Some key takeaways from this episode include:

  • Heart disease is a broad term that encompasses any conditions and diseases that have to do with your cardiovascular system, not just a heart attack or cardiac arrest.

  • Some of the big risk factors for heart disease are stress, high BMI, poorly managed diabetes, genetics, sedentary lifestyle, and smoking.

  • The biggest things you can control to prevent heart disease are your diet and exercise activit. Limiting red meats and saturated fats, eating lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and omega-3 fatty foods like salmon.
