Heart Health
Heart disease ranks among of the most common health problems in America today. It is also one of the deadliest diseases. More people die every year from heart disease than from any other cause, including cancer.
It is common knowledge that heart disease is largely lifestyle-related, caused by poor nutrition, lack of exercise, stress and sleep deprivation. Many, if not most, of the contributing factors to heart disease are under our control and can be changed.
Protecting Your Heart Health
Matters at Any Age
Weight management through healthy eating and regular exercise is one of the most important steps one can take to reduce the risk of heart disease. Abstinence from smoking or drug- and alcohol abuse is also required. Medical management and sugery may be necessary in advanced stages of heart disease, but medical treatments work best when they are supported by a heart-health promoting lifestyle.
