Heart Disease - Tumblr Posts
(Heart disease /is/ caused by fat, specifically saturated animal fats. And inflammation is also often caused by consuming animal products, as well as food high in salt, oil, and sugar. The connective tissue is also very important in body-wide health (to anybody reading this, I highly suggest you check out The MELT Method (created by Sue Hitzman))) But the amount of sleep you get is a huge huge factor in how your body functions and it's not talked about enough.
