Managing Cholesterol and Understanding the Risk of Statin Medications
(PRWEB) February 19, 2014 -- This Thursday, February 20th at 7pm EST, AlignLife clinics will be hosting a free webinar to educate the community about the dangers of statin medications and a natural approach to the management of cholesterol. An interesting study published in The Lancet looked at the incidence of heart disease in 52 countries and revealed that over 90% of heart disease is preventable by diet and lifestyle modifications.
Dr. Joseph Esposito, CEO of AlignLife, has partnered with the doctors in each of the clinics to provide educational resources for their patients that can be accessed from home. Dr. Esposito says, "Pharmaceutical companies spend billions a year in advertising, if you Google a condition the top results are going to be paid results not necessarily the mass amounts of research explaining the risks of the medications and how to naturally combat bad Cholesterol."
