Avoid Heart Disease

After reading this setion, please for your hearts sake read the section under Myths and Fables entitled Cholesterol Good|bad. You might be surprised,

Don’t smoke. If you find it impossible to quit, at least try to cut back and smoke only additive-free cigarettes. Smokers should avoid polyunsaturated oils (Omega 6’s) at all costs. They increase inflammation. Saturated fats and vitamins A and D are particularly protective of the lungs.

Exercise regularly but you needn’t overdo. A brisk daily walk, 10 minutes on the trampoline, swimming, and sports are all appropriate.

Avoid being overweight by eating nutrient-dense foods and keeping sweets to a minimum, but avoid crash dieting.

Don’t work too hard. Counteract stress by doing something that you love to do every day.

During periods of unavoidable hardship or loss, increase consumption of foods rich in protective nutrients.

As much as possible, avoid exposure to fumes, chemicals, pollutants and pesticides.

Avoid all processed foods, foods labeled “low-fat” or that contain polyunsaturated vegetable oils, hydrogenated fats, white flour, refined sugar and additives.

Consume high-quality animal products including a variety of seafood and milk, butter, cheese, eggs, meat, fats and organ meats all from animals raised on green pasture.

Consume a variety of fresh vegetables and fruits, preferably organically grown.

Ensure sufficient mineral intake by using whole dairy products; bone broths; and whole grains, legumes and nuts that have been properly prepared (Soaked) to reduce phytic acid and other factors that block mineral absorption.

Supplement the diet with foods rich in protective factors including small amounts of cod liver oil (vitamins A and D); wheat germ oil (vitamin E); flax oil (omega-3 fatty acids); kelp (iodine); brewer’s yeast (B vitamins); desiccated liver (vitamin B12); rose hip or acerola powder (vitamin C); and coconut oil (antimicrobial fatty acids).

Where the Weston A. Price organization and I disagree is on the need for supplements. They believe everyone can get nutritious foods and therefore do not need supplements. I believe that is impractical in modern society so I add supplement to overcome the deficiencies in the food I can get.
