The Average Age of a Heart Attack Falls to 60 – Guess Why?
For the first time in generations, the average age of people suffering severe heart attacks have fallen – from 64-years-old to 60-years-old.
The culprit? Probably the massive increase in obesity and diabetes.
In short, younger and fatter Americans are falling victim to life-threatening heart attacks at a much higher rate.

How can you avoid becoming a part of the heart attack statistics? Do five things:
- Don’t smoke,
- maintain a good weight,
- good blood sugars,
- a good cholesterol profile (high HDL, low triglycerides)
- and a good blood pressure.
A low-carb diet can help you with all of it, except the smoking part.

OBESITY DOES NOT CAUSE METABOLIC DISEASES BUT RATHER IS A SYMPTOM OF METABOLIC DISEASES! If you don't understand that, then you don't understand the difference between correlation and causation. Obesity is only unhealthy if it is causing joint or back pain, otherwise it is a cosmetic issue.
Stop lying about obesity, please.
