I absolutely love Uncle Sam Cereal. It's packed with dietary fiber and mixed with flaxseeds high in Omega-3's, so it's good for your heart. It actually tastes pretty good too!

Good foods including virgin olive oil, sardines and steel cut oatmeal seem to be good for the heart. After 1 year I have good numbers, instead of bad when I had my 1st heart attack at age 53,

I was able to drop my total colestral level from 210 to 162 by eating cheerios, nuts and cutting down on fatty foods

Salmon, Mackeral and my ‘fav’ Sardines. All rich in Omega-3 proven by a New England Journal of Medicine study to significantly lower triglyceride levels in high-risk patients in two weeks! Four ounces (coincidently the content of a can of sardines) 2X week and your on the road to recovery.
Full-fragrance of these miracle-workers may be off-putting for some land-lovers. Squeeze ¼ lemon and will knock-back both fragrance and taste intensity.

Q. How do they get those little bones out?

A. They don’t. Fish are pre-steamed in inverted cans and then cooked again after tops are seamed on for indefinite storage. Bones disintegrate and are a total daily allowance of (natural) calcium!

Another super-food correctly identified in this article is olive oil, so be sure to purchase sardines packed in this miracle source. Devote gourmands sip the olive oil from the container to enjoy this equally important health benefit.
Portable late-afternoon ‘snack’ will beat-back any dinner ‘binging’ as olive oil is a proven, natural, appetite suppressant.
Need any additional motivation? Most sardines are packed in (tin plated: a.k.a. ‘tin cans’) steel which is removed from most municipal waste-streams magnetically and recycled at a rate of 67%.
Sooooo, save yourself and the environment!
Have a happy and HEALTHY New Year!

They're good for your heart, and they make you smart ...

This is basically my diet, except I don't bother with EVOO. A friend in Chicago is a wholesale importer of olive oil, and I get drums and casks of cheap oleo oleum.

Not foods - but COQ10 (ubiquinol type) significantly strengthens the heart muscle with no negative side effect - couple with 400 units of natural mixed tocopherols vitamin E. and you will be diong your heart a great favor.

Add pomegranite juice - It actually removes plaque from your arteries - nothing else commonly known does this including the misleading claims of some prescription drugs.

All good but make sure the salmon is WILD CAUGHT - the farm raised is LOADED with PCBs and lots of other bad stuff. (doesn't even tast right.) Safflower (not sunflower) has an even better ratio of Mono to Poly unsaturated fats than olive oil, cheaper too, if you can find it.
