According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular disease is the number one killer in the world… claiming one in three deaths in America alone. For perspective, that’s more deaths than every form of cancer combined.
Heart health is one of the few places both Western medical practitioners and Eastern agree: stress and anxiety are major factors in heart disease.
In essence, the more stressed out, anxious, and overwhelmed you are, the higher your risk.
And yes, while family history, age, and environmental elements can put you at a higher risk of heart disease… there are many factors that are within your control.
Eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, avoiding smoking, and curbing excessive drinking all help reduce your risk of heart disease.
But the easiest way to reduce (or even eliminate) your risk is to actively release stress, anxiety, and stuck or unexpressed emotions. This keeps your inner emotional state calm, relaxed, and at peace, so your heart stays healthy, nourished, and whole.
Can you imagine how relaxed, open, and peaceful you’d feel with a healthy heart?
