Thirty is the New Twenty right?
If this is the case, why do I hear stories about people in their 30's and even some in their 20's dying from Cardiovascular Disease (CVD)! This is not supposed to happen but the truth of the matter is heart disease affects so many people and many of them do not even know it. I am also very concerned with the growing number of cases within the African American community.
If Cardiovascular Disease can happen to someone my age or younger then it can happen to me; especially since my family has a history of high blood pressure.
I decided it was time for me to take action and not just educate myself about heart health but to share awareness and prevention with my family, friends and anyone I can get to listen.
