A HEALTHY TRADITION FROM MY BIRTHDAY MONTH PRESIDENT IN 1957, PRESIDENT DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER: LIMIT YOURSELF TO ONE SLICE OFTOAST PER DAY

I have developed a lifestyle habit this year of eating one slice of whole-wheat bread per day, and it does feel satisfying to note that President Dwight D. Eisenhower had recommended a similar lifestyle practice. President Eisenhower pursued that type of dietary restraint as a weight-control measure after he sustained a heart attack.

One likely difference between my daily bread consumption at home and that of President Eisenhower in The White House: it is possible that President Eisenhower ate white bread, rather than whole wheat, as his daily toasted-slice-of-bread experience. And it is possible that President Eisenhower buttered his one slice of toast per day. 

I myself do not put ANY butter or any margarine on the one total slice of bread I eat each day.

I like having this agreeable sense of continuity from my own life, by noting something tangible I DO admire about what President Eisenhower did while in the White House. Of course I would have been pleased if his Democratic Party opponent, Governor Adlai Stevenson III of Illinois, had defeated Eisenhower in the general election in November 1952 or November 1956. 

But since that did not take place, why shouldn't I "LIKE IKE", to borrow from the campaign slogan "I Like IKE" that helped Eisenhower to achieve success in his bid for the Presidency? I can "LIKE IKE" by benefitting from the nutritional value and fiber benefit from eating ONE total slice of whole-wheat bread per day.

I also have to admire the great courage that President Eisenhower showed by serving as U.S. President AFTER he sustained a heart attack in 1955, during his first term as Chief of State. He is the ONLY U.S. President I am sure about who continued to serve in The White House AFTER he had sustained a heart attack.  I did read online today, though, that President Warren G. Harding reportedly had a heart attack while in office. The source on that comes from Dr. Jim Cox of Notre Dame University, as quoted in a very thorough and apparently very accurate answer to that type of question that he helpfully provided at quora.com:
