• For a healthy heart and lowering the risk of a heart attack, adopt a diet along these lines: for oils and fats take olive oil or canola oil, for protein: legumes and lentils, baked or steamed fish, low-fat dairy products such as yogurt and cheese, for whole grains: brown rice, whole-wheat flour, whole-grain bread, oatmeal and high-fiber cereal. Also include fresh fruits and vegetables. A Harvard research found that people who ate at least 5 servings a day of fruits and vegetables had a 28% lower risk of heart disease than people who ate less than 1.5 servings per day.
• For weak or enlarged heart, eat steamed asparagus as part of the diet, or take fresh asparagus juice with 1 teaspoon honey 3x daily.
• Eat apples regularly with a little honey as a heart tonic, or take apple jam.
• Eat ripe bananas regularly.
• Consume 100gms of onion a day, or 1 teaspoon raw onion juice first thing in the morning to oxidize excess cholesterol hence normalizing the percentage of blood cholesterol.
• Replace white sugar (sucrose) with honey. Honey tones up the heart, improves the circulation and relieves cardiac pain and palpitation of the heart. Take 1 tablespoon daily after food.
• Consume lecithin in the form unrefined raw, crude vegetable oils, seeds and grains to help prevent fatty deposits in arteries.
• Avoid mixing coffee with smoking as the action is found to temporarily increase stiffness in the aorta - the main artery carrying blood from the heart to the rest of the body, more than smoking or caffein alone. Also avoid white flour products including white bread, sweets, chocolates, canned foods in syrup, soft drinks, squashes, all hard fats of animal origin such as butter, cream and fatty meats, tea, coffee, alcohol and tobacco. Minimal sugar and salt should be taken for optimum heart health.
