Star of 22 Kids and Counting Noel Radford previously opened up about changes that needed to be made following a warning from his GP.
The TV personality is a father to 22 children, who he shares with wife Sue Radford. In an episode of their family show in 2022, Noel struggled while training for the Morecambe 10k.
Despite setting himself a goal of running the race in under an hour, he recognised that his health just wasn’t up to full speed.
22 Kids and Counting: Noel was at ‘high risk’ of stroke or heart attack
After being left out of breath and aching seven weeks before the race, Noel visited the doctors for a full body check-up.
Documenting his check-up, the doctor stated that his BMI was normal and that there weren’t any issues with his liver. However, he was told that his “blood pressure was mildly raised” and that he would need to “lower that”.
I want you to be around forever not dying from food.
Noel was told that he was at “high risk” of a stroke or heart attack due to his high cholesterol. In order to avoid this, he needed to rapidly cut down on the takeaways.
“One of the first things that went through my head was Sue and the kids,” he said.
