Excerpt from Ovadia Heart Health:
"Did you know?
88% of people are at risk of chronic disease and premature death.
Odds are you’re one of them.
I’ve watched patients in their thirties die on operating tables. They left behind young children to grow up without Dad or Mom.
Others felt fine until their fifties or sixties. Until the day they felt a pain in their chest that wouldn’t go away and they wound up on my operating table. Many survived but they had to trade their golf clubs for walkers, unable to even pick up their grandchildren.
This is tragic. But even more tragic is that these illnesses and deaths were largely preventable.
We’re so used to high rates of chronic disease and visible symptoms of poor health that we assume this is normal, when in reality it’s a silent pandemic that we can overcome.
The truth is that our lifestyle choices are killing us: more than half of all Americans suffer from at least one chronic disease, while retirees are told to settle in and endure a certain decline into frailty, chronic pain, and an early grave.
Worse, few doctors understand why this is happening. They blame genetics and recommend low-fat, low-salt diets. Yet as more and more patients end up on operating tables or pass away before their time from avoidable illnesses, it’s obvious we are doing something wrong.
Incredibly, eight of the top ten causes of death in America are the result of metabolic syndrome. “Metabolic syndrome” is a fancy medical term that refers to a combination of obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure, and it increases your risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and strokes. Studies have shown that 88% of American adults have such bad health that they are at risk of metabolic syndrome.
Metabolic syndrome is almost always the result of poor lifestyle choices, which means eight of the top 10 causes of deaths are preventable.
By making the appropriate lifestyle choices to reduce your risk of metabolic syndrome, you’ll achieve a level of health that most other people can only dream of. Your blood panels will show ideal numbers and you’ll fit into smaller jeans again. Other side effects include more energy, better sleep, and higher motivation.
If you’ve struggled with your health, I get it. It seems like no medical professional can give a straight answer on what’s causing the issues or how best to fix them. Fad diets give you results for a month and then a plateau (or yo-yo). You may gain back the weight you lost, feel worse, then wonder what’s the point of trying.
Doctors are quick to tell people to swallow fistfuls of expensive medication every day for the rest of your life. Many people go bankrupt just trying to stay alive.
It doesn’t have to be this way. There’s a straightforward fix that can address all your health concerns, put you into the small minority of metabolically healthy people, and give you the best quality of life for decades to come.
Imagine if you could live ten to twenty years longer than the average lifespan and enjoy those years.
Ovadia Heart Health can help you embrace this future."
