Helping Your Heart
Heart disease is the world's number one killer. It is responsible for one in every three deaths. It affects women and men with no respect for geography or economics.
There is a shocking lack of awareness about heart disease. 80% of the 17 million deaths caused by heart disease occur in low and middle-income countries. Children are at increasing risk, for example, through tobacco smoking (active and passive), overweight, obesity and lack of physical activity. More than one-third of these deaths occur in middle-aged adults.
Deaths among women due to heart disease are eighteen times higher than breast cancer.
With positive action at population and individual level, the death and disability resulting from heart disease can be reduced by more than 50%.
Begin helping your heart by stopping smoking. Lose weight; control your diet instead of it controlling you. Exercise; even if you just walk a few minutes, it is a start. Have your blood
pressure and cholesterol checked. Reduce stress! Please visit www.heart.org for many more tips on preventing heart attack and stroke.
One thing our family has done to help our hearts is taking antioxidants and omega-3 essential fatty acids. Antioxidants help protect the valuable characteristics of healthy oils so those oils don't oxidize under stress. If you are consuming concentrated omega-3s, you should also be using a potent antioxidant!
