Just read a book on the Bible Cure for Heart Disease by Don Colbert, M.D. and would like to share how you can improve your heart condition by making changes to your diet.
First, you can make an effort to decrease or avoid fried foods, red meats, hot dogs and other cured meats. Also reduce the intake of eggs, high fat diary products, butter, cream, lard and other saturated fats.
Finally, cut back and then eliminate high-sugar foods, including ice-cream, pies, cakes, cookies, candies, white bread, processed foods, refined cereals, chips and other chip-like snack foods, salty foods and soft drinks.
Sometimes, we begin to ask, then what do I eat?
There are all kinds of wonderful things to add to your diet in the process! Eat primarily fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Also enjoy lean meats such as chicken breast, turkey breast and fish (but remember to peel the skins off the chicken and turkey). Using extra-virgin olive oil or canola oil instead of other vegetable oils also benefits your health. They contain oleic acid, which is a form of fatty acid much less prone to being damaged by free radicals.
A high-fiber diet can really help you beat heart disease. That's because fiber helps bind the bad cholesterol so it is excreted through the colon. Omega-3 fatty acids such as fish oil also lower the levels of triglycerides and the LDL cholesterol.
Take foods that are rich in magnesium and potassium. These two minerals are extremely important in the healthy functioning of the cardiovascular system. Magnesium is found primarily in seeds, nuts, whole grains and green leafy vegetables. Magnesium dilates the coronary arteries, improving blood flow and oxygen to the heart. It also prevents arrhythmia. Potassium is found in raw vegetables, fruits especially citrus fruits, bananas and avocados, potatoes and dandelion greens.
CLAIM GOD'S PROMISE : You must serve only the Lord your God. If you do, I will bless you with food and water, and I will keep you healthy. Exodus 23:25
