Listen To Your Body...
If you answered yes to these questions, you may have early
warning signs of arterial blockages. Although other
circumstances can cause the above symptoms, it is always
best to be proactive. We encourage you to speak with your
Doctor about these signs and your current health condition.
Did you know that it is not uncommon for people as young as
18 years of age to have blockages in their arteries? That's
because age alone is not the main cause of blocked arteries.
Many factors beyond age cause your arteries to fill up with
plaque. Here are a few of the reasons that put you at risk:
Genetic or family history.
Air pollution.
Eating processed foods.
Hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils.
Diabetes.
Lack of exercise.
Excessive caffeine consumption.
Cigarette smoking.
Stress and anxiety.
Lack of proper rest.
Poor diet - too much "junk food".
And more...
