1. Stop smoking. Nourish yourself with a handful of sunflower seeds
and a cup of nettle or oat straw infusion daily for 4 to 6 weeks before
quitting. Sunflower seeds reduce the body’s craving for nicotine by
filling the nicotine receptor sites. The infusions strengthen blood
vessels and nerves and cushions the impact of withdrawal.
2. Touch and be touched. Many scientific studies have shown that
people who were touched lovingly every day had significantly fewer heart
problems than the control group.
3. Eat seaweeds. They have been shown to stabilize blood pressure,
regulate levels of triglycerides, phospholipids and cholesterols, they
dissolve fatty build-ups in the blood vessels, they can restore cardiac
efficiency and prolong the life of the heart muscle, and they encourage a
steady heart beat.
4. Eat foods rich in beta-carotenes: they can cut your risk of a
stroke by 40 percent. Foods rich in beta-carotenes include carrots,
cabbage, winter squash, sweet potatoes, dark leafy greens, apricots, and
seaweed.
5. Eat garlic. Study after study has confirmed garlic’s abilities to
lower blood pressure, reduce phospholipids and cholesterol, strengthen
heart action, increase immune response, reduce platelet clumping and
clotting (thus reducing strokes) and stabilize blood sugar levels. Eat
garlic raw or lightly cooked, several cloves a day.
6. Eat foods rich in essential fatty acids. Fresh pressed oils of wheat germ or flax seed are especially nourishing.
7. Drink lemon balm tea. It is so strengthening to the heart that
there’s an old saying about it: “Those who drink lemon balm tea daily
will live forever!” You can also steep a handful of fresh leaves in a
glass of white wine for an hour or so and drink it with dinner. Or make
lemon balm vinegar to use on your salads.
8. Move! Go for a walk, jump rope, swim, or do leg lifts and arm
raises from your bed or wheelchair: however you can do it, do it!
Regular exercise is key.
9. Avoid restrictive diets. Frequent dieting, fasting, binging and
purging imbalance your electrolyte levels, causing weakening of the
heart muscle and damage to the heart.
10. Eat as much as you want of: whole grains, vegetables, beans,
greens, fruits, fish, seeds, and yogurt. Go easy on: nuts, cheese, and
milk.
