Bless Your Heart

Season 6 Episode 603

I hear you. Here she goes again, talking about heart health. Well, you’re right; here I go again. With 1 in 5 deaths resulting from heart disease, I’ll talk about it again and again and again. It’s a tough one, but so easy to solve, it’s almost silly. 90% of heart-related diseases are considered preventable if only we would change our food and lifestyles.
