The Eight Major Causes of Heart Disease Unveiled - How Do You Score? 
After ten years, 52 countries, 29,000 participants, and 262 scientists, the results of a major new study on heart disease were presented to the European Society of Cardiology. The findings: the causes for heart disease are the same worldwide. From developed to developing countries, across diverse languages, ethnicities, and economies, the same eight causes of heart disease remain globally universal. What are these eight causes? In order of importance and severity, they are:
Bad cholesterol profile accounted for 50% of the risk of heart disease among participants. Unfortunately, researchers say almost everyone living in an urban population has a cholesterol profile that puts them at increased risk for heart disease. Smoking, ranked second in severity, accounted for 36% of the risk of heart disease. Stress, number six, scored higher than researchers anticipated. This stress could come from financial problems, family tensions, divorce, losing a child, and so on. The average age for heart attack was 57 for men, 65 for women. The only exception was that people in Southern Asia, the Middle East, and Africa generally experienced heart attacks ten years earlier. How did you do? Is there anything about your lifestyle you can change? You may have heard lately that President Clinton, at only 58 years old, just had a quadruple bypass. Getting a quadruple bypass on your heart is a horrible thing, but on the news they make it sound as if it were no more of an ordeal than getting a haircut. Far from it! Chances are within 10 years, if he is still alive, these grafts will be closed up and he'll need to have it done again. What a thing to look forward to. The average age of heart attack for men - 57 years - and is very young. This is a shame, especially since we know what causes this disease and how to prevent it. There are consequences to fast food, bad oils, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, processed foods, lack of exercise, lowered fruit and vegetable intake, and inability to deal with stress. The consequences are simple: a heart attack. While glorified as beneficial, drug prescriptions and surgical procedures for heart disease are not the solution. They are poorly effective and very far from the optimum solution. Chelation Therapy and Heart Disease We have programs at LifeWorks Wellness Center for dealing with nearly every one of the eight major causes of heart disease. One you may not be familiar with is Chelation Therapy. Used for over 30 years to treat degenerative diseases such as high cholesterol, poor circulation, and heart disease, Chelation Therapy is administered via an intravenous infusion of a special protein called EDTA. This protein is scientifically proven to remove heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury, and others from the body. Some researchers believe that as Chelation Therapy removes toxic heavy metals from the body, oxidative stress diminishes and cholesterol levels lower, allowing blood to flow more freely through your arteries. In short, removing heavy metals from your body improves your circulation, heart, brain and immune functions. If you would like to learn more about Chelation Therapy, or about our other programs for better health, call LifeWorks Wellness Center at 727-466-6789 or 877-543-3975.
