Women can reduce risk of heart disease with diet, exercise By Pineandlakes Echo Journal on Feb 18, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, but there are steps you can take to reduce your risk. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says cardiovascular disease outranks all forms of cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and pneumonia in causing death. Fortunately, heart disease is largely preventable through lifestyle.

Statins can trigger a deadly disease
by: Sara Middleton, staff writer | February 14, 2019 ( NaturalHealth365 ) Conventionally speaking, statins are designed to ‘protect’ your health by lowering your cholesterol. But, in too many cases, there are patients uninformed about the fatal threat of this type of drug. (allow me to explain) Remember the Ice Bucket Challenge? Well, hopefully you remember the disease that the viral challenge was raising money (and awareness) for.
Ways to reduce the burden of CVD risk factors
Multiple risk factors are causally related to cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality. A twenty-five percent reduction in premature cardiovascular disease mortality globally is achievable but requires better implementation of evidence-based policies (tobacco control, among others) and integrated health systems strategies that improve myocardial infarction and stroke prevention and management.
Prof Mohsin Zillur Karim Exposure to known risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remains alarmingly common and presents one of the largest barriers to improved global health. Most CVD-related premature deaths are linked to these common risk factors. The vast majority of CVDs is a result of the continuation of preventable behavioural and metabolic risk factors.
