The Truth about Red Wine and Heart Disease
Does red wine protect against heart disease? Studies have pointed to the role of alcohol, and red wine in particular, in reducing the incidence of coronary heart disease. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among Americans. Fortunately there are changes you can make in your life to reduce risk.
Come to a FREE presentation, The Truth about Red Wine and Heart Disease, and learn how to manage ones risk factors. Cardiovascular risk factors are conditions that increase the chance that a person will develop heart disease. The greatest risk factors for cardiovascular disease that can be controlled are smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes and high blood cholesterol, but a few are beyond one’s control, family history of heart disease, age, and race.
