Nearly twice as many American women die of cardiovascular disease, which includes heart disease and stroke, than from all forms of cancer combined, according to the American Heart Association.
Thirty-eight percent who have heart attacks die within a year, compared to 25 percent of men.
The main causes of cardiovascular disease,
- family history (which can be mitigated)
- hypertension (which can be avoided)
- diabetes (this can also be avoided)
- high cholesterol (this can also be avoided)
- obesity (also in your hands)
- lack of exercise ( start moving)
There you have it, you do not have to be a statistic if you act and make positive change in your life.
