Per Dr. Batiste: 5 things to help lower resting heart rate 1. Stay hydrated 2. Exercise/increase actvity 3. Decrease/eliminate caffeine 4. Get at least 7 hours of sleep 5. Eat beans Great advice and these steps should be fairly easy for everyone to implement! These steps are after eating whole plant exclusive and you still need to tweak things!

[@judyjudyjudy1841]

@Mommiesmyname1...you have good reason to not trust Dr.'s today....so many of them don't seem to care. I can tell you about some nightmare situations with doctors around me. I had a brain bleed 2011, doctors could have done something about it (maybe), but paid no attention, there were clear signs. I had a heart attack Sept. 29, 22 & they could have done something (maybe) about that too! I say "could have" because I had the brain bleed & heart attack & survived. I had symptoms & none of them paid any attention! I have learned, you have to be your own advocate, & don't stay with a doctor because you have this "false" faith in them. xxxooo Judie My heart attack I lost 80% of my heart & didn't even know I had a heart attack until a month AFTER I had the attack. I had one of those heart attacks that (I) suffered NO pain. Imagine that. There are some good doctors out there because doctors saved my life both times. I am grateful to the LORD. HE did the good work!!!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing, this is how WE learn what is good & what isn't. xxxooo Judie

I was on the keto diet & I never felt better in my life. The depression that I had been suffering from since I had my baby in 1961....depression was gone & life was so good. I was happy with just life going on. I lost 35 lbs. in no time at all & the weight is still off!!!!! When I went into ketosis I quit the diet...it just frightened me. The things you learn early in life come back....ie. no butter, no dairy, in my life very little meat, in other words the way things have always been. I agree with what "they" say....did the old way make you lose weight, stop heart disease & all the rest that was claimed? No it didn't, but I also realize the "fast food" had begun & everyone was eating that without even realizing what it was doing to us. I have no clue if keto hurt me, but I sure know it made me "feel" great, I just don't know what to think!

Good interview. Glad they brought up the palm oil question as I just take care to have it mainly in its virgin form and fair traded and sustainably sourced from Africa. I had to chuckle when I heard that a 111 year old man uses olive oil on his feet and not necessarily to eat.

[@hiecharles]

palm oil is dangerous for the heart period!!!! it is comparable to coconut oil with its high LDL cholesterol content. imagine cutting your oil with a knife?!! nevertheless, we do need oil to absorb calcium for strong bones and teeth etc.,

[@chiyerano]

@@hiecharles All I know is there are many West Africans who consumed virgin palm oil regularly and they didn't have cardiovascular disease like people often do in America at least not until they started eating more like Americans and stopped eating more traditional largely plant based diets which happened to include virgin palm oil. Until you can point me to at least 3 good studies that back up what you say I am going to continue consuming virgin palm oil as part of my whole food vegan diet. I am also going to continue consuming virgin coconut butter and oil and make sure that they are all sustainably sourced and fair traded and unadulterated.

[@nancyinthegarden3160]

My DNA is not the same as my parents My Dad had two heart attacks I’ve been saying this for years We learn habits in families and I have always wondered which ethnicities have higher probability of heart problems and I have been assoc. with Italians, Afro Americans, Irish and their diets. They are not good. I would bet that Italians and Afro Americans are tied in heart issues. But one thing Drs. Don’t discuss about your heart is your emotions affecting your heart. It’s true and who is more heart broken than what the Africans have been through and the stress of just trying to cope with this society. I don’t expect to have to argue this point. It’s an observation for me. They have lived a life for years of pain.

[@hummingbirdsohm6432]

Ts not just one ethnic group. Talk with a person who lived through communism or the holocaust!

[@nancyinthegarden3160]

@@hummingbirdsohm6432 I’m speaking for African bc if their diets and their losses We can always speak about other suffering but I chose the non stop atrocities for this group. Please don’t think I’m underestimating the suffering of any other group of people. The atrocities of all groups of people are indescribable for me. The Jews continue to fight for their rightful acceptance, inclusion, respect, acknowledgement in society for all they’ve endured suffered and lost for many years. I also include the mass killing and sadistic treatment of Vietnamese here and in their land, the Irish there and as immigrants, Chinese, Italians, Polish, etc. I embrace all bc all of our ancestors were punished, mistreated, raped, and stolen by whomever was ruling their country or ravaging their lands. Long ago during the crusades there was no pity for any serfs, commoners around the world. I’ve read and seen enough to last me a lifetime of pain. We were speaking of heart attacks and diets. My experience have been with the ethnicities I mentioned. Let’s also mention what was done to American Indian in this land of theirs. Their women children were unnecessarily raped slaughtered killed by plague and sold so were will we stop??? Not enough space to mention all that’s been done to people around the world.

[@ef5842]

It's been very difficult to stay hydrated, so mashed beans and cooked vegetables in a food processor makes your food uniformly eqally tiny which gives you the opportunity to add extra water to it. The nutrients will be more easily absorbed, lighter to flow through more quickly than chunks, including nuts, so they have less tendency to bind up or slow the digestion. Your heart and digestive organs will be working better but not harder to keep food flowing. Keep your fats buddy buddy with carbs and buddy buddy with proteins as separate meals helps prevent constipation. Carbs and proteins need to stay separated. If you have beans, combine them with veggies. Remember to add water and mash them up. Try adding Spring salad in your blender as well. Eating meat and chicken in smaller portions prepared with beans and spring salad and cruciferous vegetables and blended with water makes a nice soup.
