Heart Disease? ME?

Heart Disease?

Not Me!



We all believe we are invincible but the truth is that a half million people die every year from heart disease. Why do you think it could NOT happen to you?


Well, ok, in theory, that COULD happen to me, but heart disease is for old people, not me. ah, yes, This is a denial that self adjusts every year we age. Let's look at the facts, not the wishful thinking of heart disease.

• As early as 45 a man's risk of heart attack increases, a woman at age 55.


• 50% of men and 64% of women have no symptoms other than sudden death.


• Two thirds of teens have one or more risk factor.

Some risk factors you can control, some you cannot, but those you can you should be proactive in reducing. Research shows that each risk factor added to your list increases your chance of developing heart disease, but the more pronounced that factor, it also increases your probability. The longer your list, the more they "gang up" and increase your risk exponentially- like being overweight and having high blood pressure.

So what are the risk factors?

• Age


• Family History


• High Blood Pressure+


• High Cholesterol+


• Obesity+


• Cigarette Smoking+


• Physical Inactivity+


• Diabetes+

+ Lifestyle related factor you have control over.
