It’s well chronicled that the leading cause of Cardiovascular Heart Disease is high cholesterol, yet the statistics indicate that a staggering 20 million Americans suffer from some form of heart disease, therefore one must at least partially conclude that, despite the amount of educational materials, informational resources, and medical support available to the public at large; the message may be being heard, but people are generally not listening. One explanation I believe carries some weight is that most people simply do not understand how to apply the indirect messages they are hearing directly to their everyday lives and diet.

I’ve provided the following two videos to help you directly apply the aforementioned messages in a safe, simple, and healthy way. In the first video, the characteristics of heart disease are defined, so that we can first identify the nature of this deadly disease and its’ manifestations before developing misinformed prevention plans. In the second video, a certified fitness coach provides a concise analysis of what factors contribute to high cholesterol levels and also offers some practical exercise tips you can take advantage of while conducting your daily routine. I hope you enjoy these brief, but informative videos and begin applying the knowledge you have gained. I’m interested in hearing about some of the heart disease related challenges that either you or your family have faced over the years. Please feel free to share your experiences with the Ashworth student community. I’ll talk to you again soon. In the meantime, stay focused on your program studies and achieving your goals. Take care.
