Knowing that one out of two people right now will develop heart disease in our country, we need to think and do things outside of the box compared to what every other person in America is doing. If we don’t, then we can end up in the same boat as everyone else that has developed heart disease. If you have some form of heart disease right now, know that every day is a new day to reverse it! Research shows that most chronic diseases are due to lifestyle and how well your body is communicating on the inside.
In order to prevent dis-ease from ever building in your body, there are a few things to consider. Of course, make sure that you have the neurological impulses reaching your heart without any interference. If you know anyone that hasn’t gotten checked yet, make them an appointment today. Once that is established, take a look at what you consume daily. An overabundance of foods derived from animals that are not grass fed/hormone free/antibiotic free/full of fat can turn your arteries into sludge. Meat isn’t necessarily bad for you; but if you eat too much of it, it can become unhealthy for your arteries. The sludge in food from animals (saturated fat and cholesterol) is like molasses in your arteries. It builds up in your arteries and blood vessels over time, promoting diseases like cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and hardening of the arteries. Think about the drippings from meat that you cook. The next day when you go to have leftovers, what do you see? If you let it sit, there are droppings that solidify, and this is what is lying in your arteries, blood vessels and intestines. This is why all the drugs in the world cannot prevent a heart attack if you continue to ingest all of this sludge.
It is critical for you body to eat enough cleansing foods to help keep your arteries clear and clean. Look for foods that have fiber in them. Fiber is like a scrub brush to your intestines and other insides. A smoothie is a great way to get fiber fast into your system on a daily basis. Some foods that also promote healthy arteries include turmeric, oranges, pomegranate, broccoli, white fish, almonds, olive oil, cinnamon, tea, watermelon, spinach, tomatoes, beans, apples, grapefruit and garlic.
You do not want to wait for crisis to begin taking care of your body. True health begins the day you are born until your very last breath. As Jim Rohn said, “Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.”
