Heart health isn’t just about preventing heart attacks; it’s a crystal ball for your future well-being. A recent review of nearly 500 studies found that heart health reduces risk of dementia by 86 percent, kidney disease by 62 percent, and cancer by 20 percent. Each additional heart-healthy habit also cuts the risk of depression by 10 percent.
The findings indicate that keeping a healthy heart puts you on a path to better health from head to toe, Dr. Stacey E. Rosen, president of the American Heart Association (AHA) and senior vice president of women’s health at Northwell Health, told The Epoch Times.
