Heart Health4 Heart Healthy Habits to Cut Chronic Disease Risk 78%
The U.S. Center for Disease Control has identified four lifestyle factors that can drastically reduce your risk of chronic disease, such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.
Tired of changes that don't last?
- Do not smoke – ever.
- Eat a diet high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low in meat.
- Exercise a minimum of 30 minutes everyday.
- Keep your BMI less than 30.
These four factors were used to analyze a little over 23,000 Germans between the ages of 35 and 65. Only 9% met and maintained all 4 factors, but this 9% was 78% less likely to develop a chronic disease.
All the best,

Where I send people for supplements
Food first, always. When a supplement is worth considering, the front of the bottle is marketing and the supplement facts panel is the actual content. Two bottles at the same price can differ by half in what they deliver.
My dispensary carries practitioner-grade products, most of which aren’t sold direct to consumers, with the reasoning behind each one.
I may earn a commission on dispensary orders.
