It's common sense that you need to manage your blood pressure and cholesterol levels to maintain vascular health.

But did you know that there's another factor you need to pay attention to besides blood pressure and cholesterol levels?

It's "vascular inflammation"!

Professor Kwon Joo-sung of the Department of Cardiology at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital will explain how inflammation affects blood vessels,

what's good for reducing vascular inflammation,

and conversely, what's bad for worsening vascular inflammation.

He'll also explain what diets can help reduce inflammation,

and whether vitamin C, known to be good for blood vessels, really helps.
So, stay tuned!
