The leading cause of death right now is Cardiovascular Disease and statistics has shown that 1 in 3 will die from Cardiovascular Disease and it has also been the leading cause of death from China since the 1990′s. In fact, cardiovascular disease is the number one killer among women and it kills more women each year than all cancers, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS and malaria combined.

There are a number of factors for the increasing risk of cardiovascular disease, mainly:

1. Obesity
2. Smoking
3. Lack of exercise
4. Excessive drinking
5. Lack of antioxidants
6. Insufficient fiber intake
7. High levels of total cholesterol

According to the World Health Organization, high cholesterol causes around a third of all cardiovascular disease worldwide.

Cardiovascular disease, regardless of heart attack or stroke, is often a “silent killer” with little or no advance warning or symptoms. The first sign of a problem is often death by heart attack or stroke.
