Summary:
Cardiovascular disease is the #1 killer of Americans today, and while most doctors focus on lowering cholesterol and blood pressure they are overlooking the real culprit: glucose levels. With today's overweight population and dramatic increase in Type II Diabetes, studies now show that sugar, not fat, does most of the heart damage. Plague reducing statins used to lower high cholesterol treat some symptoms but not the cause of most heart disease -- and they do not stop the growth of arterial plaque. The good news is that everyone-regardless of size, genetics, gender, or age-can treat arterial plaque and prevent heart attacks and strokes with THE 30-DAY HEART TUNE-UP. The key to the program is about shrinking arterial plaque, improving circulation, and strengthening your heartbeat with fiber and fitness using these tools: Adding heart-healing foods to your diet Exercise that strengthens your heart and arteries Stress management A customized heart-friendly supplement plan THE 30-DAY HEART TUNE-UP program is easy, fast, and could even be called sexy. Dr. Masley devotes a chapter to showing how improving heart health improves sex drive in both men and women.
