Shocking News : almost all heart attacks are preventable!
An American dies every 30 seconds from cardiovascular disease--often in the form of a heart attack. That's 3,500 people every day. In fact, chances are good that if you have two best friends, one of the three of you will die from cardiovascular disease.
What's more distressing--almost all heart attacks are preventable!
You May Not Know Your Risk Until Too Late Heart attacks are caused by a build-up of plaque in your arteries. When plaque ruptures, blood clots are formed that lead to a heart attack or stroke.
The culprit? Plaque in your arteries is caused by too much bad cholesterol in the blood. In fact, the higher the level of bad cholesterol in your blood, the higher your risk of heart disease.
Health officials estimate that more than 50 percent of all adults have unhealthy levels of cholesterol and 42 million adults have dangerously high levels--you could be one of them without even knowing.
In many cases the first indication that there's a problem with your cholesterol level is a heart attack and death. Lower your cholesterol level and you'll lower your risk of a heart attack.
