Heart disease, one of the leading causes of death for both men and women, is influenced by diet and lifestyle. At Nutritional Weight & Wellness, we teach people how to maintain healthy blood vessels.

 

Eating in a heart-healthy way begins by eliminating sugar and damaged vegetable oils (including trans fats) from your diet. Sugar damages blood vessels and bad fats clog your arteries, two major culprits contributing to heart disease.

 

Research supports the importance of eating a variety and sufficient quantity of vegetables for antioxidants and bioflavonoids. We all know that we should eat our veggies, but how many of us know that we need animal protein and healthy fats to maintain the strength and integrity of our blood vessels? The eating plan Nutritional Weight & Wellness recommends includes a variety of vegetables, healing fats and lean proteins. Eating this way can be interesting, tasty and fun to prepare, given the support and direction needed. For additional cardiovascular support, key supplements include CoQ_10, Omega 3 essential fatty acids, and magnesium.

 

If you want to learn ways to eat that protect your heart and support it, our Weight & Wellness class teaches good nutrition.  People who already have unhealthy blood vessels that have resulted from diabetes, heart attacks and infections will benefit greatly from a sophisticated nutritional analysis.  See one of our nutritionists for a heart-healthy consultation.
