Cardiovascular Disease, also known as “Heart Disease,” is one of the leading causes of adult death. Heart diseases often remain undiagnosed due to the absence of typical symptoms and the diversity of symptoms that can mimic other health conditions.
Today Dr. Stephen Hussey, a Chiropractor, Speaker, Author, and the Owner and Lead Health Coach at Resource Your Health, talks about heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and their causes. He also debunks the myths surrounding these diseases and shares certain foods that influence your risk of having them.
