Heart disease is the number one killer across the globe. With almost 30% of patients dying from a heart attack or stroke, understanding how you can prevent heart disease and avoid the risk of sudden cardiac arrest becomes important. The fact that heart disease is reversible without surgery was proven by Dr Dean Ornish 30 years ago. Dr Ornish is a cardiologist in the US and has been reversing heart disease with nutrition, lifestyle and yoga.

This week on Heal and Hearty, host Rachna Chhachhi along with Dr Bhavana Gautam helps you understand how this is possible. They take you through the journey of not only preventing but also reversing heart disease through the eyes of wonder boy Deepak Khera. He was diagnosed with 90% blockages four years ago but decided not to get a bypass surgery done. He went against medical advice, and four years later, at the age of 53, shares his experience with us in this episode.

What changes he made to reduce his alarming level of cholesterol, triglycerides, blockages and is still living a healthy life? If you want to reduce your risk of heart issues, this episode is a must hear!
