HOW TO REVERSE HEART DISEASE WITH A PLANT-BASED DIET
People who follow a plant-based diet every day including fruits and vegetables, reduce the risk of having heart diseases. On the other hand, those who eat animal products increase their chances of developing heart disease or dying from it.
Don’t worry! I am not going to give you a boring lecture on why people should go vegan and start spending all their time with green leafy veggies. I want to make it fun and interesting for you so that you can get started on a plant-based diet with ease.
If you are one of the million Americans suffering from heart disease right now, then you need not worry either. A plant-based vegan diet is going to help fight your condition and even reverse some conditions like high blood pressure and others.
Grains
So go ahead and get started with this diet, it’s only going to be beneficial for you! Just make sure that your diet is whole foods plant-based and not animal-based or processed food based and of course, moderation is the key. Have a lot of fruits and vegetables, grains like amaranth, millets, oats, etc. whole grains and not refined ones like white rice. Also make sure you include nuts and beans in your diet, as they are healthy sources of protein too (including soy).
Calcium and Greens
Don’t worry about getting enough calcium if you follow a plant-based vegan diet. There are several vegetables that have high amounts of calcium, so just include those in your daily diet. Mainly green vegetables including Spinach, Kale, Broccoli, Kohlrabi, Chili peppers, Boc Choi, Cauliflower, Watercress, Brussel sprouts. The list goes on but if it’s green you can bet it has Vitamin C in it. All the green and boring ones I’m afraid, and if you’re interested in getting these nutrients in to your body without the fuss you could always go for Arbonne’s BeWell Super green Foods. They taste much better than normal green supplements and one scoop of this vegan superfood powder delivers a blend of 36 fruits and vegetables in each serving for a boost of greens. It also includes fibre and phytonutrients along with Blue/Green Algae. This vegan food supplement provides you with the benefits of eating the full colour spectrum of fruits and vegetables from one glass.
Fat Intake
You also must watch out for your fat intake, as all vegetable oils have a high amount of saturated fat. Just switch it with the healthier oils like olive oil or coconut oil whenever you can, or just don’t use them.
Half an avocado and a couple of nuts each day is enough good fat for anyone.
Though a plant-based vegan diet is going to help you live a better and healthier life, there are several things that have to be noted down.
Plant-based diet low in Cholesterol
A plant-based vegan diet is very low in cholesterol which is good for your heart. But it sure needs to include all the essential minerals like magnesium, phosphorus, potassium iodine, etc… However, supplementation may be required.
Include as many whole grains into your diet as you can. Whole grain pasta, whole grain bread, etc… is going to give a lot of fibre and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Start following a plant-based vegan diet and combine it with exercise to reduce the effects of heart disease.
B12 supplement
You will need to supplement for B12. Your health is important so please make sure you take a good supplement not a poor quality one that is packed with fillers and additives.
Vitamin Boosts
If you’re still thinking this is a little bit crazy and you don’t think you’ll be able to get all the vitamins you need from a plant-based diet this couldn’t be further from the truth. A whole foods plant-based vegan diet is where you get the real nutrients from. But if you are worried then you may benefit from Arbonne’s SuperBoost vitamin and mineral shots.

I learnt a tip or two from Dr. Esselstyn to help reverse heart disease.
Increasing your intake of green leafy vegetables, beans, soy products also increase fibre which can help reduce heart disease.
The Recipe
Eat a portion of steamed kale or spinach with a few drops of balsamic vinegar 6 times daily for best results. You don’t have to cook it six times as you can make up a large batch and store it in containers. Make sure the vegetable is still green and not brown and overcooked.
