Instead of Quick Tips 4 U

As  most of you know, I have been researching healthy foods to combat some of the things causing my heart problems and had recently learned I have a high inflammatory situation in my body.  I learned this by having a c reactive protein blood test done.

One of the best articles I've come across that incorporates what I've learned after extensive researching is below from Josef Klein's heart healthy natural newsletter.  I'm not affiliated with this writer and recommend the site because of the excellent information.

Ways that can protect your heart from unnecessary stress:

• Improve your fatty acids profile for preventing blood clotting. "Good" fats also contribute to reducing cholesterol, lower blood pressure, enhance brain functions and heart health.
  
  
• Consume more extra virgin olive oil, walnuts and almonds, seeds, omega-3 fatty acids from salmon, sardines, herrings and wheat germ have shown to improve fatty acid profiles naturally.
• Eat more celery, oats, nuts, whole grains, beans and lentils to provide fiber known to reduce cholesterol and blood pressure.
• If possible include lots of onions and garlic in your diet. They have antiviral and antibacterial properties to reduce the risk for heart disease.
• Eat a lot more plant-based foods like green leafy vegetables, fresh fruits, and teas because they contain antioxidants. They prevent destructive free radicals from damaging every cell in your body.
• Make regular use of ginger and turmeric. These are powerful anti-inflammatory agents to protect your arteries and blood vessels.

Always be sure to consult with your health care practitioner to see if these ideas are right for you.  Consider working with a Naturopathic (a doctor who goes to medical school with a stronger focus in preventative health) or doctors using an integrative more Holistic approach.
