Can you start by telling us a little about your work at UNC?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr. Ross Simpson:<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019m Ross Simpson, a clinical cardiologist at the University of North Carolina. For me, it\u2019s all about the heart \u2014 and really about preventing heart attacks and strokes before they happen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael Washington:<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen it comes to men\u2019s health, do most of your patients come to you for prevention, or is it usually after something\u2019s already gone wrong?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr. Simpson:<\/strong><br \/>\nUnfortunately, most of the time, it\u2019s after the fact. I do see some men who are very health-conscious, but they\u2019re the minority. The reality is, men are at higher risk than women for heart attacks at a young age.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t know exactly why, but men tend to have heart attacks five to ten years earlier than women. Over a lifetime, the overall rates are similar, but for men, those early events can be devastating. It\u2019s often tied to poor lifestyle choices, unmanaged blood pressure, not taking prescribed medication, and simply not seeing a doctor often enough. In short, men are the vulnerable group here.<\/p>\n<h3>Exercise, Diet, and Lifestyle<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Dr. Simpson:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe most important thing \u2014 for everyone \u2014 is exercise. We\u2019re learning that even modest, consistent activity makes a real difference. It doesn\u2019t mean you have to join a gym or run marathons. It means staying active \u2014 walking, moving, doing things that are appropriate for your age and lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>Next is a sensible diet. You can\u2019t live on red meat alone. Eat your vegetables \u2014 and that\u2019s not a joke. Have balance in your meals. Limit saturated fats, processed foods, and sugar.<\/p>\n<p>And of course, don\u2019t smoke. Smoking changes everything \u2014 it\u2019s one of the most dangerous habits for your heart. Whether it\u2019s cigarettes, cigars, or chewing tobacco, the risk of heart attack goes way up. The good news? If you quit, your risk can return to normal within about two years.<\/p>\n<h3>Genetics and Early Detection<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Dr. Simpson:<\/strong><br \/>\nAnother big factor is genetics \u2014 especially when it comes to cholesterol. If your father or grandfather had a heart attack at a young age, you might have what\u2019s called familial hypercholesterolemia \u2014 a genetic condition that leads to extremely high cholesterol levels.<\/p>\n<p>If your parent had it, you have about a 50% chance of carrying the same gene. The earlier you know, the better. When we catch it early, we can manage it with low doses of medication \u2014 or sometimes just with lifestyle changes. But if it\u2019s not detected until your 40s or 50s, it usually means stronger medicines or even more advanced treatments are needed.<\/p>\n<p>The technology and treatments we have now are amazing \u2014 from statins like Lipitor and Crestor to newer injectable drugs that can dramatically lower bad cholesterol. We can bring LDL levels from over 230 down to 80. It\u2019s really remarkable progress.<\/p>\n<h3>Diet, Triglycerides, and Hidden Risks<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Dr. Simpson:<\/strong><br \/>\nThere\u2019s one more piece people often overlook \u2014 triglycerides. High triglycerides are extremely common, especially among men who work hard, drink a lot of sweet tea or soda, and eat heavy carb-based meals. Sweet drinks are a real problem here in North Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>I always tell patients: don\u2019t drink your carbs. That means cutting back on sweet tea, soda, and sugary drinks. Crackers, chips, pasta, mashed potatoes \u2014 all fine in moderation, but if you\u2019re eating or drinking them constantly, your triglycerides will skyrocket, and you\u2019ll struggle to lose weight.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is, your medications won\u2019t work as well unless your diet is under control. It\u2019s simple: drink water, eat balanced meals, and walk every day \u2014 aim for 6,000 to 10,000 steps. Those small habits can lower your triglycerides, reduce your need for medications, and dramatically improve your heart health.<\/p>\n<h3>A Simple Formula for Heart Health<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Dr. Simpson:<\/strong><br \/>\nAt the end of the day, prevention is simple. Cut out sugary drinks. Drink water. Move your body. You don\u2019t have to overthink it \u2014 walking alone makes a big difference.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to exercise more intensely, that\u2019s even better, but for most people, it starts with small, consistent steps. Use a pedometer or smartwatch to keep track \u2014 let it guide you a little. These small, daily actions really do save lives.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-lg btn-dark oscitas-bootstrap-container\" href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/urology\/mens-health\/outreach\/champions\/#champions\">Other Champions<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ross Simpson, Jr., MD, Ph.D. &#8211; Cardiologist and Professor of Medicine at UNC School of Medicine Video Transcript Michael Washington: Dr. Simpson, thank you for joining us.
