You should be MUCH more concerned about heart disease than any other health issue, because you are more likely to die of heart disease than any other health concern you may have!

Having said that, I want to STRESS the following FACTS:

• diabetes and sugar intake significantly increase your chance of succumbing to heart disease and heart failure!
• high blood pressure is a paved road to heart failure!
• highly processed foods lead to heart failure through weight gain, mal-nutrition, and water retention.
• inactivity will drain the strength of your muscles, including your HEART MUSCLE.  (So will Statins!)
• your inability to process your emotions in a healthy way contributes to heart failure as much as every point listed above.
• sometimes the first sign of heart disease is a HEART ATTACK!
• most women who have a heart attack succumb to heart failure within one year.
• heart failure is very difficult to diagnose, so you may not even hear the term until you are fighting for your life in intensive care.
• the CDC says that 20% of patients die within one year of a heart failure diagnosis, and 50% die within five years.
• young people are also succumbing to heart disease, including heart failure.
