The Last Heart Attack

On By Taylor MavingIn InformationalLeave a comment

This past year I started taking a serious interest in the American diet. I began educating myself about how the diet can directly affect your health. During my research I came across a book called “The China Study” by T. Colin Campbell, PhD. This is probably the most important book I will ever read in my life and I highly recommend it to anyone who is concerned about the longevity of their life.

This past weekend I watched an hour-long CNN documentary titled “The last heart attack” hosted by Sanjay Gupta. Gupta investigates whether diet and the latest diagnostic tests are enough to prevent every heart attack. Trust me on this one this documentary is definitely worth an hour of your life. Please let me know what you think!
