Do You Have Heart Disease?

Heart Disease is one scary dude.  Why?  Because it's super silent.  

It's really caused by plaque build-up and vascular constriction in the body's vessels.  

Signs that there is stress on the heart are often overlooked.  They include shortness of breath, digestive problems, and usually left shoulder and arm pain.  

The other day I woke up with my left shoulder aching.  At first, I thought I slept on it wrong and then when it didn't go away I got a little nervous.  So I started checking into heart attack symptoms.  Well, it did resolve itself with some prayer and TLC after a couple of days, but the psychological impact was huge.  

As you most like know, I am a pretty good eater.  Never processed foods, almost always home-made and lots of veggies and some fruits.  The problem is that I do struggle with high cholesterol and I think its because I eat a lot of high-fat foods!  For the most part their healthy high-fat foods, but when guests are in town or I am enjoying a good Shabbat meal with friends, healthy can turn unhealthy fast when I start eating bread made with vegetable oil and deserts packed with animal fats and whole creams!  

My first step in changing up my diet was turning to Celery Juicing (see the blog post below). Why Celery Juice -- it has the highest detoxification and plaque removing properties of any plant.  Secondly,  I looked for foods that work to lower cholesterol and cleanse the arterial system for improved circulation to the heart.  

In my search, I came across this video.  It's a little corny but packed with great information on the top 15 foods that help alter the course of heart disease.  

So, Check it Out!  Also,  watch to the end where they share a great tonic for your heart health!
