According to the CDC, 1 in every 5 deaths in the U.S. is due to heart disease. While there are many factors that play into heart health, a plant-based diet can decrease your risk of heart disease by up to 25%. Factoring in exercise, stress reduction, and good sleep habits can decrease the risk even more. On this episode of Line One, host Dr. Jillian Woodruff and her guests discuss the benefits of a plant-based diet and naturopathic medicine.
