The American Heart Association has designated February as heart health month. Heart disease kills more Americans than cancer each year. It is shocking how little attention this disease receives as the leading cause of death in America.Many factors contribute to a healthy heart including eating well, exercising, and avoidance of smoking. All contribute to good health by decreasing atherosclerosis.
Atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of heart disease and usually quite advanced by the time the heart is involved .
