🔎 Today, we’re going to explore 5 of the worst foods and 5 of the best foods for a heart attack so you can understand exactly what foods to limit and what to eat more of.
5. Processed meats
These foods may increase the risk of coronary heart disease mainly due to excess salt and toxic chemical additives which push up blood pressure and impede heart function.
Processed meats are often high in nitrates, which can become cancer-causing compounds in the body.
4. Refined Carbohydrates
Refined carbs have been processed to remove the fiber and other nutrients. Too many refined carbs can cause spikes in blood sugar and insulin levels and can lead to weight gain, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes - all of which increase your risk of heart attack.
3. Margarine
Margarine is full of trans-fat which causes cholesterol to oxidate leading to plaque build-up in the arteries and heart attack.
Trans-fats cause blood platelets to become sticky and unable to function properly - skyrocketing the risk of heart attack, diabetes, and other diseases.
2. Deep-fried foods and fast food
Deep frying adds extra calories and unhealthy fats to your diet which can develop harmful chemicals and trigger oxidation in the body.
This leads to inflammation and increases the risk for cardiovascular disease, heart attack, stroke, and diabetes.
1. Sweet Beverages
Sugar-sweetened and artificially-sweetened beverages are loaded with sugar, which leads to weight gain, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes - all of which increase your risk of a heart attack.

Content
0.48 -> Heart disease is the leading cause of death
for both men and women in the United States.
7.2 -> About 800,000 Americans die from heart
disease each year. That’s 1 in every 4 deaths.
16.2 -> So today we’re going to explore 5 of the worst
foods and 5 of the best foods for heart attack…
24.18 -> So you can cut through the fog and
understand exactly what foods to
29.58 -> limit and what to eat more of…
Plus easy ways to get more of
34.56 -> these good ingredients into your meals.

47.64 -> We want to make sure you get the latest
info so you can live a long, healthy life.
53.28 -> And stick around to find out how
to get 2 heart-health free gifts…
58.74 -> We guarantee both you and
your heart will love them!
62.22 -> Ok, let’s get into it.
Number 5. Processed meats
67.8 -> Processed meats include things like
ham, bacon, sausages, and salami.
73.74 -> Research by the University of Oxford found that
for every 50 grams of processed meat per day, the
80.4 -> risk of coronary heart disease increased by 18%.
That’s mainly due to excess salt and toxic
88.14 -> chemical additives… which push up blood
pressure and impede heart function.
93.12 -> Other studies found that processed meats
significantly increased risk for bowel cancer.
99.24 -> Processed meats are often high in nitrates, which
can become cancer-causing compounds in the body.
105.96 -> So, if you're going to eat processed meats…make
sure it's only on a special occasion.
111.42 -> Practice portion control and
offset them with healthy foods…
115.8 -> And when it comes to nitrates, always
choose organic or nitrate-free options...
121.5 -> Or go for a more heart-healthy
option like turkey or chicken.
125.7 -> Number 4. Refined Carbohydrates
Refined carbohydrates make up a
133.14 -> major part of the modern diet… and are
a main culprit for fact that today one
138.3 -> in 11 adults has diabetes… and one in 3 is
prediabetic… (many without even knowing it yet).
145.92 -> Refined carbs have been processed to
remove the fiber and other nutrients…
151.02 -> Like white bread, white rice,
pastries, and white sugar.
155.52 -> Too many refined carbs can cause spikes
in blood sugar and insulin levels…
160.56 -> And can lead to weight gain, insulin
resistance, and type 2 diabetes... all
165.84 -> of which increase your risk of heart attack.
One study published in the journal of Nutrition
171.18 -> Reviews found that people who eat the
most refined carbohydrates are up to
176.16 -> three times more likely to suffer from heart
disease compared to people who eat the least.
181.5 -> It’s useful to understand that refined grains
quickly turn into sugar after you eat them…
187.32 -> And sugar damages cholesterol… causing plaque
build up and raising the risk of heart attack.
193.92 -> When it comes to heart health, it’s
important to keep carbohydrate intake
198.18 -> to a healthy level… and choose complex
carb options rather than refined carbs.
203.94 -> Number 3. Margarine
Margarine is bad
208.62 -> news for the heart and general health.
That’s because it’s full of trans-fat…
213.72 -> Which causes cholesterol to oxidate… leading to
plaque build-up in the arteries… and heart attack.
220.26 -> Trans fats are created when manufacturers
add hydrogen to liquid oils in order to
226.86 -> make them solid at room temperature.
A study published in The Lancet looked
231.72 -> at the consumption habits of over 80,000 people.
It found that people who regularly ate margarine
238.68 -> had a 50% increased risk of heart disease.
Trans-fats cause blood platelets to become sticky
246.78 -> and unable to function properly… skyrocketing the
risk of heart attack, diabetes, and other disease.
253.68 -> Experts recommend that a far safer option
for heart health is extra virgin olive oil,
259.44 -> which is high in healthy monounsaturated
fat and contains a ton of heart-healthy
265.74 -> compounds that have been thoroughly studied.
Number 2. Deep fried foods and fast food
273.72 -> Just like trans fats, deep fried
foods cause havoc in the body...
278.52 -> particularly if you regularly over indulge.
Deep frying adds extra calories and unhealthy
285.54 -> fats to your diet... not to mention
the fact that many fast food businesses
289.98 -> recycle cooking oil… which can develop harmful
chemicals and trigger oxidation in the body.
295.86 -> But it's not only about fat...
When you deep fry foods, toxic
301.02 -> compounds are created. These are called
AGEs or Advanced Glycation End Products.
308.7 -> AGEs are particularly elevated when high fat
and protein foods like meat are deep fried.
316.26 -> This leads to inflammation and
increases risk for cardiovascular
320.7 -> disease, heart attack, stroke, and diabetes.
For example, the Mount Sinai School of Medicine
328.5 -> found that deep fried chicken nuggets contained
over 7000 kilounits of AGEs per 90 grams…
336.66 -> While pan fried chicken breast
contained only 4000 kilounits…
341.64 -> And even better… chicken boiled with
lemon contained just 861 kilounits…
348.9 -> That’s 8 times less toxic
Advanced Glycation End Products!
354.66 -> So, while the ingredients you choose are
vitally important, how you cook your food also
360.24 -> makes a huge difference to health outcomes.
And the thing about AGEs (and many toxins
366.06 -> for that matter)... is that your body can
naturally eliminate them to a certain extent.
370.74 -> But the problem comes when your body
is overloaded... it just can't keep
375.66 -> up and disease begins to accelerate.
Like running on a treadmill... if the
380.82 -> treadmill gets stuck on maximum speed, you're
going to struggle and eventually collapse...
385.68 -> The same thing happens to the body when
it's constantly fighting against too
390.6 -> much unhealthy fat and toxins like AGEs.
So, if you're going to indulge in deep
397.38 -> fried foods, make it an occasional treat...
Experiment with oven baking or boiling...
402.9 -> And pair it with a side of salad to get
some fiber and nutrients that will help
407.58 -> your body process it all.
Number 1. Sweet Beverages
413.34 -> Sugar-sweetened and artificially-sweetened
416.1 -> beverages are one of the
worst things you can drink.
418.74 -> These include sodas, energy drinks,
sports drinks, and even some fruit juices.
424.8 -> First of all, they're loaded with
sugar… which leads to weight gain,
429.36 -> insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes... all
of which increase your risk of heart attack.
435.18 -> In fact, a study published in the journal
Circulation found that people who drank
440.76 -> one or more sugary drinks per day had a 38%
increased risk of developing heart disease.
447.78 -> Artificially sweetened drinks are
just as bad, if not worse for you.
452.82 -> These are the ones that use chemicals like
aspartame or saccharin instead of sugar…
458.46 -> And often trick people into believing they’re
better because they have “zero calories”.
464.82 -> However research over the last two decades has
proven over and over again the destruction that
471.3 -> this marketing trend has caused.
One study found that these
475.14 -> chemicals may change the gut microbiota…
negatively impacting glucose tolerance…
480.84 -> And a damming study published in the
journal “Diabetes Care” found that people
485.82 -> who drink diet soda on a daily basis had a
whopping 67% increase in type 2 diabetes…
493.56 -> And a 36% increase of metabolic syndrome…
A group of risk factors that include hypertension,
500.04 -> hyperglycaemia, and heart disease.
Fruit juice isn’t much better,
504.6 -> but if you’re going to drink juice, always
choose 100% juice with no added sugar...
510.24 -> And opt for a more heart healthy options like:
· pomegranate juice
514.26 -> · cranberry juice
· beetroot juice
516.72 -> · or cherry juice...
Studies have shown that these 4
520.5 -> options are significantly better for the heart.
Ok, so that’s the worst foods for heart attack,
527.7 -> now let’s turn the record over and look at
some of the BEST foods to protect your heart.
533.64 -> But first…

556.44 -> Ok, let’s get into our best
foods for heart attack prevention
561.24 -> 5. Microalgae
Microalgae can be
565.92 -> found in salt water and fresh water.
The most popular options are organic
570.9 -> spirulina and chlorella.
They contain unique
574.74 -> compounds which protect your heart.
One antioxidant in particular, gallic acid,
580.8 -> is found in high levels in microalgae. Gallic
acid is a powerful phenolic compound that has
588.36 -> been shown to fight infection and
have potent antioxidant properties.
593.34 -> Another compound, astaxanthin, has
been shown to reduce blood oxidation
598.5 -> levels in heart failure patients.
Microalgae is also a rich source of
604.68 -> heart healthy Omega 3 fatty acids.
And while this supplement can’t be
609.54 -> taken in large quantities, small daily
amounts offers incredible heart benefits.
615.42 -> 4. Berries
Berries are an
618.78 -> excellent food to help prevent heart attacks.
They are rich in antioxidants which protect
623.64 -> your cells from damage. Berries also contain
nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, and fiber.
629.76 -> In fact, some berries contain up to
13,427 antioxidants per 100 grams…
638.34 -> which deliver strong anti-inflammatory
properties and protect the heart.
643.44 -> Regular berry consumption has been
shown to reduce chronic inflammation,
647.76 -> protect cholesterol from oxidation, balance blood
glucose, and decrease the risk of heart diseases.
654.48 -> One study published in The Journal of the
American College of Nutrition found that
660.18 -> eating strawberries every day decreased
oxidation markers by 38% over 30 days.
667.02 -> While another found that eating blueberries
reduced free-radical damage to DNA.
672.96 -> For the most heart-benefits,
Johns Hopkins Medicine recommends:
677.01 -> · Blueberries
· Blackberries
680.1 -> · Strawberries
· Raspberries
682.5 -> · Cranberries
· and Golden berries
685.02 -> Beyond heart health, research suggests that
berries may have potent anti-cancer properties.
691.44 -> That’s particularly due to the compounds
ellagic acid, resveratrol, and anthocyanins.
698.46 -> Anthocyanins are a special type of
antioxidant responsible for the red,
704.1 -> blue, and purple colors of berries… and
play a major role in reducing inflammation,
710.16 -> improving artery health, increasing blood flow,
and protecting against free radical damage.
716.34 -> Experts recommend buying fresh or frozen
berries, rather than dried or canned options.
722.7 -> 3. Avocado
725.4 -> Avocado is known for its many health benefits,
including the prevention of heart attacks.
731.46 -> Avocados are high in monounsaturated fats,
which boost "healthy" HDL cholesterol and
738.54 -> prevent oxidation of LDL cholesterol -
a major contributor to heart disease.
743.88 -> They are a fiber rich food,
and contain high levels of:
747.9 -> · Potassium
· Vitamin C
749.4 -> · Vitamin K
· Riboflavin
751.635 -> · and Vitamin E...
... all of which are
755.1 -> important for maintaining cardiovascular health.
They also contain oleic acid, a compound that
761.82 -> is particularly important for the heart… helping
to reduce hypertension or “high blood pressure”.
767.52 -> A 2022 finding from the Harvard University’s
School Of Public Health found that people who
774.06 -> ate 1 or more avocado per week had a 21%
reduced risk of coronary heart disease.
780.24 -> Furthermore, avocados help to regulate endothelial
function and improve insulin sensitivity.
787.74 -> 2. Grapes
Grapes are not only
791.7 -> delicious, but they are also good for your heart.
Studies have shown that grapes help to improve
797.34 -> blood lipid levels and reduce inflammation, both
of which are risk factors for heart disease.
802.98 -> Grapes contain many different polyphenol
substances, such as resveratrol,
808.08 -> phenolic acids, and flavonoids.
Resveratrol has been shown to have
813 -> anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic,
and anti-aging properties… which is
818.46 -> why it’s commonly used in medicine.
This unique compound has been shown
823.14 -> to promote heart health by building a
protective lining within blood vessels.
827.58 -> These polyphenols can be found in
every part of the grape - including
832.44 -> the skin, the flesh, and the seeds.
In a study of 34,489 people, eating foods that
841.38 -> contain polyphenols was linked to a reduction
in cardiovascular and all-cause mortality.
846.96 -> Additionally, grape skin extract has been found
to inhibit the growth of colon cancer cells.
852.72 -> And if you like a glass of
wine at night, great news…
856.68 -> Fermented grapes maintain their beneficial
polyphenol compounds, which is why experts promote
862.2 -> red wine as having heart health benefits.
1. Cruciferous Vegetables
870.3 -> How good are cruciferous veggies?... Well
Dr Lauren Blekkenhorst, from the National
875.64 -> Heart Foundation of Australia, describes them
as… Possibly be THE MOST beneficial food for
882.12 -> preventing advanced blood vessel disease.
That’s because they are a fantastic
887.04 -> source of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and
antioxidants that improve artery health.
893.52 -> Cruciferous vegetables include
broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage,
898.32 -> kale, Brussels sprouts, and arugula.
These crunchy greens are packed with
904.62 -> various nutrients that benefit heart and
artery health… including Sulforaphane,
910.14 -> Vitamin K, and folate… all of which have been
linked with a reduced risk of heart attack.
916.2 -> They are also high in the compound phylloquinone…
which plays a crucial role in preventing the
922.92 -> build-up of plaque in the aorta… promoting
blood flow and preventing heart attack.
928.14 -> Study after study has confirmed that higher
cruciferous consumption is associated with
934.14 -> reduced risk of cardiovascular disease… as
well as reducing all-cause premature death.
940.38 -> Beyond supporting heart health, research
has shown that cruciferous vegetables have
945.66 -> anti-cancer benefits… fight inflammation and
arthritis… boost immunity… and strengthen bones.
953.28 -> As you can see, there is a reason
why this group comes up time and time
957.54 -> again as some of the most beneficial
foods for heart and all-round health.
