" Heart Healthy Foods YOURChance for Better Health " could be sunk to the bottom of the sea, it would be all the better for mankind and all the worse for the fishes." Oliver Wendell Holmes Important: Before going for diet rich in saturated fats contact holistic therapist or nutritionist and make all of necessary tests to make sure that this diet is safe for you and make sure that you don't have any cardiovascular problems. Adaptation to saturated fat rich diet (it maybe 20 grams or more than 100 grams of SFA [saturated fatty acids] per day) should be gradual and should be stretched from eight to sixteen weeks at least! The reason for that is very simple; rich saturated fat diet may "thicken" your blood.If your arteries are already attacked by disease it can be risky without professional help. That is why adaptation must be made slowly and step by step with proper supervision.
This is regarding especially older and ill people. If you are young or older but you are healthy (You think that you are healthy) then it will be enough to undergo basic tests but like
always, no one knows your organisms better than you do so the decision is yours.
Keep this in mind please. Two things are clear here: heart healthy foods is what your body need, and Doctors and especially (GPs - general practitioners) are not trained to use NUTRITION as a CURE for Diseases. (Mainly they are trained to use DRUGS as a kind of "cure") They are not trained to use DIET as a Cure for Diseases also. Keep in mind that DIET mean LIFESTYLE. NUTRITION and LIFESTYLE are NOT main parts of conventional medical studies. Because of these facts you may have trouble in finding experienced and well educated doctor with good knowledge of nutrition as a cure for diseases. Make good investigation before you will choose one. Use internet.
![]() "Heart healthy foods are the only one natural and effective way to keep your heart healthy."Do you really believe that drugs are able to cure health related problems like coronary heart disease and others? If your answer is yes then keep reading. How can some manmade drug fix sick heart or artery in only few months if process of destruction lasted for years? Of course this is impossible.
Drugs are not miracle pills, they may help in some cases but heart healthy foods should be first.
Heart is like any other organ in our body that must be kept healthy and the best way to do that is to supply it with all the necessary nutrients.
Before you will decide to take prescribed drugs you must take care about your diet first.
Omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial heart healthy food nutrients but they are good for whole your organism as well.
For example sick liver can (and probably will later or sooner) cause many heart related problems or skin problems. This is scientifically proven fact.
![]() You have to know that there is no one or few causes of heart diseases. Bad condition of heart is caused by hundreds of factors and majority of them are not exactly known yet.
Smoking of cigarettes, excessive consumption of alcohol and carbohydrates, especially sweets and lack of physical
activity and proper rest are only few of factors but they are not the most important ones.
Even if you are smoking cigarettes and drinking lots of alcohols but have healthy diet based on healthy foods, you will be in better shape than someone who is abstinent but
has unhealthy diet!
But if you do smoking then heart healthy foods will surely lower risk of developing one of modern killer diseases.
It is very simple and uncomplicated. First of all you should take a look at
healthy foods list section which will give you all necessary information
about healthy and natural foods.
You need good amount of rest as well. If you are working too much then cut your hours, no excuses at this point.
That is why now I will show you how hard it can be to find reliable information about heart healthy foods if you are ordinary person who is not nutrition professional on enthusiast.
Go to Heart Healthy RecipesTruth about Heart Healthy FoodsI am going to show you the truth about heart healthy foods on an article example. Article is from WebMD internet service, one of the biggest and most popular internet web sites about human health. I even like this website because they have lots of good information but they have lots of poor info as well.
The worst thing is that this misleading information can be dangerous for our health.
He will probably just take "everything as it is" without questioning. That is why information provided to him must be of highest value.
![]() It's time to show you parts of the article. Article is from WebMD web service and is about Heart healthy Foods entitled "25 Top Heart-Healthy Foods". WebMD wrote it down together with the help of nutrition experts from The Cleveland Clinic and the American Dietetic Association. They wrote: "we've put together a list of the "best of the best" heart-healthy foods".
Ok, so now we are going to check what they have to say about heart healthy foods.
If they are specialists tehy should know that: "Grilled salmon with a yummy rub or marinade" has no Omega-3 at all. Do you want to know why? Of course you do.
Here is the answer; high heat and light will completely destroy omega-3 fatty acids.
If you want to take some health benefits from fatty fish like salmon then eat it raw as a sushi for example and / or take omega-3 supplements.
I know that what I just said may sounds cruel to you but this is true and you should know about it.
Correct supplementation is necessary even if you eat everything raw and organic. Nutritional value of modern foods are worse than those from 10000 BC. Our air and water are polluted and soil is short in minerals. At this moment for most of us there is no way to get high value nutritional foods in our present world.
That is why correct supplementation is necessary, heart healthy foods alone may be not enough these days. If you can buy only organic and grass fed meat, eggs atc.
Good quality supplements are perfect sources of nutrients and vital part of diet for people living in XXI century. As long as your modern world looks like today
(cars, long hours of work, polluted air, water and soil, stress, lack of time for relaxation) you have to use supplements to fill up your growing for nutrients needs.
One day loaded with more stress (modern unhealthy stress) than usualy can wipe out even your weekly supply of some of vitamins and minerals.
This is a deadly process for your whole body, including your heart. I hope that you can see the big picture.
Flaxseed omega-3 is highly reactive and exposure to the light or heat will form very dangerous chemical molecules. Those molecules are very toxic to your body. They are so reactive that are able to easily kill even cancer cells (but this is different story. Read about Budwig Anti Cancer Protocol).
If you are going to eat muffin or cookie with flaxseed, then be prepared for big damage to your organism. Don't expose ground flaxseeds to the light or heat because if you do this
then the only thing you can do with it is to put it into rubbish bag.
Very poor source of omega-3 fatty acids and like salmon and flaxseed exposed to the light or heat will turn into unhealthy chemicals.
If you need vitamins and minerals eat green vegetables, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, fish oil, nuts and meat organs like liver, heart or kidneys.
Otherwise beans are not very well absorbed by your body. Any vegetables which need to be cooked long time before consumption are in fact poor heart healthy foods.
I agree in 99% with this. Why only 99% and not 100%? Because you should use fatty yogurt or even better kefir! Kefir contains very healthy friendly bacteria (healthier than yogurt's bacteria).
If you like yogurt, eat it only when it's natural and full fat. "Light" yogurt is a manmade invention and has nothing to do with nature and health.
Nuts are heart healthy foods and as long as they are raw they are good source of fat, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins and proteins.
If you like sweets then you can eat some fresh fruit's dessert with nuts and cream once or twice a week. If you have to eat cookies eat only those with
low sugar amount and with seeds; for example sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
You have to eat properly to get good health results. Wine especially dry red wine is a good source of heart healthy resveratrol. Heart healthy food with heart healthy red wine is good
recipe for long and disease-free life.
Canned tuna is the biggest crap you can buy! I know that it is cheap but there are many healthier foods for this price. Process of canning is the worst possible method of food conservation. Canned tuna is loaded with very toxic mercury what makes it not very healthy for your heart.
So be careful with this food. It's much better to buy fresh piece of tuna and cook it on low heat with addition of water with herbs.
Fermented tofu is the only tofu which can be called healthy because process of fermentation is killing all of toxic soy chemicals and enzymes inhibitors.
The only healthy soy products that you can safely eat are fermented products (fermented tofu for example).
Berry fruits are very healthy and you should eat lots of them if you can. Remember that berry fruits are seasonal foods so eat them when it's good time for that.
If you live in Germany for example then eat berries only when it's season for it. Naturally, winter means no berry fruits at all so don't try to
trick Mother Nature and wait for berries until next summer (or use dried berries).
Lemon juice will make it more digestible. Don't forget about some kind of fat when you eat greens. Vitamins A, D, E and K are fat soluble so for proper ingestion they need fat.
Broccolis are heart healthy foods as well but don't overcook them to keep all of beneficial nutrients on place.
Try to avoid all of manmade foods.
There is no place for mistakes and all of information must be 100% correct. Drugs will not make one healthy if his diet is wrong.
"So How Heart Healthy Diet Should Really Look? "First of all it must be diet based only on natural and healthy foods. It must provide you with all of necessary nutrients and it must give you these nutrients in the most possible safe way.
Salmon is a good choice but there is no big deference between cooked salmon and cooked beef stew. As I said before cooking is destroying Omega-3 fatty acids.
When you have mood for cooked salmon then eat it cooked and take supplements. If you want it raw than eat sushi and take supplements as well; very simple.
![]() For people with heart related problems Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for good health. They are part of healthy diet and you should supplement it. Even if you are healthy at this moment you have to supplement Omega-3.
These days foods are really poor in nutrients. Your life is overloaded with stress which in fact is one of major causes of cardiovascular problems.
Your diet should not be directed into only one path; you have to diversify.
You should eat fish, red meat (yes red meat is a heart healthy food), poultry, berry fruits, game meat, lots of eggs and good and healthy fats like butter, olive oil,
beef suet and coconut oil.
There is no better and healthier source of proteins and fat than good piece of beef or lamb. Cholesterol is a very important part of your body and
your heart and the rest of your organs need it to stay healthy.
Do you know what real problem is? That problem is called carbohydrates. We humans are not designed to eat carbohydrates as a source of energy. Our great grandparents ate lots of butter (more than half of it is a pure saturated fat), they ate fatty meats, eggs and fats as well and they were healthier than we are.
It is scientifically proven that cholesterol molecule found in blocked arteries is formed from part of carbohydrates which you digesting every day. It is not cholesterol from eggs
or red meat!
Anyway lets comeback to heart healthy foods. I think that a very good idea is to add some goose fat to your diet.
Cholesterol and saturated fats are necessary for hormones and coenzymes production and since coenzyme Q-10 is extremely important for heart cells you need good amount of these two unpopular foods.
Vitamins A, D and K are found especially in animal fats. Those three vitamins are so important for integrity of your body that lack of only one of them will lead you to serious trouble.
If you don't believe me just go back to WebMD article with my comments on it.
![]() There is no magic or secret in French diet. They simply eat more saturated fat than the rest of the world. Same thing goes with Japanese people. Scientific facts are very clear in this case. Read Malcolm Kendrick's book "Great Cholesterol Con" to get Tones of scientific data on this subject. You can get this book here).
More info you will find in healthy diet section.
Berries are loaded with vitamin C, bioflavonoid and other chemicals which have strong anti inflammatory properties.
This is very important information for us because inflammation is a necessary factor for disease development.
They are full of nutrients, they are tasty and very beneficial for proper digestion. It is proved that green vegetables has protective properties against
vascular and heart related problems.
Diets poor in green vegetables and too rich in carbohydrates are probably responsible for high levels of Homocysteine.
Homocysteine is sign of serious cardiovascular problems. Make sure that you eat superior portion of green vegetables every day. It is good and safe practice.
Greens are 100% heart healthy foods. To make sure that you are in good shape ask holistic therapist for Homocysteine test.
![]() Next on our heart healthy foods list is water. Water is not a food in popular meaning but it is still one of the two most important for human nutrients. Meat and water are those two important nutrients. Anyway coming back to water, you should drink lots of it especially if your health isn't the best. With no water there is no life. You need water for your metabolism to work properly.
Many people can't lose weight because of permanent dehydration.
If you are exercising regularly and more than six hours per week you should drink more than eight glasses of water a day.
Just remember about water especially when you are thinking about something to eat. Most of the times you are not hungry, you are just simply thirsty.
If you like to cook (and you should because only then you know what you really eat) go for interesting recipes to heart
healthy recipes section where you will find guidelines and new ideas for preparation of heart healthy foods.
Of course you can use prescribed drugs but you have to take care about your diet first. I'm not a fun of drugs at all but sometimes in some cases drugs are necessary to save life but those are rare cases.
I know about people who become healthy after changing their eating habits and after proper supplementation of vitamin C, Omega-3, coenzyme Q-10 and heavy Metabolic Enzymes.
There are many people who don't want you to know the truth because they use it to make huge amounts of money.
Health is a big business these days so any good and valuable information is hidden very deep in not many heads who know what is going on here.
Diet and supplementation is more important than drugs.
Remember this and everything will be ok.

To Be Vegetarian, or Not to Be?This is one of hottest questions these days. Vegetarianisms is now very popular, many people strongly believe that this is good way to go. But vegetarianism is not encoded in our genes and we will never achieve optimal health and life span if our prime food will come only from plant world.There is no point to stop eating of meats and animal fats. Of course we should eat only free range and organic meats if possible (better mineral and vitamin content). Red meat, game meat, poultry and fish and any other animal products are rich in minerals, vitamins, coenzymes and proteins. If you want to be healthy and live long and happy life meat should be on your plate at least two times a week. Of course there are some vegetarians in good shape but nothing is better than red meat proteins, coenzymes and minerals. Weston Price while travelling around the world noticed that in areas where meat was quite easily available people were much healthier, bigger and stronger than in other more veggie areas. That is fact from real life, not from laboratory. Healthy MeatOur human evolution started about 7 million years ago and through all these years we were omnivores, plant and meat eaters. In general we can say that our main food was meat (fatty and lean), fish, many greens and roots, some ripe and sour fruits (not those sweet modern fruits loaded with sugars) and insects. Seven million years of meat eating is very long time, we evolved on meat and fats!Healthy meat is the best source of high quality proteinsStay Well Informed
