Friday Favorites: How to Reverse Heart Failure with Diet

  • An entire issue of a cardiology journal dedicated to plant-based nutrition explores the role an evidence-based diet can play in the reversal of congestive heart failure.
    Wait, did I say reverse coronary heart disease? As in reversing the #1 killer of men and women? I’ve got lots of videos on the topic, but How Not to Die from Heart Disease (nutritionfacts...) is a good place to start.

    Doc!! Thank you for sharing these case reports. Some of the results sound remarkably similar to those demonstrated by Drs. Esselstyn and Ornish in their respective long term studies. WFPB has been amazing for me personally. The body fat percentage keeps going down. I've lost 8 kg (17.6 lbs) over the last 2 months, and suddenly old pants fit me. WFPB Low Fat for the last couple of months, but vegan for 4 years. Gotta keep tightening that belt. I don't think I've had serious heart disease (except for potentially having fat build up in my system from my pre-vegan years) but glad to be reminded of the cardiovascular benefits as well.

    • @thanhdang2546
      @thanhdang2546 Год назад

      I wonder what type of heart failure you had-- ischemic (weak heart muscle due to clogged arteries) or non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (weak heart muscle due to lack of heart nutrients--coq10, carnitine and taurine, virus infection, toxic chemical, alcohol abuse, etc.). The two cases presented here are ischemic HF. I believe that plant-based diet is helpful for ischemic HF because it improves blood flow to the heart muscles but may make non-ischemic worse because of the decrease of heart nutrients in the food. Thanks in advance.

    Asking people to make tiny changes to their behavior results in less change than if you asked for big changes. People are more likely to exercise for 10 minutes a day if you say they should exercise for 30 minutes than if you say to aim for 10. It's like haggling. Ask for your ideal and expect them to meet you halfway. Don't begin by asking for the bare minimum because you're afraid if you ask for too much you'll put them off.

    Shouldn't this data be filtered to look at if individuals were active exercises or not? I would imagine sedentary people are the most at risk with a meat diet. While active people in sports and daily exercise maybe not. Though, to be fair, this episode is looking at people with heart disease, which are generally very inactive people. So, I get the want to put them on a plant diet for fast results.

      And I mean, not to pass judgement or anything but you're trying to disprove plant based eating while on your channel you do reviews for energy drinks and unhealthy animal products like bacon and burgers. You're also subscribed to Dr. Eric Berg who is... questionable at best. The Dr. who claims that "saturated fats are healthy."
      I just recently spent 2 months and 10 days in the hospital and I had numerous nutritionists tell me that I needed dairy or an animal product of some kind. I've been vegan for 3 years and was vegan throughout that whole ordeal. I'm back to my normal/healthy weight after losing around 50 pounds since November. So, I had nutritionists telling me to take animal products and a doctor who flat out told me they knew "next to nothing about nutrition" and told me they ate Burger King that day and KFC the day before, telling me I shouldn't be vegan and eat a plant based diet. Like I said, after a horrible stay in the hospital(due to length and severity of my issues, the staff for the most part were phenomenal and kind hearted people so it's nothing to do with them) I am back to my healthy weight, getting proper plant based nutrition, attending PT due to being cachectic in ICU, and not only getting my life back but starting a new life that I never had.

    Humm and why is it only humans and our pets have diet related metabolic dysfunction and disease none of the other animals on the planet contend with diet related dysfunction and disease.
    Other animals havent fuked with nature and invented agriculture turning things like grain into pure fuel just like processed sugar and refined seeds into oils then made complete food industries of processed foods just based on those plant based ingredients.
    Go to the center of any grocery store grab a package and read the back and you will find with certainty 70% of the ingredients are made from grain, sugar and seed oils because 70% of the American diet is comprised of these things. High fructose corn syrup was one of my favorites considering i drank at least a 6 pack of Mountain Dew a day. The only reason im still here was because i have always been somewhat active. I did not eat that much animal products it was mostly the grain based garbage. I loved everything made out of bread especially and cereal, rice, beans, chips i ate salad and vegetables on occasion and animal products on occasion but most of my calories were coming from carbs and i ended up pre diabetic with high blood pressure. Then in 11 October of 2021 on a Monday I quit the sugar, starch and grain as well as high glycemic vegetables and fruit and started a diet of primarily meat, fish, eggs and low glycemic vegetables and fruit. Started exercising 3 days a week for 1.25 hours at the gym doing a non stop moderate heart rate circuit and a walk run interval at a local park of around 3 miles/40 minutes the other 3 days. Its been 1.75 years ago and i have maintained my weight and my labs at every 6 months have me in my late 40s instead of 57 which is what I am now.
    There are more and more people daily finding out we have all been lied to about what is and isnt healthy and from my own experience eating meat and eliminating the high glycemic carbs is why i lost the weight so fast. I list 40 lbs in 3 months.
    The human digestive system and body is not built to eat excessive carbs we only possess 600 grams which is roughly 2400 calories of glycose/glycogen storage and once the storage is full the extra glycose we eat is converted to triglycetides/fat for fuel and storage.
    More importantly at rest and during low level activity as shown in a metabolic chamber we burn mostly fat. Only during high intensity exercise do we burn mostly carbs.
    So it makes zero sense we would be fueling ourselves with the fuel we only use primarily to escape predators. Our body is built to primarily burn fat. Only the brain and blood cells require glucose even the heart itselfs fuel is triglycerides/fat.
    Its the combination of too much pure sugar and too much pure fat and not enough movement/exercise that is causing our metabolic and disease issues. This goes back to humans inventing agriculture and refining grain into flour and cane and beets into sugar. You cannot combine these things with fat or you create dysfunction. Before agriculture humans were hunter gathers relying primarily on animals and roots for food. That is a far cry from pure grain/flour, sugar and oil. Once you strip away the fiber you create the foundation of metabolic dysfunction and disease be it combined with seed oil or be it with animal fat it still creates the same problem.
    Hence why i choose to eliminate the processed grain, starchy vegetables like potatoes and sugars from my diet and stick with what nature created not humans and science frankenstein of processing.

      ​@@GregariousAntithesis no, based on "vegan logic" we wouldn't be feeding them at all because they themselves are a product of exploitation. These animals are born and bred to be exploited and killed so ideally we wouldn't be feeding them anything because they wouldn't be bred for selfish gain. But to answer the other part, your claim that grain makes them fat and not the steroid hormone drugs is just flat out incorrect. Ironically, this is coming from the North American Meat Institute, "Cattle are fed grains like corn because they are nutritious, energy-rich, and can be stored for use throughout the year."
      If you fed them loads of saturated fat, chances are they'd just die or get sick before the slaughter process and it would negatively impact the "quality of the meat." I really hate talking about animals as if they were objects but people choose to still consume dairy and meat and that's what they refer to them as, sadly.
