Do THIS to STOP Heart Attack and Stroke

If you’re over 50, you probably already know you need to watch your triglycerides.
These unhealthy blood fats can send your risk of heart attack and stroke through the roof.
But your mainstream doc won’t help you get them down.
He’ll just push risky drugs… impossible diets… and workout plans that would make a Navy SEAL frown.
Luckily, there’s an easier way to make your triglycerides PLUNGE.
And all you have to do is one simple thing.
I’m talking about kicking the soda habit.
Researchers from Tufts University in Massachusetts studied the soda consumption of almost 6,000 adults for 12 years.
At the end, they found that drinking just one sugary drink a day in middle age dramatically increased the risk of heart attack or stroke.
And daily drinkers were twice as likely to have low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or “good” cholesterol levels.
Drinking more than 12 ounces sugar beverages per day means you are 53 percent more likely to have high triglycerides and a 98 more likely to have low HDL (you want your HDLs to be high).
High triglycerides and low HDL’s are a telltale sign of dyslipidemia. This condition increases your risk of blood clots that cut off blood supply to the heart or brain… causing heart attack and stroke.
In a shocking statement, the researchers said, “our findings contribute to the mounting evidence that sugary drinks should be avoided to help maintain long-term health.” I never thought I’d hear that from mainstream medicine.
This study is not alone. Numerous studies tie our sugar addiction to poor health.
Even the American Heart Association now recommends people eliminate sugary drinks!
So ditch the soda and other sugary drinks.
Instead, opt for unsweetened iced tea or a glass of cold, refreshing water.
