Salt, Saturated Fat & Silent Damage: The Hidden Health Risks Around You

On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with a discussion on eating fast food, what happens if you live near a fast food outlet without actually ever eating, and what a lifestyle of high salt-intake, high alcohol intake and high rates of saturated fat do to the longevity of your life. Additionally, the diet discussed also weakens the heart so that the heart doesn’t pump as well, raising your risk of cardiovascular event, as well as colon cancer. Then, the conversation shifts to continuing cases of long-COVID, and why some people seem more likely to experience prolonged symptoms as opposed to others. Doug and Dr. Ken also address listener questions. This week’s discussion includes Crohn’s Disease, what it is, symptoms that come with it, and good news of an immune suppressant drug helping ease symptoms in patients in contrast to conventional therapy. Another question pertains to an increase in people being hard of hearing, but why there seems to be so much pushback in people refusing to wear hearing aids. There are also studies showing young children can be damaging their hearing at a younger age due to how loud the volume is of kids wearing headphone and ear buds when listening to music. Website: GoodDayHealthShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks
