[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1958758, member: 63925"] I am 70 and hunted last year without any problems at all at 10,000. In 2005 after I had a heart attack my cardiologist gave me very simple advice that I still follow and has held up over time. Eat balanced [B][U]single[/U] [/B]helping meals. Solid carbs in morning, tons of fruit, whole grain bread at lunch, minimize processed food, lean meat vegetables at night. Nothing after 6:30PM except for water. One thing that is easily overlooked is weigh yourself every morning before eating. Doc believed this little task sets your mindset for the day for motivation and provide mental reward as you drop weight. It worked for me. I was walking 9-11 miles every other day prior to hunt. Hydrate well during any exercise. Get to altitude at least 3 days prior to hunt to allow full acclimation before you actually on are the hunt clock. I know its hard to add in extra altitude time prep but your hunt will go much smoother if you can. Sometimes we can over think a simple solution like we all know what is healthy to eat; just need the mental fortitude and motivation to change your health life style. Hey, still get DQ Blizzard once in a great while as reward treat. Now that is good for mental health too! [/QUOTE]
