Kevin Smith survives massive heart attack

[palitoy]

I know he's not a poster boy for fitness but nonetheless, this serves as a reminder we're not kids anymore.

Man, that story scares me completely! I'm glad he's ok, but he's only a year or so older than me and now I'm starting to think maybe I need to do something about my health.

Wishing him well...and a long life ahead of smiling, love from others, and living life to the fullest.

He has his detractors, but no one can argue that he isn't a kind and sincere human being. Feels horrible to read this about him, and I hope he bounces back with many more years.

yeah, we're really close in age so it kind of hit me where i lived as well.

You can be overweight but still be relatively healthy if you move your body, like walk, swim, low impact activity, etc.

What I have always noticed about Kevin Smith is that he always sweats a lot, even sitting down and talking. I used to sweat a lot myself...but then I started walking a lot, dropped a few pounds...now I don’t sweat unless doing exercise.

Hope he starts getting physically more active...and yes, ease up on the junk food would help...

Highly recommended...

I’m going to look into it myself...

Agreed, my initial comment was me trying to get around his weight being the issue, i know more than one athlete in my life downed by them as well.

Smith had gone through a period of weight loss the last couple of years, dropping sugar and walking more. I guess he still should have had a check up.

Hope Kevin gets better

Oh wow. That is scary. Nice to here he survived it, and I hope he recovers fully. I'm a bit hot and cold on him, but that has nothing to do with wishing him the best.

Well, the good news, he survived. He’s a cool dude...hope he makes a full recovery.

Now if he only stops wearing hockey jerseys and those stupid long denim shorts...

I'm glad you brought up the age (born in 1970). He is of the mego generation. He brings megos up all the time .

Comic book men is must watch TV for me. I hope he bounces back.

I read about this earlier today. he is sooooo lucky to be a live. that is the same type of heart attack that killed one of my best friends 2 years ago. still scares the hell out of me. I wish him all the best and I hope that it does give a wake up all to people. the widow maker heart attack is no joking matter
