Press Release Summary: Louisville, KY November 25, 2007--An alarming trend is
emerging in the fight against heart disease. More women under 45 are dying of heart
disease due to clogged arteries, despite the fact that the overall death rate from
heart disease has decreased.

Press Release Body: A study just released by researchers at the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention and Britain\'s University of Liverpool shows the
worrisome trend for women of that age group even though the overall trend is showing
a decrease in deaths related to heart disease. Experts think that increasing rates
of obesity in younger adults, among other factors, are to blame.

Andrea Vogt-Palmer of FitwithAndrea.com says that many risk factors leading to heart
disease, like obesity, are a reflection of our unhealthy lifestyle, along with a
combination of bad diet and lack of exercise. \"If that is true, then it is also true
that you can decrease the risk of heart disease, or even early death, by improving
your eating habits and increasing your daily physical activity,\" Vogt-Palmer says.

According to the American Heart Association and Center for Disease Control and
Prevention, the number one killer for men and women is heart disease, which accounts
for about 700,000 deaths each year, which is about 29% of all US deaths.

The CDC recommends that maintaining a healthy weight by eating an overall healthy
diet in combination with regular physical activity (at least 30 minutes on most days
of the week) can help lower your blood pressure and cholesterol levels and prevent
obesity, diabetes, heart disease and stroke.

Vogt-Palmer points out that the American College of Sports Medicine and the American
Heart Association released new guidelines encouraging Americans of any age to
strength-train at least twice a week on top of a regular cardio workout to build a
healthier body. It is recommended that adults perform eight to twelve repetitions
of eight to ten exercises using appropriate weight for their individual fitness
level. By exercising all major muscle groups (arms, shoulders, chest, back, upper
legs and lower legs) regularly, we also prevent losing muscle mass and gaining fat
as we age.

FitwithAndrea.com is committed to showing how you can transform to a healthy
lifestyle by creating healthy eating habits, increasing physical activity,
