According to the American Heart Association (AHA), coronary heart disease (CHD) is the single leading cause of death in America. CHD causes heart attacks and angina (chest pain). These CHD statistics are directly from the AHA website:
* Mortality — 451,326 deaths in the United States in 2004 (one of every five deaths).
* Incidence — 1,200,000 new and recurrent coronary attacks per year. (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's Atherosclerotic Risk in Communities [ARIC] Study and Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS). About 38 percent of people who experience a coronary attack in a given year die from it.
Living the American way and eating the standard American diet (SAD), you may just wind up as one these AHA statistics someday.
There are several things you can do to significantly reduce your risk of ever having a heart attack:
1. Eat only plant foods, i.e. vegetables, beans, whole grains, and fruits.
2. Consume no visible fat or obvious fat. Be stringent or even eliminate oils.
3. Do not eat dairy products, not even fat-free varieties.
4. Eat an abundance of colorful vegetables and fruits, whole grains, and beans.
5. Exercise
6. Reduce the stress level in your life and practice stress management.
