Following a few simple nutrition tips can help keep your heart strong and keep blood vessels clear of blockages. Margaret Junker, a registered dietitian in UC Davis Health’s Preventive Cardiology Program, offers this simple guide to eating heart-healthy meals and answers some of the most common questions she gets from patients.

What if I'm allergic to fruit
I fucked up by eating a lot of pre packaged food when started my job couple years ago. This country is killing us
Along with Healthy Heart Meals one can take natural remedy —Arjun Tea by Planet Ayurveda which includes Natural Co Q 10
Good video but not all the advice here is healthy adivce, but I am sure she is told to throw in that bad advice stuff. Do your own research, as knowledge is powerful. There is good & bad in everything. Cornola oil is bad & spray oils are bad. Use unrefined coldpress oils like olive, avocado & coconut oils. As for salt & Sodium intake, package foods have bad Sodium yes & white tabletop salt is bad but you can use real natural salts like sea salt & Himalayan salts as these salts are high in natural minerals which the body needs & there is a wide variety of these healthier choices of natural salts. As for natural sugars & bad factory added sugars always choose real natural sugars as in fruits or real honey. I was diabetic but have been free of diabetes for 8 yrs now & I eat real local honey every day about 2 – 3 tables a day & my A1c stays at around 5.4. They are finally coming out with the truth about most store bought honey is fake or adulterated honey. I buy my honey from local beekeepers. The only honey I buy that is not local is high grade manuka honey but you must know yourself on a deep level to know what your body needs to stay truly healthy. A lot also has to do with how much one moves their body's throughout the day (exercising type moving, not normal day to day moving). I am very active & the more active one is the body breaks down food better & properly but if your someone who is not active much throughout the day your body works slower & for some ppl this is why they experience spikes in blood sugar when they eat some fruits or real honey. Eating right, healthy & keeping active is key in helping our body's process what we put in it. I'm speaking from personal experience, as prior to 2016 I weighed over 300lbs, mile long list of health issues & on 30+ pharmaceutical meds. Today I am at 185lbs, resolved most all my physical health issues & on only 1 pharmaceutical medicine. I am not a Dr or nutritionist. I can only speak from my own personal experience of learning, research & trial & error.
And bananas have the highest sugar Contant of any fruit! If you’re not a diabetic then you should still treat fruit as an occasional dessert. Modern technology has made fruit available all year around.
Spinach is one of the dirty dozen vegetables that should never ever be eaten unless it’s organic.
Look up, The dirty dozen.
Also need to watch how many vegetables, you eat, that are high in oxalates.
If you have heart problems you do need to watch your cholesterol & how many eggs you eat in a week.
If you do not have heart problems, eggs are OK.
Woman doesn’t know what she’s talking about. I’m surprise she doesn’t bring up the food pyramid scam that Western medical doctors push.
It’s alarming how much salt and fat/additives are in prepackaged foods and it’s to the point where I make everything by scratch. I’m surprised you didn’t mention garlic.
No oils are good. Only olive avocado butter and rendered fats
It's keep the smell from the intake as well as the out take .
