Naturopathic Treatments For Cardiovascular Health
Is your heart as healthy as it should be?
Your heart is the engine that makes your cardiovascular system run.
Without it, your body wouldn’t be able to transport nutrients, hormones, or antibodies to the various places where it’s needed. If it stops even for a moment, it can have deadly consequences.
Cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of death in Canada. Meanwhile, a strong heart and clean arteries can be one of the greatest indicators of optimal health.
According to the Heart & Stroke Foundation , 90% of Canadians have at least one risk factor for heart disease.
However, naturopathic medicine can help. Dr. Pat offers natural solutions to help keep your cardiovascular system strong.
