Most people are completely unaware that it it entirely possible to not only reduce your risk of heart disease, but to reverse heart disease completely, if you make the right choices necessary. Medications and surgeries are all well and good, and do provide some benefit. However most folks still end up dying a premature death due to heart disease, because of either complications with the surgeries, or because they didn’t make the effort to change their lifestyle and prevent heart disease in the first place.
It has been shown that to reverse heart disease, you need to lower cholesterol and take a highly aggressive approach to changing your diet and flood your body with vital nutrition. The many benefits of fish oil can also strengthen cardiovascular function and help keep your heart healthy. Eating the standard diet most American gravitate to will kill you, regardless of how much you try to think otherwise.
If you want to reverse heart disease, you can’t just eat a low fat diet and hope for the best. You need to take steps to learn which foods will nourish your body in the best way possible. There are several books on the subject of nutrition and heart disease I am sure, but one I highly recommend is Dr Fuhrman’s Eat to Live. Not only does he explain everything down to the last detail, but his diet recommendations have been shown to lower blood cholesterol levels even more effectively than typical medications prescribed for just such a purpose.
Studies have shown that subjects consuming a diet that is primarily plant based, such as Eat to Live, combined with therapies that will lower cholesterol, have shown that they can both reverse heart disease and prevent a future heart attack. That is powerful medicine in my book and warrants more investigation. You can reverse heart disease and save your life if you make the commitment to do so.
