Intro

Before outlining heart disease fighting strategies, it’s important you understand some basic facts about heart disease, how much power you have over heart disease, and the simple choices you can make to avoid or overcome this disease.

Facts

1. The #1 killer among people is heart disease. It’s been the leading cause of death since 1900 and is projected to remain that way for decades to come.[1]

2. Heart disease begins in the womb, and is the result of LDL cholesterol in the blood stream.[2]

3. Taking a pill does not solve the problem, eating the right food solves the problem.[3]

4. The four lifestyle choices to lower heart disease risk: eat more fruits, more vegetables, more whole grains, and more nuts & beans.[4]

5. Remarkable improvements only take a few weeks.[5]

Little lifestyle tweaks can make a huge difference.

Let’s look at those now…
