American Heart Association (AHA) President Dr. John Warner (a cardiologist) suffered a heart attack at a health conference in Anaheim, CA last month.  Thankfully he was taken to a local hospital where doctors inserted a stent to open a clogged artery and is reportedly doing well.  But you must admit it is the ultimate irony…

Currently about 30 million people in the US between the ages of 40 and 75 take statins, so I think it’s safe to say we have a cholesterol issue going on.

Despite all our advances in medical testing and surgery, and the plethora of medications that are prescribed left and right, the fact remains that a whopping 92.1 million Americans (1 out of 3 of us) has some form of heart disease.

Currently, about 75 million Americans have high blood pressure—that’s about 1 out of 3 adults!   And it’s not just the total number that’s a concern here because the overall percentage of people suffering from it is growing too.

Hopefully, by now you’re aware that your diet is the single most significant factor in determining your health (or lack thereof).   This is especially true of your heart and cardiovascular system!

Unless you’ve been living under a rock lately, you’ve probably heard that Omega-3 essential fatty acids are important for heart health.  But you may be in for a surprise because recent evidence shows Omega-3s are even more impressive than we thought… But the key is, you have to make sure you’re getting the right kind.
