What is the Optimum, Heart Healthy Diet?
Cardiologist Arthur Agatston, M.D., designed the South Beach Diet and it is certainly a good one for heart patients who have to have some meat. The Mediterranean Diet is another that should be considered; people on that diet are among the longest-lived humans on the planet. The Standard American Diet (SAD) is the worst possible diet for anyone–especially people with a heart or circulatory problem. Whichever diet you choose make sure you get enough antioxidants and essential fatty acids. Please note: The information here is not to be followed as medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
