“For 15 years, I’ve put basketball first and now, it’s time to put my health and family first.”
After a cardiac incident last month, LaMarcus Aldridge announced that he is retiring from the game after 15 years in the NBA.
Often times, athleticism is associated with being healthy. As we mentioned before, heart related death is the leading cause of death worldwide for all groups including athletes. The rate of death is higher for those of African decent.
In short, heart related deaths are known to be associated with diet and lifestyle. By making a life changes to our diet and lifestyle we can better combat the bigger obstacles in this system. So we are encouraging our supporters to tap in and lock in on heart health to support their overall well being for longevity.
