Keeping Your Heart Healthy

Heart attacks kill almost a million Americans a year — not to mention those who die from strokes (more than 160,000 in 2002). The latest data shows that over 64 million Americans suffer from some form of cardiovascular disease — and 39 million of them are age 65 or younger. Sadly, more and more men in their 20s and 30s are dying from what used to be a disease of the elderly.
