1. Heart and
Cardiovascular System

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

10. Individual responsibility to prevent
heart disease
 Dietary risk factors:
– Excess fats
– Excess sugar
– Excess salt
 Lifestyle risk factors:
– Obesity
– Stress
– Hypertension
– Cigarette smoking
– Physical inactivity
– Heredity

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
 Rich sauces
 Sugars and sweets
(restrict to less than
10%)
 Soft drinks
 Commercially processed
or refined foods

25. Examples of Processed Foods
 Pretzels

 Salted nuts
 Peanut butter
 Bouillon cubes
 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
