  MAKE NUTS A REGULAR PART OF YOUR DIET TO LOWER YOUR RISK OF HEART DISESASE! Consume 2 ounces of nuts at least three times a week. The health benefits are numerous: they contain fiber, plant sterols, minerals and healthy fat, and are a staple in at least one of the longest lived societies on the planet in Loma Linda, California. The nuts that contain the highest amount of monounsaturated, or ‘’good’’, fat are almonds, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pecans, pistachios, and walnuts. So much on them as a snack, top salads or soups with them, or mix them with fruit and yogurt.    DRINK 6 OUNCES OF POMEGRANATE JUICE DAILY TO HELP YOUR HEART AND YOUR LOVE LIFE!

  WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT INFLAMMATION Fortunately, a great deal of inflammation is under our control. If you can control the “fire within,” you’ll be well ahead of the game when it comes to extending your life as well as improving the quality of the years you have. Once again, it all starts with food. As with antioxidants the plant kingdom is absolutely loaded with natural anti-inflammatory properties. Some of the superstars that you should include in your diet are: ·          Onions and leeks ·          Garlic ·          Leafy greens (eg., spinach, chard, kale) ·          Tomatoes ·          Bell peppers ·          Brassica vegetables (eg., Brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower) ·          Beans: all types ·          Nuts and seeds ·          Spices: ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, cloves ·          Herbs: parsley, rosemary, thyme, oregano, mint, tarragon, dill ·          Tea: all types ·          Red wine ·          Cocoa/Chocolate (Minimum sugar, maximum chocolate) ·         

Increase your consumption of omega-3 fats from fish and fish oil supplements and even plant sources (such as flaxseed). Substitute nonhydrogenated, unsaturated fats for saturated and trans fats. Eat a diet that is high in vegetables, nuts, fruits and whole grains and low in sugar and refined grain products. Avoid processed foods. Choose foods, food combinations and food preparation methods that are low on the glycemic index. Eat Wild Salmon At Least Twice a Week to Protect Your Heart Remember to eat wild salmon. Yes, farmed salmon has more fat than wild salmon, but a much smaller percentage of that fat is from heart-healthy omega-3s and a much larger percentage is from pro-inflammatory omega-6s. Because, as we’ve seen earlier, the ratio of anti-inflammatory omega-3s to pro-inflammatory omega-6s is a big issue in the field of anti-aging (and human health in general), this is a disturbing piece of news.
