Star Jones Calls Cardiovascular disease Awareness Her 'Entire Life's Work' VIDEO,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Star Jones knows how to put up a fight. She's battled critics and colleagues and reality show nemeses,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so when it comes to heart disease,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she isn't backing down either.
Nearly two years since she underwent cardiac surgery as a follow-up to some procedure she'd to get rid of a thoracic tumor, Jones sat down with celebrity stylist Phillip Bloch to go over what lengths her heart health journey originates.
"I'd beaten obesity. I took it on while watching entire world and also got probably more criticism than anybody could ever get for actually losing weight," she says. But despite her efforts to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including exercising and practicing portion control, Jones was told she had the first signs of heart disease -- difficulty breathing, heart palpitations and fatigue,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to become exact.
"With those words, 'Star you need open heart surgery," I became one of the an incredible number of Americans who suffers from cardiovascular disease,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," she says. "I become one of millions of Americans who are suffering from the number one killer in America. And when you are looking at African Americans and women, it beats the next four reasons for death combined."
That reality, Jones says,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is why she's dedicating her "entire life's work" to raising awareness about the disease and also to keeping from the a lot more than 150 pounds she lost due to gastic bypass surgery in 2003.
"This is the healthiest I've ever been during my life,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," she says. "Once you get your weight under control, you start to even expose what other issues you have. I truly think that had I not chosen to have weight loss surgery and therefore reduce my girth,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I'd not have been able to resist open heart surgery,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," she adds.
While Jones reflects about the advances she's produced in battling her very own cardiovascular disease risks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the medical community continues to make strides of its own. Listed here are eight information about heart health which have surfaced since last year's American Heart Month.
