Prevent Heart Disease Naturally
Heart disease is a worldwide killer; it does not discriminate based on ethnic background, socio-economic status, or gender. It is the number one killer of both men and women. In the United States alone, heart disease is responsible for 40 percent of all deaths, more than all forms of cancer combined. It is also a major cause of disability. The risk of heart disease increases as you age, men over 45 and women over 55 have a greater risk. Your risk also increases if a family member suffered from heart disease at an early age.
Heart Disease Risk Linked to Childhood Obesity
Childhood obesity has reached epidemic proportions in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention approximately 16 percent of children ages 2 to 19 are considered obese. Authors of the New England Journal of Medicine have predicted that by 2035, there will be 100,000 additional cases of heart disease attributed to current instances of obesity in children. Research also presents a growing corroboration of links between childhood obesity and heart disease.
