Things You Can Do

  • Heart disease is the number one killer of both men and women in the United States.
  • Every 20 seconds, someone in the United States has a heart attack.
  • One in four Americans has some form of heart disease.
  • Every 34 seconds someone in the United States dies of heart disease.
  • Heart disease takes more lives than the next seven leading causes of death combined.
The statistics are frightening: Yet, both modern medicine and ayurveda concur that there are things you can do every day to keep your heart healthy. Here are some suggestions to get you started. Pick one or two and start with those if you like, then add a couple more every few weeks until you are naturally living a heart-healthy lifestyle. Bonus: Not just your heart, but your entire physiology will thank you.
