Q & A
What is the major reason for heart attacks in the United States according to the video?
-The major reason for heart attacks in the United States is poor diet.
What happens to your arteries when you eat greasy and fatty food?
-When you eat greasy and fatty food, excess fat, cholesterol, and triglycerides start accumulating on the inner walls of the arteries, forming plaque. Over time, this can lead to hardened artery walls and hinder the free flow of oxygen-rich blood, a condition known as atherosclerosis.
How can kimchi help in maintaining heart health?
-Kimchi, a fermented Korean delicacy, has probiotic properties that can reduce fat growth and decrease bad cholesterol and blood sugar levels, thus reducing the chances of clogged arteries.
What is the significance of garlic and onions in the context of heart health as mentioned in the video?
-Garlic and onions, belonging to the alium vegetables category, contain a compound called organ sulfur that helps reduce atherosclerotic stress on arteries, lower blood pressure, cholesterol, inflammation, and platelet clumping in the blood.
Why are flax seeds considered healthy for the heart, and how should they be consumed for better absorption?
-Flax seeds are a great source of fiber, minerals, vitamins, and fats, and contain a lignan compound called SDG that helps lower cholesterol. For better absorption, they should be ground into a powder and can be mixed into baked goods or consumed as flax seed butter.
What are the benefits of olive oil for heart health, and what type should be chosen?
-Olive oil contains monounsaturated fatty acids and polyphenolic compounds that are beneficial for heart health. It is recommended to choose extra virgin olive oil, which is darker in color and indicates it has not been through extensive refining processes.
How can tomatoes contribute to heart health, and what is the effect of combining them with olive oil?
-Tomatoes, particularly when cooked, are a great source of lysine, which can reduce the development of atherosclerosis. Combining tomato sauce with olive oil can further reduce bad cholesterol and boost good cholesterol levels.
What is the role of turmeric in preventing heart disease, and how can it be incorporated into one's diet?
-Turmeric contains a compound called curcumin, which has anti-inflammatory and anti-coagulatory properties and can reduce fatty deposits in arteries. It can be added to various dishes like scrambled eggs, frittatas, tossed veggies, fried rice, and smoothies, or used in curries and lattes.
How does dark chocolate help in maintaining heart health, and what are the recommended guidelines for consumption?
-Dark chocolate can raise nitric oxide levels in arteries, which is beneficial for heart health. It is recommended to consume about 40 grams of dark chocolate with a cocoa percentage of 85% or more, while avoiding white and milk chocolate due to their high sugar content.
What is the advice given in the video for diabetics to safeguard their heart health?
-Diabetics are advised to stay away from high-sugar desserts like cakes and ice creams to protect their heart health. Instead, they can opt for a few squares of dark chocolate with a high cocoa content as a healthier alternative.

more but before let me tell you what
happens to your arteries when you eat
greasy and fatty
food your arteries are the channels that
carry oxygenated blood throughout your
body they're inherently elastic but when
you start eating unhealthy food the
excess fat cholesterol and triglycerides
start accumulating the inner walls of
the arteries it's called
plaque as the plaque starts accumulating
over the years the artery walls Harden
they also hinder the free flow of oxygen
rich blood this is what the doctors
called
atherosclerosis if that happens to some
of the major arteries of your heart or
brain you could be at risk for a heart
attack or a stroke but thankfully
lifestyle modifications like exercise
and healthy eating can prevent and
sometimes even reverse the condition
eager to know what to
eat how about eating a serving of kimchi
every
day this fermented Korean delicacy has
been known for its excellent probiotic
properties for
years research has shown this food to
reduce fat growth scientists found that

ounces of kimchi daily had significantly
less bad cholesterol and decreased blood
sugar
levels this decreases the chances of
clogged arteries kimchi is indeed

vegetables like cabbage carrots radish
cucumber celery eggplant scallions beets
bamboo choots onion ginger and
garlic add salt to the veggies and let

hours they'll start giving off water
that you'll have to drain after 30
minutes now make a mixture of rice flour

coat it on your veggies and put it aside
for fermentation for 3 to 21 days you
