Eating a Healthful Diet Lowers Risk of Repeat Heart Attack or Stroke

All to often people rely too heavily on medication alone to treat disease.  It has previously been shown that consuming a healthful diet and exercising in addition to taking cholesterol medication can significantly reduce risk of heart disease as compared to taking medication alone.  More recently a large study published in the American Heart Association’s medical journal, Circulation, looked at people with an established history of disease and found that those who ate the most healthful diets had a significantly reduced risk of dying from a repeat heart attack or stroke compared with those who consumed the least healthful diets.

Here is a link to an article in the Wall Street Journal covering the study: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323401904578157410574243702.html
