Traffic Pollution Increases Heart Attack Risk
March 18, 2009
A new German study1 presented at the American Heart Association's 49th Annual Conference on Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention found that in patients who had just had a heart attack they were more then three times as likely to have been in traffic within an hour of the onset of their heart attack.
Many individuals are running their health on the edge of a bad wear and tear trend that sets the stage for cardiovascular problems. This includes high stress, a lack of exercise, excessive periods of fatigue, a noticeable feeling of wear and tear, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, poor diet, and/or a lack of sleep. In other words, the inflammatory handwriting is already on the wall.
Add to this an acute inflammatory trigger and it can be the straw that breaks the camel's back. In this study, it is clear that common yet excess traffic pollution is a significant factor that can tilt a person into a heart attack. The researchers were surprised by the strength of the association.
We already know that too much toxic exposure over the course of a lifetime damages DNA and increases the risk for cancer and many other health problems. Other studies have implicated toxins as another link to heart disease, and this new study builds on previous work.
Do you have adequate toxin-clearing protection for your health?
