Many people think that heart disease is just a "consequence" of getting old. After all, your heart pumps literally billions of times during an average life span, so one would think that your heart would just get tired and stop after awhile--right? Not so--in different areas of the world known as the Blue Zones, people live into their 100's with heart disease being non-existent. What?? So what does this mean? It means that heart disease may be a choice.
Heart disease is the #1 reason most of our loved ones will die. However, by educating ourselves to make choices to prevent, stop and reverse heart disease, we can end the needless suffering. The latest studes have shown that American children have the first stage of heart disease by age 10--age 10!! How? Let's look at our chidren's diet--McDonald's, chicken fingers, processed macaroni and cheese, goldfish crackers, candy, pizza, etc. The trans fats that comes from processed foods and naturally from meat and dairy, saturated fat found mostly in animal products and junk foods all contribute to this build-up of fatty streaks in the arteries of our children.
Of course, the drug companies love this--let's get everybody on cholesterol-lowering drugs, (statins). As a matter of fact, the cholesterol-lowering drug Lipitor has become the best selling drug of all time, generating more than $140 billion in global sales! U.S. health authorities advocated that this drug should be put into the public water supply like fluoride is. Can you imagine that?? Are you kidding?? Anything for a profit.....
The side effects from statins, in my opinion, are horrible--muscle/joint pain and weakness, increase risk in diabetes and dementia just to name a few--that's what we know of so far--who knows what other side effects will be related to taking these drugs.
There is a much easier way to prevent, stop and reverse heart disease--the answer is at the end of your fork! It is NEVER too late to start eating healthy. The BEST KEPT SECRET IN MEDICINE: when you give your body what it NEEDS, your body will HEAL itself! That's right--your body will HEAL itself! This has been proven repeatedly by people transitioning over to a whole food plant based diet.
What this means is EVERY person has the ability to take back control of their HEALTH! It doesn't matter how much money you have or what kind of health insurance you have--you can take back control of your health with FOOD--real food--not "stuff" in a box, carton, bag, bottle, etc. I'm talking about potatoes, rice, beans, vegetables, fruits, and oatmeal. No, it isn't too expensive to eat this way--potatoes, rice and beans are dirt cheap!
So, if you are ready, I can help you take back control of your health one bite at a time.....the side effect from doing things my way--WEIGHT LOSS!! Finally a side effect EVERYONE WANTS!!
