What Heart Health Experts said about The Right Diet for Heart Health

Heart Health Experts Practicing what they preach : What Heart Health Experts said about the Right Diet

For Caldwell Esselstyn Jr MD, breakfast consists of rolled oats (not oat meal), grape nuts, raisins, banana, blueberries and oat milk with the sprinkling of flex seed meal. Lunch is lentil or pea or a vegetable soup. May be a veggie heaped sandwich, occasionally brown rice nori rolls or something reheated from the night before. The evening meal always has a heaping salad and a vegetable like green beans, Brissels sprouts,  broccoli , etc. often he has brown rice and beans topped with a variety of vegetables.

For Professor T. Colin Campbell : "My family and I have managed to change our diets substantially, I was raised on a diary farm and I 5 milked cows from the time I was  5 until I was 21. When I went away to school, I eventually got my PhD in animal nutrition at Cornell, where I worked on a project to produce animal protein more efficiency.  "We started changing our diet when our children came along, and we have been changing ever since. In a short run, people who are accustomed to a high salt, high-fat diet are not going to like healthier foods at first. But if you have a little patience, you will find  that after 2 or 3 months, perhaps longer, you will pick up new tastes.  Tastes do change. You will then discover that you are happier and more fit than ever before."

For John McDougall MD, besides eating a plant-based diet, exercise also is an important aspect of the family's health regimen. John loves windsurfing, and his wife Mary practices yoga, both do a lot of walking. Even if you don't exercise, you'll still regain a tremendous amount of health by just changing your diet, he saya, but" Exercise puts the finishing touches on a health Programme and makes you trim, active, more agile, and alert," "in large part, because of our health, our time is spent enjoying family, friends, and work. " Mc Dougall says. When his patients follow his advice, he may just lose them as patients. But that's Ok with him. "Sick people see doctors and take medications," he says. "Healthy people don't."
