Hidden Condition Sends Heart Risk SOARING
Forty-seven million Americans are taking cholesterol medications daily. And over 17 percent of us are on a diet and trying to lose weight at any point in time.
To top it off, Big Pharma pours billions into the development of heart-related pharmaceutical drugs every year.
Yet, we still haven’t put a significant dent in heart disease. In fact, it remains the number one killer in the U.S., and there’s no sign of that changing anytime soon.
You see, the medical mainstream continues focusing on the wrong issue. While they’re looking elsewhere, meanwhile, a MAJOR trigger for heart disease is being missed.
Not only does this hidden heart disease cause go undiagnosed, there are no drugs to treat it when it is found.
But that’s okay because drugs aren’t needed to tackle this condition.
A buildup of fat in the liver causes a condition called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease or NAFLD for short. NAFLD can lead to liver scarring and inflammation, liver damage, and cirrhosis.
But it’s ALSO an overlooked risk factor for heart disease.
Shockingly, at least one in four adults already have NAFLD—but most folks have no clue because the dangerous condition doesn’t produce any symptoms.
In fact, most people find out they have NAFLD accidentally when they have an ultrasound or blood test for something else altogether.
So, what’s the relationship between your liver and your heart? Well, it turns out NAFLD and heart disease have many of the same risk factors: type 2 diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, increased abdominal fat, high triglycerides, etc.
With no symptoms and no drugs to treat it, defeating NAFLD (and slashing your heart disease risk while you’re at it) might seem hopeless. But it’s not. In fact, there’s plenty you can do.
NAFLD doesn’t have to be a death sentence and it’s not irreversible.
You can slash your liver fat levels—and dial down your risk of heart disease—with the same tried-and-true health advice I’ve been giving folks for decades.
- Move MORE—get at least 20 to 30 minutes of exercise daily.
- Stop eating sugar and processed foods.
- And spend as much time outdoors in nature as you can manage.
When you do, you’ll simultaneously reduce your liver fat, heart disease risk, and waistline.
P.S. A recent study highlighted a key lifestyle factor entirely overlooked by most doctors that could be sending your heart disease and diabetes risks skyrocketing. Click here for all the details.
