2. The delicate yet durable heart
Beats 60 to 70 times a minute
Beats over 100,000 times a day
Pumps 5,000 gallons of blood through
60,000 miles of blood vessels each day
In an average life, it will pump more than
100 million gallons of blood and beat
approx. 2.5 billions times
3. Cardiovascular Disease
#1 cause of death in developed countries
Every 48 seconds, a person dies of a heart
attack
Effects more than 43 million Americans
550,000 people die each year from Heart
Disease in America
40 million people are living with
Cardiovascular impairments
4. Changing Statistics
1900 – America was the healthiest of all 93
civilized countries
– No processed foods
– Heart disease accounted for 1/7 deaths
By 1978, the US had dropped to 79th place
1920 – average grocery store carried 800 items
Today – over 10,000 items found in grocery
stores
MAJOR DIFFERENCE – Introduction of
commercially processed foods into our daily
diet
5. Sugar statistics
Today, American each more than 71
pounds of sugar/sweeteners annually.
This is 20 teaspoons of sugar daily (1/2
cup)
75% of sugar consumed is added by food
processors.
Sugar consumption is linked with
numerous diseases such as cancer,
diabetes, and heart disease
6. Fat Statistics
Fats and oils make up 37% of calories in the
Standard American Diet (SAD)
French fries, doughnuts, fried chicken, pizza,
and cheese cake are common in the SAD
Commonly used oils are coconut and palm oil –
very high in saturated fats and dangerous to
cardiovascular health
Hydrogenated oils are very common today – this
process has been used since the 1930’s
7. Collectively, fat and sugar provide almost
two-thirds of the total calories in the
American diet today.
Unfortunately, both are high in calories,
low in nutrients and put undue stress on
our bodies, particularly the cardiovascular
system.
8. Salt statistics
Food processing has also altered normal table
salt (sodium chloride)
Salt producing companies now dry their salt in
huge kilns – temperatures reach 1200 F which
alters the chemical structure of salt, which can
have an adverse affect on the human body
For thousands of years, people typically ate
1200-1600 mg of salt daily
Today the average consumption is 6-20 grams
which is ten to thirty times as much
9. Sea Salt
Dried naturally, at low temperatures by
the rays of the sun
Unprocessed and unheated sea salt
contains both natural sodium chloride and
additional trace minerals essential to good
health
Sea salt may be used sparingly by most
people
11. Four Keys to Prevention of Heart
Disease
Positive “can do” attitude
Diet – Pro-Vita Plan
– High vegetable plan, constructed around
protein
– 60-70% raw foods
Exercise
Nutrition
– Essential Fatty acids, Vitamins, Minerals
12. Physical Exercise
Significant research shows that people who are
physically active have less heart attacks
Exercise, especially in fresh air, will reduce
stress and strengthen the heart and entire body
40 minute walk is very effective
Seek medical approval before beginning an
exercise program. Increase levels gradually
13. Maintain normal weight
Overweight patients are 4 times as likely
to develop high blood pressure
Abdominal obesity is linked to an
increased risk of strokes in mean and
heart failure for both men and women
14. Stop smoking
Men who smoke are 2-3 times more likely
than non-smokers to die from heart
attacks
Women who smoke face nearly four times
the risk of heart attacks before 65
Women who smoke and take oral-
contraceptives are even more at risk
15. Chlorinated water
Do not drink chlorinated water
Chlorine destroys Vitamin E within the
body
Vitamin E is essential to healthy heart
function
16. Meditation
Inner arts of meditation and
contemplation provide a calming influence
over the mind, emotions, and body
Reduce stress levels
Welcome refuge of relaxation from the
storms of life
17. Dietary Recommendations
Moderation is the rule – especially with heart patients
Large meals and heavy foods puts a sudden burden on
the heart
Frequent small meals are preferred
Cultured soy protein, such as tofu, and other vegetable
proteins help lower cholesterol
Chicken and turkey are acceptable
Avoid beef, ham, bacon, sausage, and dairy products
Non-fat yogurt and cottage cheese are exceptions and
OK to eat
Nutritional yeast is excellent
18. Fruits and Vegetables
Eat heartily – high in nutritional value and
fiber
Emphasize asparagus, red pimiento
peppers, fresh red tomatoes, garlic,
onions, parsley, potato, eggplant, okra,
sea vegetables, melon, currants,
blueberries, apples and watermelon
19. Freshly squeezed juices
Fresh juices act as a tonic for cardiac
health
Vegetable juices – combinations of any of
the following: carrot, spinach, celery,
lettuce, beet, and asparagus (add a little
onion and garlic if you like)
Fruit juices – emphasize red grapes, black
currants, blueberries, rosehips
20. Grains and Seeds
Whole grains (unrefined) and raw seeds provide
beneficial nutrients
Wild rice, millet, buckwheat, sunflower seeds,
flax seeds and sesame seeds
Make sure they are fresh, unbroken, and not
rancid
Rancid seeds put an additional burden on the
heart
Soaking seeds overnight in water makes them
easier to digest and improves nutritional value
21. Fatty Acids
Linoleic, linolenic and EPA lower
cholesterol and triglyceride levels – they
are found in polyunsaturated sources
Grape seed oil excellent source of linoleic
acid
Fresh flax oil in high in linolenic acid
EPA is found in cold water fish
AVOID saturated fats – solid at room temp
22. Dietary Oil Caution
Polyunsaturated fats become RANCID
easily and thus become a dangerous
source of free radicals
Keep polyunsaturated fats refrigerated
and tightly capped. Discard at the first
signs of rancidity
Make sure Vitamin E intake is adequate
23. Best oils to use
Grape Seed oil – Excellent for cooking with a
high smoke point. Excellent as a salad oil. Keep
refrigerated
Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Best used at room
temperature. Excellent salad oil but too fragile
to cook with, except at very low temperatures
Flax Seed – Fragile and oxidizes quickly so use
within a month. Keep refrigerated. Also
available in capsules. Take 1 TB with a protein
meal
24. Foods to Avoid
All fried foods
Table salt
Coffee (raises cholesterol)
Alcohol
Red meats
Animal fat
Eggs (no more than 4 per
week)
Saturated fats
Whole milk products
Ice cream
Hydrogenated oils

(restrict to less than
10%)
Soft drinks

or refined foods
25. Examples of Processed Foods

Salted crackers
Luncheon meats
Processed cheese
Soups, commercial
canned or dry
Potato and corn chips
Canned fish
Ketchup and
barbeque sauce
Smoked, cured or
canned meats
Salad dressings
(commercial brands)
26. “Cardiovascular disease, by the body’s
innate design, is largely reversible by
applying the correct diet, necessary
herbal/nutritional therapies, and exercise.”
Dr. Jack Tips
27. Supplementation
