From: Healthy Diet Podcast Add A Tag Welcome back to the Health Diet Podcast. On this week’s show we cover more information on reversing heart disease from Dr Caldwell B Esselstyn’s book Prevent And Reverse Heart Disease. Show notes: There is so much you can do to live a healthier life and avoid the major diseases that kill most people. Getting your cholesterol below 150 will almost insure that you will not ever have a heart attack. Why would people choose to have radical heart surgery instead of eating a healthy plant based diet? The Women’s Health Initiative study showed that low fat diets made no difference in the overall health of women, until you really look closely at the study. The study by the NIH claimed the diet they fed these women was low fat, even though it was comprised of 29% fat. Of course it didn’t work. The dietary guidelines recommended by the FDA claim that a healthy diet can consist of between 20 to 35% fat. If you consistently eat a diet that is 35% fat, it will kill you. Research shows that if you have a lifetime cholesterol below 150, even if you smoke, drink and have high blood pressure, you won’t get heart disease. Moderation kills. Even after one high fat meal your blood flow can be seriously impaired. Try a new fruit and a new vegetable that you’ve never eaten before and let us know how you like it. We just ordered a new VitaMix and we are so excited to get it because we’ve been through 3 blenders. You can make everything with a VitaMix. It’s the most heavy duty blender on the market.
