4 Chapter 1: Getting To The HEART Of The Matter Picture this: you are in your kitchen preparing one of your favorite meals. Out of nowhere, you get a nauseating feeling. You re dizzy. You have tightness in your jaw. You immediately sit, hoping and praying this feeling will subside so you can get back to what you were doing. Your significant other walks into the room and asks you, are you feeling alright? As you re responding, your significant other notices your face goes pale, then turns ashen, and a blue hue surrounds your lips. In that brief moment, you both realize that this could be the end Does this scenario scare you? If not, it should. 15 Foods That KILL Heart Attacks 4

5 Chapter 2: Why You NEVER Want To Have/Survive A Heart Attack Hi, Jim Strong here. The above scenario happened to a relative of mine. And it scared the absolute HELL of out his wife, my mother, and me. You see, the chance that this same situation could happen to you is pretty good. don t lie. In fact, the statistics One out of every FOUR people suffers and dies from a heart attack in this country. That equals out to roughly 600,000 people each year. This gives a new meaning to the term widow maker. So the chance that your heart attack will lead you six feet under pushing up daisies is pretty good. Here s something else to digest: each year, roughly 715,000 people have a heart attack. And, 525,000 of those people will have had their first heart attack, while 190,000 of them will have a second (or even third) heart attack. If those numbers don t scare you, then maybe this will. Heart attacks cause pain. They cause actual death to your heart muscle. It leads to a lifetime of medication use to control things like blood pressure, cholesterol, and heart rate Lifetime medication use that may also cause muscle pain and weakness, toxicity, and other potentially deadly side effects. Now, if you have had heart attack then you know all about your recovery. If you haven t, let me fill you in You could have tremendous pain in your chest from having it ripped open and the blockage rerouted, or from the balloon they inserted into your artery to open it up. Forgot about walking long distances for a while, since you heart will not be able to handle the extra workload. Expect to be weak and forget about having any type of sexual activity for about SIX weeks or more. 15 Foods That KILL Heart Attacks 5

6 The damage to your heart could easily lead to heart failure, making it even harder for your heart to pump without the right medications or the use of an artificial pump. And, forgot about ever feeling normal again! You will always have the fear that the next one will KILL you. Or that anything you do could be too much for you and lead you to another hospital stay. Trust me, you will probably wish you NEVER survived or that you took the right steps earlier in your life to prevent this often times fatal, life-altering condition from happening! In order to prevent a heart attack, you need to do two things: change the way you eat and exercise EVERY DAY. These keys may help prevent a heart attack. But really, let s face it: diet plays a MUCH larger role than exercise. Yes, exercise lowers blood pressure, cholesterol, and heart rate, but You simply can t out exercise a bad diet. Heart attacks are not 100 percent preventable. But, if you make positive changes to the way you eat, then at least you may positively modify your risk. So what foods KILL heart attacks? 15 Foods That KILL Heart Attacks 6

7 Chapter 3: The 15 Foods That KILL Heart Attacks 15 Oranges The tasty citrus fruit that has made Florida famous may also lower your risk for having a heart attack. Besides the abundance of vitamins and minerals, oranges contain pectin, which has been shown to reduce cholesterol. Plus, pectin may lower your galactin-3 levels, which could lead to less damage to your heart (commonly found in heart failure). And, the potassium found in oranges may balance out your sodium levels, which could dramatically lower your blood pressure. 14 Garlic High blood pressure is a major concern for those looking to reduce their risk for a heart attack. Luckily, garlic comes to the rescue. Garlic has been shown to reduce angiotensin (known to constrict blood vessels), which lowers blood pressure. Plus, garlic contains other compounds that may reduce plaque development in your arteries, allowing for blood to freely flow to your heart. 15 Foods That KILL Heart Attacks 7

8 13 Red Wine Red wine contains powerful antioxidants namely resveratrol which may boost your good cholesterol. Wine also contains other nutrients called polyphenols which help keep your veins and arteries flexible, plus lowers inflammation in your body. This may lead to less clotting (acts very much like aspirin) which prevents blood clots from targeting your heart or other areas in your body. But, be warned: less is more. One glass of red wine may be deliver heart health benefits, while excessive red wine drinking may do the opposite and damage your heart. 12 Dark Chocolate Minimally processed dark chocolate contains a type of antioxidant called flavonols which may protect your heart. Flavonols have been linked to lower blood pressure and increased flexibility in your veins and arteries. Plus, dark chocolate contains other potent antioxidants that may quell inflammation and reduce oxidative stress. Enjoy a few squares of minimally processed dark chocolate in order to prolong the health of your heart. 11 Kale Kale is one powerful superfood. Not only does it contain fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and potassium, it also contains a powerful nutrient that enhances your body s own antioxidant defense. The nutrient glucoraphanin may increase levels of Nrf2, which is the first line of defense against cellular oxidative stress. And this defense may be the first step in protecting your heart from excessive damage. 15 Foods That KILL Heart Attacks 8

9 10 Almonds Almonds are a perfect snack option for busy people on the go who want to reduce cholesterol and heart attack risk. Not only do almonds contain omega-3 fatty acids, but they also contain plenty of plant sterols. Plant sterols have been shown to reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol and boost your HDL (good) cholesterol. This protects your heart and prevents those nasty LDL cholesterol particles from becoming oxidized and travel into your arteries where they really cause damage. 9 Olive Oil Olive oil is not only one of the best oils for cooking it is also the number ONE oil for protecting your heart. Studies show that people who use olive oil as their main source of fat may have a lower risk for heart disease. The reason: the monounsaturated fatty acids found in olive oil may lower cholesterol, normalize blood clotting, and may even stabilize your blood sugar. Even though this is a great fat for your body, don t overdo it. Olive oil is still a fat and carries with it a lot of calories. A tablespoon or two on your salad, fish, or vegetables should be enough to add significant flavor and protect your heart at the same time. 8 Avocado According to the American Heart Association, replacing saturated and trans-fats with unsaturated fatty acids may help lower your risk for a heart attack. And this is great news for Avocado lovers. Avocados are brimming with monounsaturated fatty acids (like the kind found in olive oil), making it ideal for increasing your intake of unsaturated fats. Plus, avocados are a trans-fat, sodium-free, and cholesterol-free food which adds even more benefit to your heart. 15 Foods That KILL Heart Attacks 9

10 7 Coconut Oil Coconut oil is getting quite the reputation for improving different aspects of your health. From fighting off viruses and bacteria to improving your heart health, coconut oil may be an oil to start including in your diet. Coconut oil contains a fat - called Lauric acid which is a type of medium chain triglyceride. Some studies show that Lauric acid may lower total cholesterol and boost your HDL levels. Besides that, coconut oil may also stabilize blood sugar, which could improve your weight loss (another risk factor for heart disease). 6 Lentils On average, most people in this country and around the world are not getting enough fiber into their diet. This could be one reason for the exploding rates of obesity and heart disease that currently is the biggest health epidemics worldwide. But including lentils (and beans) may be an easy fix to the fiber problem. Lentils a type of legume is chock full of soluble fiber, which has been shown to lower total and bad (LDL) cholesterol numbers. Plus, it may contain other potent vitamins and minerals that are essential for lowering your risk for a heart attack. 5 Eggs For years, eggs got a bad reputation for increasing cholesterol and heart attack risk simply due to the cholesterol found in the egg yolk. The fact is: eggs are great for heart health. The cholesterol found in egg yolk may NOT raise your cholesterol, therefore putting this myth to rest. Plus, egg whites contain a compound that has been shown to lower blood pressure, by reducing angiotensin levels in your blood. 15 Foods That KILL Heart Attacks 10

11 4 Sardines Sardines are a low-calorie, protein rich food which may aid in your fat loss. But, they also hold a secret. They are full of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. These fats have a reputation for lowering cholesterol especially your LDL cholesterol levels. Plus, the protein found in a serving of these tiny fish may suppress your appetite, which is great news for those looking to lose some weight and improve their risk factors. 3 Pomegranates You already know that lowering your LDL or your bad cholesterol is important to better heart health. But, what you should really be concerned about is lowering the oxidation of those LDL particles. When an LDL particle is oxidized, it may travel through your artery wall easier, leading to inflammation and eventual plaque development. Good thing that the antioxidants found in your daily glass of pomegranate juice saves the day. These powerful nutrients have been shown to block the oxidization of LDL s and may even reduce plaque development in your arteries. Enjoy an EIGHT ounce glass, once-a-day to prevent a heart attack from occurring. 2 Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) Quinoa, otherwise known as the super grain, may be the best kept secret on this list. Not only does it offer a wide range of anti-inflammatory properties, but it also contains omega-3 fatty acids and ALA. Both of these fats provide protection for your heart by lowering your bad cholesterol and boosting your good cholesterol. Plus, the anti-inflammatory particles may also reduce the effects of inflammation and oxidative stress, which could lower your heart attack and disease risk. 15 Foods That KILL Heart Attacks 11

12 1 Wild-caught Salmon This cold-water fish contains a heavy dose of the omega-3 fatty acids, DHA and EPA. These fats possess anti-inflammatory, cholesterol-lowering, and other potent health effects that lower your risk for having a heart attack. Plus, the high-quality protein found in fish may lead to fat loss, which again, lowers your risk for developing heart disease, or dying from a heart attack. And this could significantly raise your risk for high blood pressure and all its illeffects. 15 Foods That KILL Heart Attacks 12

13 Chapter 4: IMPORTANT Take Home Message Now, I want to touch on an important aspect that is found in some of the foods listed above. And that is the omega-3 fatty acids. These potent fats have been proven, time and again, to improve many different risk factors that are associated with heart disease. First, they have been shown to lower your total cholesterol levels. This is one reason why you doctor harps on you to take your omega-3 fats! The second, it boosts your HDL or your good cholesterol. Your HDL cholesterol acts like a street sweeper in your body. It sweeps through your arteries, sweeping up the LDL cholesterol and returning it to your liver. This is how your arteries stay healthy and your cholesterol levels stay low! Plus, EPA and DHA are both anti-inflammatory compounds that lower internal inflammation and may protect your body against oxidative stress. Now, most doctors will tell you to take a Fish oil supplement to get your daily dose of omega-3 fats. But, what they don t tell you is how ineffective this may be You see, fish oil contains a high amount of omega-3 fats. But, due to the chemical structure, your body loses a fair amount of those fats due to the conversion process that occurs in your liver.. This means that you LOSE many of the omega-3 fatty acids that protect your heart and the rest of the cells in your body. Now, before you throw your hands up in the air in defeat, let me tell you what you SHOULD be doing 15 Foods That KILL Heart Attacks 13

14 Chapter 5: Here s What To Do Next... To get the best bang for your buck, you really should invest in the BEST omega-3 fatty acid supplements. Like Fish oil, Krill Oil contains the omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA. But, unlike fish oil, the omega-3 fats found in Krill Oil are more readily available for your body to use. It all falls in the chemical structure that is unique ONLY to Krill Oil. This allows for MORE omega-3 fatty acids to be absorbed and USED by your body. The result is lower cholesterol (LDL and Total), lower triglycerides, and lower inflammation levels. And this could provide optimal protection for you and your heart from strokes, heart attacks, or the development of heart disease. But the best part is yet to come!
