Many of them don\u2019t go meat-free, but they still benefit from the advice that follows.\u00a0\n\n\n\n</p><h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Have at least five cups of veggies a day\n\n\n\n</h2><p>Two of the largest studies examining how eating habits affect chronic disease have found that people who ate eight or more servings a day were 30 percent less likely to have a heart attack or stroke than people who consumed one and a half servings or fewer. So eat at least five cups of fruits and vegetables a day. My patients find it easy\u2014and tasty\u2014to drink some of their servings by making a greens-based juice (with fruit) in a blender.\n\n\n\n</p><p>\n\n\n\n</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img fetchpriority='\"high\"' decoding='\"async\"' width='\"648\"' height='\"972\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/11%5C/51f1c35d9352e8132a4aead33ed96645.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-20676\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/lorevista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/51f1c35d9352e8132a4aead33ed96645.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>If you must eat meat, eat it naked\n\n\n\n</h2><p>Forgoing animal products can be a drastic change. At the very least, avoid processed meat like hot dogs, sausages, and bacon. Harvard researchers found that every 1.8 ounces of processed meat eaten more than once a week raises heart disease risk by 42 percent. In addition, eat meat that\u2019s as \u201cnaked\u201d as possible\u2014no antibiotics, hormones, or hidden additives. Opt for grass-fed animals, which have more heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids than grain-fed animals.\n\n\n\n</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-full><img decoding='\"async\"' width='\"760\"' height='\"506\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/11%5C/shutterstock_207773968.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-20678\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/lorevista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/shutterstock_207773968.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\n</p><h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Drink three cups of tea a day\n\n\n\n</h2><p>Green, black, and oolong varieties help reduce levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides, regulate levels of blood sugar, and soothe inflammation.\n\n\n\n</p><p>\n\n\n\n</p><div class='\"wp-block-image\"'><figure class='\"aligncenter' size-large><img decoding='\"async\"' width='\"1024\"' height='\"575\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/11%5C/l-intro-1614109202-1024x575.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-20677\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/lorevista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/l-intro-1614109202-1024x575.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>Choose SMASH fish\n\n\n\n</h2><p>SMASH fish are: sardines, mackerel, anchovies, salmon, and herring.

Heart patients treated with this therapy at least twice a week had half the rate of hospitalization and death of a control group over a five-year period. It may improve the function of the cells that line the arteries.
