Cardiovascular Disease, the cause of heart attacks and strokes, is our leading killer!
You can do something about it!
The modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease include:
- Being overweight or obese.
- Smoking.
- Eating a diet high in fat and/or sugar.
- Leading a sedentary lifestyle.
- High blood pressure.
- High LDL (the “bad”) cholesterol.
- High blood sugar.
Cardiovascular disease is REVERSIBLE if you get your total cholesterol down to around 150, without using statin drugs, but with a plant-based diet!
Work through Dr. Greger’s series on Heart Disease!
