0:11.6	Welcome to The Model Health Show. This is Fitness and Nutrition Expert, Sean Stevenson,
0:15.1	and I'm so grateful for you tuning in with me today. This is an episode on the heart.
0:21.3	It's obviously one of the most important organs in our bodies, but the degree to which we
0:27.6	understand the human heart and all the things that is connected to is still covered in a lot of
0:33.8	mystery and it's also something that's wildly misunderstood. Now, we have a couple of big problems

1:46.8	is actually the most common type of heart disease, which kills about 366,000 people every single year.
1:53.3	Now in coronary heart disease, the arteries carrying blood to the heart become lined with plaque.
2:00.0	And this plaque causes the arteries to narrow so that less oxygen is actually able to reach the heart
