Are Holiday Heart Attacks on Your Wish List?
How to Celebrate Without Killing Yourself

Does your holiday wish list include, “prevent a heart attack”? You may want to pencil it in just under “deck the halls”! Coal in your stocking will seem like a good time if yours is one of the “holiday heart attacks”—a phrase that describes the eerie 33% rise in heart attack deaths that occurs between December and January. Seriously though, numerous research studies have shown that this dramatic increase in heart attacks is real, noteworthy throughout the US, and particularly pronounced in the South.

While America’s excessive consumption of “hyperpalatable” foods—foods laden with salt, sugar and fat—is our nemesis throughout the year, the holiday season usually includes the additional challenges of stress, colder weather and social obligations. Although overindulgence is often fueled by emotional, social and financial holiday stress, we also explode with the pressure cooker combination of increased opportunity, more tempting choices and over-using “the holidays” as our 2 month excuse.

Registered dietitians at the Rice Diet Program prepare participants to enjoy all that the holidays have to offer, while maintaining their waistline and heartbeat. The world renowned Rice Diet Program, a 72-year-old weight loss and heart disease reversal clinic, uses a whole foods, no salt added diet to prevent and reverse heart disease with the most dramatic results ever documented.
