The number one killer of Americans, heart disease, has firmly taken hold of the Baby
Boomer generation. One in every three Boomers has one type of cardiovascular disease (CVD) or another. The good news is that it's not too late to make a significant change in improving your health. "These are exciting times for cardiovascular disease prevention," said Dr. B Bottenburg, DO, FACOI. "Thanks to modern data, we can pinpoint what lifestyle changes are most effective in preventing CVD, and the latest innovations in medicine allow us to detect heart disease much earlier than we previously thought possible." In caring for your heart, the best way to be proactive is to start with a risk factor analysis. This test reviews several aspects of your lifestyle including smoking, exercise habits, stress levels, and age.
Once you know your risk factors, you can begin preventing heart disease with a combination of medical therapies and lifestyle modifications - usually as simple as removing a little salt from your diet or walking a half hour everyday. These assessments, along with many online educational tools, empower our society with a wealth of healthcare knowledge. So start now by maintaining a healthy heart and lifestyle - the sooner you begin, the more your heart will thank you in the future.
