Heart Health

I think it is scary to know that cardiovascular diesease is the "nation's leading cause of death." Although they said it has dropped in recent years, health official says it will increase twice the amount in the next several years. Especially right now, where we are in a financial crisis and where prices are high, people have been eating at fast food restaurants because it is all we can afford. From eating a lot of fast food, it clogs arteries with fatty plaques, which can result of a heart attack in middle aged men and women. One of the solution to reduce and eliminate cardiovascular disease is for Americans to change their lifestyles. I believe it is hard to change our lifestyles because we are not very aware of this cause. It is difficult to change our way of life because we are so use to the way we live that we just don't want to change. All I think we can do is to start excersing and begin to cut down on fatty foods.
