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!
