Researchers at the Sheffield Teaching Hospital\u2019s NHS Foundation Trust and the University of Sheffield have completed a study that spells out the risk in quite scary numbers.<\/p>\n
Since one in five adults still do this, we must hammer home the point of this study.<\/p>\n
Yes, if you do this ONE thing, you\u2019re more than 800% more likely to suffer a heart attack and\/or stroke. <\/p>\n
Not only this, it\u2019ll happen 10 years earlier than it will for the average person.<\/p>\n
Researchers examined the health information of 1,727 people who received treatment for heart attacks at South Yorkshire\u2019s regional specialist cardiothoracic center.<\/p>\n
The scientists analyzed patient information and in comparing smokers to non-smokers, discovered the following:<\/p>\n
1. Smokers younger than 50 were 8.47 times more likely to suffer a heart attack.<\/p>\n
2. Smokers between ages 50 and 65 were 5.2 times more likely to suffer a heart attack, and those over 65 were 3.1 times more likely.<\/p>\n
3. Current smokers were 10\u201311 years younger than former smokers or non-smokers when the heart attack struck.<\/p>\n
4. Smokers were twice as likely to have a history of coronary artery disease (blocked arteries).<\/p>\n
5. Smokers were three times more likely to die from peripheral vascular disease.<\/p>\n
Since heart attacks are the most common cause of death worldwide, especially for people over 60, you must tackle the real underlying cause of heart attacks by cutting out this one ingredient you\u2019re unknowingly consuming\u2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
