[Alert] Do You Have This Heart Disease Trigger?

When it comes to who gets heart disease… and who doesn’t… your mainstream doc will blame the same old things.
Cholesterol… diet… and mostly your bad genes.
But according to research, there’s something else that can TRIGGER this deadly disease.
And it could be affecting your health right now.
Here’s how to stay safe.
If you’ve ever suffered from arthritis, you already know how miserable it is.
But a new study shows that your stiff, achy joints could be the least of your problems.
For the research, scientists at Lund University in Sweden recently tracked the arthritis and heart disease status of 460,000 seniors for 15 years.
At the end, they found that people who had arthritis were significantly more likely to have heart disease and die of a heart attack.
In fact, suffering from this disease for nine years or more can increase your risk of dying prematurely from heart disease by 16 percent!
And there’s a good reason for these results.
You see, arthritis damages your heart in two different ways.
First, it keeps you from exercising. If it is hard to even get out of bed, most people aren’t going to step out the door and go for a long walk.
The second is arthritis causes inflammation in your body. And inflammation is the root cause of heart disease and other chronic diseases.
If you want to keep heart disease away, you have to find a way to exercise and to lower inflammation.
The best way for people with arthritis to exercise is to choose something non-weight baring like riding a bicycle, stationary bicycle, or swimming.
You can lower inflammation by staying away from processed foods, too much sugar, and by taking omega-3 oils, or anti-inflammatory herbs like berberine, Boswellia, and turmeric.
