wilsonjames+FollowHeart Attacks Aren’t #1 Anymore?!Wild stat: Heart attacks aren’t the top heart killer in the U.S. anymore! Thanks to better meds and emergency care, deaths from heart attacks have dropped 89% since 1970. But here’s the twist—other heart issues like heart failure, high blood pressure, and arrhythmias are way up. Basically, we’re surviving heart attacks but living longer with other heart problems. Lifestyle (think: fast food, stress, and sitting all day) is still a huge risk. Time to check those heart health habits! #HeartHealth #HealthNews #Wellness #Health #BodyHealth30Share
Danielle French+FollowThis Food Beats Aspirin for Heart Health?Dr. Eric Berg just dropped a bombshell: cod liver oil might be the ultimate artery-unclogger—yep, even better than aspirin! He says the omega-3s and vitamins in cod liver oil help keep your arteries clear, lower inflammation, and could even reduce your risk of heart attacks and strokes. Salmon, mackerel, and sardines are great too, but cod liver oil is his top pick. Before you start chugging fish oil, though, check with your doc—supplements aren’t for everyone! #HeartHealth #Superfood #Wellness #Health #Diet681Share
Donald Jones DDS+Follow2 Foods That Outsmart CholesterolTurns out, your breakfast could be your heart’s secret weapon! Cardiologists say oats and plant sterols (think fortified spreads and yogurts) can actually lower your cholesterol naturally—almost like statins, but from your kitchen. Oats are packed with beta-glucan fiber, and plant sterols block cholesterol absorption. While they’re not a total replacement for meds, adding these to your daily routine could give your heart some extra love. Anyone else suddenly craving oatmeal? #HeartHealth #Cholesterol #HealthyEating #Health #BodyHealth104Share
wilsonjames+FollowHeart Attacks Down, But These Risks Are Up!Wild stat: heart attack deaths have dropped by almost 90% in the last 50 years! But before we celebrate, there’s a twist—other heart issues are spiking. Arrhythmia deaths are up 450%, heart failure up 146%, and high blood pressure-related deaths up 106%. Docs say it’s linked to more obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Basically, we’re surviving heart attacks, but new heart problems are taking over. Prevention is the new game—think healthy eating, moving more, and keeping those numbers in check! #HeartHealth #Wellness #HealthNews #Health #BodyHealth50Share
shermandarlene+FollowCBD’s Surprising Heart Health Perk?Turns out, CBD might be a secret weapon for heart health! A new study found that regular CBD doses helped mice with heart failure by keeping their heart cells’ mitochondria healthy, reducing inflammation, and even improving how their hearts pump. The science-y part: CBD seems to protect the heart by balancing cell energy and calming inflammation. It even helps with calcium balance in heart cells (yep, that’s a thing). Could CBD be the next big thing for heart care? #CBD #HeartHealth #Wellness #Health #BodyHealth240Share
Charles Christensen+FollowHeart Attacks Down, But Heart Risks ShiftedWild stat: Heart attack deaths dropped by 89% since the '70s! But here’s the twist—other heart issues like heart failure and high blood pressure are now on the rise. Better treatments and less smoking helped, but with more people living longer (and obesity/diabetes up), chronic heart problems are the new threat. The big takeaway? We’ve crushed heart attacks, but heart disease is still lurking. Prevention is key—think healthy food, moving more, and keeping those numbers in check! #HeartHealth #Wellness #Prevention #Health #BodyHealth20Share
Joseph Bradley+FollowHeart Attack Deaths Down 90%?!Heart attack deaths have dropped a jaw-dropping 90% in the last 50 years! Thanks to medical breakthroughs and better care, way fewer people are dying from heart attacks now. But here’s the twist: other heart issues like heart failure and arrhythmias are on the rise. Heart disease is still a big deal, so docs say keep up with healthy habits—think diet, exercise, and ditching tobacco. Wild how much things have changed, right? #HeartHealth #MedicalBreakthrough #Wellness #Health #BodyHealth70Share
wilsonjames+FollowHeart Attacks Down, But Watch Out for These!Wild stat: Heart attack deaths have dropped nearly 90% in the last 50 years—amazing, right? But before you start celebrating, docs say three other heart conditions are quietly taking over: arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats), heart failure, and hypertensive heart disease (thanks, high blood pressure). These are rising fast, partly because more of us have risk factors like obesity and diabetes. Basically, we’re living longer, but our hearts still need some serious TLC! #HeartHealth #Wellness #HealthNews #Health #BodyHealth113Share
wilsonjames+FollowScientists Might Have Found a Way to Reverse Heart Aging!Get this: researchers just discovered that tweaking the 'scaffolding' around heart cells (the extracellular matrix) could actually slow down or even reverse heart aging. They built a wild new model that lets them see how a young vs. old environment affects heart cells, and it turns out the chemical signals matter more than stiffness! Human treatments are still a ways off, but in the meantime, regular exercise, a healthy diet, good sleep, less stress, and cutting back on booze are your best bets for a younger heart. #HeartHealth #Aging #ScienceNews #Health110Share
Kristi Key+FollowAvocados: The Heart Hero You Didn’t ExpectTurns out, avocados are more than just toast toppers—they might actually help lower your risk of heart disease! A cardiologist says eating just two servings a week can cut your chances of heart issues by up to 21%. They’re packed with healthy fats, fiber, potassium (even more than bananas!), and plant sterols that help keep cholesterol in check. Swap out butter for avocado, toss it in salads, or even bake with it. Who knew heart health could taste this good? #HeartHealth #AvocadoLove #HealthyEating #Health40Share
