An Educational Moment

While I am not the perfect specimen of fitness, I do try to lead a somewhat healthy lifestyle. Having worked in cardiology for nearly 12 years, I know the benefits of living a heart-healthy lifestyle. Heart disease is the number one cause of death amongst women and more often than not, it's a silent killer. Most women don't ever think to get a cardiology work-up and therefore have no clue that they could be suffering from heart disease which can easily be corrected with diet, exercise, lifestyle changes and sometimes moderate medication regimes.

Whole Foods Markets has entered the world of health education by starting their Heart Health podcast. I think it's wonderful that a grocery store is stepping to the plate and attempting to educate consumers on the dangers of heart disease as well as providing greatly needed information on what can be done to prevent heart disease. Please follow the above link and check for further information regarding this podcast. Become educated and aware and realize that we as women owe it to ourselves to learn as much as possible about this disease that can be beat!
