Arteries

Posted May 20 2009 10:33pm

A few weeks ago I won a giveaway from Living Healthy in the Real World.  The giveaway included the book The Healthiest Kid in the Neighborhood.   I flipped through it real fast when I got it and saw the above picture.  Thought it was worth sharing, along with this excerpt:

“The medical truism ‘You’re only as healthy as your arteries’ used to be what every practitioner of geriatrics advised senior citizens.  Since the recent findings that coronary artery disease is occuring at a younger and younger age, this advice has also become a favorite of pediatricians.  Studies reveal that over 70 percent of twelve-year-olds already show the beginning stages of hardening of the arteries.” 1

 Something to think about, right?

I’ve heard good things about this book and I look forward to reading it and sharing more about it.
