied abdomen and make him vomit plenty. The shortness of breath is likewise alarming. He ought to stop using alcoholic beverages, yet will he? i think of that he possibly won't. perchance if he beverages the non alcoholic style you purchase them. attempt putting them right into a pitcher already and giving them to him and notice if if will artwork. If no longer then tell him which you care and ask him to renounce.

at his age let him do it, he's too old to be a gogolo again, and what else is there, he's going sooner than later so let him enjoy, but try change the MAGNUM STRENGHT BEER, to a LIGHTER VERSION< ALSO THE ICECREAM TO LOW FAT< THAT WAY HE MIGHT LAST LONGER!!!!
