💬 "Our body does a great job dealing with the abnormal till you can’t handle it anymore. You’re able to deal with it until you can’t. And once you can’t, guess what happens? You have a stroke. You have a heart attack. You go into kidney failure. You end up on dialysis. That’s the problem—and that is why we call it the silent killer.”
