Timely "Ticker" Tidbits

September is National Cholesterol Education Month. Each week I will be speaking in our office, on the Radio (WAVS 1170 am: 3rd Wed @ 11:00am, 4th Tues. @11:30am), and in local places of worship. (If I haven’t spoken @ yours yet, please bring it to my attention immediately, so that we can arrange for an event.)

Why do I do all of this?

*Every year over 1.2 million suffer from heart attacks.
*300 billion is spent annually in USA treating heart disease
*The # of women that die from heart disease ea year is 223,000.
*4 out of every 10 (40%) die from their 1st heart attack.
*50% die 1 hour after a heart attack that is left untreated.
*Do you know the 6 risk factors for fatal coronary heart attack?........
50% of you reading this right now have 2 or more of these risk factors:
High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, Diabetes, Smoking, Obesity, and Inactivity.
*Nearly 50% of people die from their heart attack before transportation is possible to the nearest emergency facility.
*30% of all heart attacks are silent, painless, and present with absolutely no symptoms whatsoever.
*Every 20 sec someone suffers a heart attack in America
*Every 60 sec someone dies from a heart attack
*Studies reported by the CDC conclude that those without heart disease can prevent it by reducing their blood cholesterol and blood pressure levels.
*Prescription drugs do not correct the cause of heart disease- Proper lifestyle does.
*Heart disease has been referred to by renowned physicians as a "disease for dummies." Their explanation: 70-85% of it is treatable, preventable with proper lifestyle.
