is good news for your blood
1
•Since 1900, CVD has been the No. 1 killer in the United States
every year but 1918.
•Nearly 2,600 Americans die of CVD each day, an average of
death every 33 seconds.
1
•CVD claims more lives each year than the next 5 leading causes of
death combined, which are cancer, chronic lower respiratory
diseases, accidents, diabetes mellitus, influenza and pneumonia.
•Almost 150,000 Americans killed by CVD each year are under age
65.

Stress can be a killer
• Estimated that 75% of physician visits
are stress related
• Unmanaged stress significantly
increases risk of heart disease
• Stress also affects brain function
• Unmanaged emotional stress is now
regarded as MORE important than
physical measures in predicting heart
disease outcomes
10
What simple “lifestyle” measures
can we take to reduce our risk?
•
•
•
•
•
Eat more fruit and vegetables
Exercise more often
Reduce intake of saturated fat
Stop smoking
Drink sensibly
