From the desk of Dr Nandita Shah...

Every week, I see patients who have already undergone heart procedures—or have been advised bypass surgery or angioplasty. Heart disease is rising at an alarming rate, even among people under 40. Yes, the pandemic and its aftermath played a role. But at its core, this is a lifestyle crisis: chronic stress, sedentary lives, and diets rich in oil, fatty foods, and animal products.
|
The good news? Heart disease and hypertension are largely preventable—and often reversible.
This is not new information. As early as 1990, Dr. Dean Ornish demonstrated reversal of heart disease through lifestyle changes. Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn reinforced this with Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease. Even former U.S. President Bill Clinton reversed his heart disease using this approach—featured in CNN’s The Last Heart Attack. (see below)
Yet millions still depend solely on medications, and thousands of heart procedures are performed daily—often without patients being told that lifestyle changes can dramatically alter outcomes. Why? Because there is little money in lifestyle medicine. And because many patients hope for a pill or procedure instead of change—until it’s too late.
The real question is: Would you be willing to change your lifestyle to protect your heart—and your life?

What Can You Do to Prevent (and Reverse) Heart Disease?
|
|
|
1. Avoid all added fats
Oils, ghee, butter, and all animal products—including dairy—are high in fat. Excess fat thickens the blood, increases blood pressure, and narrows arteries.
