Cardiovascular and metabolic disease cause a majority of disability, dysfunction and deaths in America. There is so much confusion around what we should be doing for heart health and longevity.
If you are someone who has been diagnosed with pre-diabetes, high cholesterol and blood pressure that is creeping up, lifestyle changes can make a huge impact. If you've been struggling with these conditions for a while, we may still be able to impact disease. Our diets often consist of heavily processed foods that have tons of added sugars and chemicals that contribute to all of this inflammation. We sit too much and are stressed out, which spikes our sugar.
This requires a multifaceted approach to lifestyle changes. A maintenance acupuncture schedule, a combination of Chinese herbal medicine along with supplements, dietary changes, stress and sleep management, adding in extra steps especially after meals along with specific cardiac and metabolic labwork can keep us living longer, healthier lives.
