Nearly every family has been touched by heart disease in one way or another. For survivors, a medical trauma can be a wakeup call to reevaluate life priorities – stress, time with family, faith, forgiveness and the little things that give life meaning. It can also be a wakeup call to revisit lifestyle and health habits, such as diet, exercise and tobacco use.
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S. But it doesn’t have to be. The World Heart Federation estimates that 80% of cardiovascular disease is preventable through measures like diet and lifestyle.
