Welcome to Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show. Today, we're going to do this talk about healthy heart cholesterol, and we're going to look at the heart from a different angle and in a different perspective. And the key to the heart is prevention.
Welcome to the Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show, a podcast advocating wellness, life and healing from within. With 38 years in practice, 50,000 patients and over 1 million chiropractic adjustments, here's your host, Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr.
My name is Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr, I'm a Doctor of Chiropractic. And stay tuned, we're doing this show to educate the public on health and wellness. And we're going to focus on the heart today. How do we keep our heart healthy?
So let's talk about some of the statistics and facts. The heart is an amazing organ, it beats 100,000 times per day. The heart is the hardest working muscle in the body. It's about the size of a fist, and it weighs less than a pound, but yet it does so much work. It's amazing.
So as far as heart health is concerned, we're not doing a good job at keeping healthy and taking care of our heart. Heart disease is the Number 1 cause of death in the US today with both male and female; 50% of the females die from heart disease and 50% males die from heart disease.
So one in two adults pretty much gets heart disease. University studies have detected that disease even start at a young age, as young as seven years of age. So for citizens of the United States, heart disease serves as the Number 1 cause of death, and is responsible for killing over 600,000 people every year, and about 720,000 people have heart disease every year.
So heart disease affects our nation and it strains our healthcare system. And it's a silent killer; it affects people silently and you don't even know you have a problem until something happens, until you have symptoms.
So history is important, genetics are important, but really the most important thing is the lifestyle. Those are the variables that can affect your heart. So the way you live your life is going to be a major part in your Health.
So prevention methods that we have today is basically weight control, nutritional choices, exercise. And basically we're treating the symptoms, we're taking medication to treat the symptoms. More and more people today are taking you know, blood pressure medication at a young age.
So what I want to do is talk about a different way of looking at the heart in chiropractic care and how it relates to heart disease and heart health.
