Heart Disease & My Peace Of Mind

It turns out no matter how hard we exercise and diet, sometimes we are inheritantly predisposes to certain health problems. I recently found out I may be at risk for peripheral artery disease (PAD). I, of course, had no clue what it was or what the risk factors were. When I found out that it can lead to stroke I became concerned. But I stopped myself from freaking out and instead started education myself.

It's amazing how educating yourself can make a difference. Last summer I had the opportunity to attend a health festival. I mainly attended because it was free, it was close, and I figured there would be some free stuff handed out. I didn't see much on peripheral artery disease. I did, however, learned about what my heart yearns. At that time I decided to focus on education and exercise.

Since I'm probably not the only person that doesn't know a lot about peripheral artery disease screening check out HealthYes!
