Heart health is an important issue because we are concerned about high blood pressure and diabetes. It seems everyone is interested in cholesterol supplements, fish oils, CoQ10 and supplements for heart health and specific conditions.
For reasonably healthy adults in their 20s, 30s or early 40s, a severe cardiac event occurring to a parent or other loved one is often the impetus for that individual to think more seriously about his or her own cardiovascular wellness.
Women are at a significant risk since there is widely publicized knowledge that heart attacks are the number one killer of post-menopausal women.
When testing becomes available, that is when you see increasing and decreasing incidents. Prostate cancer was not widely known about until a test came about. Then cancer rates skyrocketed. The same can be said for the heart market. Once a good test came about, like cholesterol, then you have increased incidences. Once you have a test to determine if you are at risk, you can be healthier.
Medically, heart disease is treated as a chronic condition that cannot be cured but can be maintained; people can live longer based on lowering their cholesterol by eating healthier foods, exercising and taking medication, be it natural or synthetic.
