Are you one of the millions of people that is suffering from heart disease or even worse? Have already
experienced a heart attack.

These days it’s difficult not to meet someone who is either suffering from heart disease, has had a
heart attack or has been told they are at risk for heart disease. It’s just about as common as meeting
someone with brown hair. Unfortunately, the media and even many well-meaning doctors are completely
misinformed on how to tackle this growing epidemic. It’s the number one killer in the US and plaguing
many other countries as well.

What are we to do?

The best plan of attack is to combat the risk factors the best we can

Use the following 5 tips to get you started on a heart healthy plan:

1. Drop the smokes. Yes, smoking has been shown to be one of the biggest risk factors in heart disease,
mainly because of all the toxic chemicals added to cigarettes (not that I’m recommending tobacco or
anything.)

2. Walk, walk, walk. If finding time for a structured exercise program is just too much of a challenge
right now, just start by walking. I have known many people who have strengthened their heart and
reversed severe conditions by getting outside and walking. If you can, find a scenic route. There’s
nothing more calming than the outdoors. (I highly recommend whistling and singing while you walk. It
makes for happy thoughts.)

3. Calm down. By this I mean, don’t stress about the stuff you don’t have to. This is actually a very
funny statement coming from me who used to stress about everything! Deadlines, laundry, work, family…
you name it, I stressed about. Not until I realized that this would kill me no matter how healthy my
food was did I drop the stress and pick up the laughter. Right now as I write this newsletter, I’ve got
more things that need to get done today than are humanly possible. My reaction “Haha..better put my
Superwoman shirt on”

4. Do not and I repeat, do not go on a low-fat diet. Your heart condition may get worse in your
attempts. Drop the bad fats (like hydrogenated oil and the nasty oil in French fries and donuts) and
start eating more healthy fats like coconut oil, olive oil, salmon, walnuts and whole organic eggs.

5. Do not be afraid to eat saturated fat. If read “The Truth About Saturated Fat” in The Diet Solution
Program you know that eating saturated fats is not what is causing people to get heart disease. It is
processed foods, sugars and an overabundance of refined carbohydrates that is making this country so
sick. The whole saturated fats topic gets me so fired up, I even made a video to further inform you –

Even tackling each one of these tips one at a time will get you closer to a healthy heart and a lifetime
of good health.
