Think you or your kids are too young to worry about cardiovascular disease? Think again! While most of us assume that problems like high cholesterol or blood pressure are reserved for those over the age of 60, the truth is heart disease can begin decades earlier. In fact, recent studies show that a growing number of children and young adults are already living with serious risk factors that could set them up for a future heart attack or stroke. Jim LaValle, a clinical pharmacist, author, board certified clinical nutritionist, and heart health expert, reveals how we can help kids, teens, and young adults prepare for healthy cardiovascular lives. He also details some new and exciting heart health research from our friends at Kyolic showing Aged Garlic Extract’s ability to effectively lower blood pressure.
