The Truth About Alcohol and Your Heart: Debunking the French Paradox and Other Myths

This episode is going to be a science heavy one. It's all about alcohol and your heart health. I gave this as a presentation for one of my groups and I just felt it was important to release it on the podcast because cardiovascular disease is the number one killer in the world. There has been a lot of misinformation about how alcohol affects your heart and whether it is good or not. This episode will take a detailed look at alcohol and your cardiovascular system. In this episode you will learn: The purpose of your heart How alcohol affects your heart rate, blood pressure, and cholesterol Why alcohol causes your heart to work harder Debunking the French Paradox The problem with past alcohol and heart health studies What you can do to take care of your heart health And more!
