Health Tips On Food To Prevent Heart Disease

The factors in heart attack are numerous and include smoking and tobacco use, alcohol consumption, chronic dehydration, poor diet, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, lack of exercise, and stress.

Beginning with food, a major step toward helping to prevent heart attacks, hardening of the arteries and a wide variety of other blood-vessel diseases is to cut out animal fats and foods fried in animal fats from your diet. On the other hand, lean red meats, especially if not overcooked, can actually be beneficial in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, as they contain many essential nutrients that are not as widely available in other foods. It’s better to bake, broil, or steam your foods and always avoid overcooking. Another essential element to keep your body in good health is to keep your body chemistry alkaline which I will be posting some health tips in the next post.
