Millions of Americans know their cholesterol levels, but the numbers themselves dont measure risk for heart attack or stroke. A key indicator that DOES measure risk is the number of particles which carry cholesterol in the bloodstream. Now, theres a tool developed by LipoScience called the NMR LipoProfile, which tells patients how many of these particles they have. Many former football players are at high risk of heart disease, because they are not as active as they once were and are not watching their diets. Several took part at a screening organized by the Living Heart Foundation, founded by former NFL Quarterback Dr. Archie Roberts. As part of their physical, they learned their particle numbers.

More than 20 million Americans suffer from asthma and an additional 50 million suffer from seasonal allergies. But both are treatable. Asthma is one of the most serious chronic diseases in the U.S. It is a disease of the lungs in which the airways become blocked or narrowed causing breathing difficulty. “Asthma is a serious disease for many people,” says allergist Dr. William Berger. “For many patients a severe allergy attack can be a life threatening event.” “Hay fever” or seasonal “nasal” allergies occur when the immune system overreacts to allergens such as tree pollen, grass and the most common allergen, ragweed. "Hhaving seasonal allergies or asthma doesn't mean you can't enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle outdoors," says Angel Waldron of AAFA. “Allergies and asthma are treatable – you just need to take precautions to minimize the risk of allergic reactions or exposure to environmental asthma triggers and visit your primary doctor or allergist to find the right treatment for you."

The latest nutritional research shows we really are what we eat. Julie Upton, a registered dietitian and communications expert who specializes in nutrition and fitness, explains the science behind a heart healthy diet as well as why it can also help you lose weight. If, for example, you eat fruit or vegetables every 2 to 3 hours, you’ll maximize your disease-fighting ability and lose weight too. Upton also suggests ways to turn recipes into heart healthy options that still taste good. “It’s not low-fat that always wins,” she says. “It’s the right fats. Avocados, for example, are rich in good unsaturated fats and make a great addition to any salad or sandwich.” Upton’s articles on creating balanced diet plans are frequently published in The New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Redbook Prevention and Shape magazine. She has also appeared on The Today Show, The CBS Evening News and ABC World News Tonight.
