How to Avoid Heart Disease |

|
11 things you can do to reduce your risk of heart disease.
- Don't worry about your cholesterol - the stress of unnecessary worry can contribute to heart disease.
- Do not take cholesterol-lowering drugs - they contribute to heart failure.
- Avoid processed food, especially foods containing processed vegetable oils and trans fats.
- Eat the meat, fat and organ meats of grassfed animals.
- Eat plenty of wild-caught seafood.
- Do not consume protein powders, lean meat, egg whites without the yolks or skim milk. High-protein diets lacking the nutrients supplied by animal fats can deplete vitamin A, leading to heart disease.
- Eat liver at least once a week to ensure adequate levels of vitamin B12, vitamin B6, folic acid, iron and copper.
- Take cod liver oil and consume plenty of butter from grass-fed cows to ensure adequate levels of vitamins A and D.
- Maintain a healthy weight - neither too heavy nor too thin.
- Engage in moderate exercise in the great outdoors.
- Do not smoke; avoid exposure to environmental toxins.
