This knowledge is absolutely needed to keep you healthy and minimize the risk of cancer, stroke and heart attack. The ability to know the best food guidance will not only beneficial to prevent you from any disease but it is also the most potent power to heal your organs and to overcome obesity or to reduce extra weight from your body.
Those diseases are caused by the narrowing of blood arteries or coronary artery in the heart, artery to the brain and other parts of the body. The narrowing arteries that are caused by atherosclerosis or plaque will make you suffering blood circulation problem. This plaque is formed from LDL cholesterol, arachidonic acid, toxic waste from the cell metabolism and calcium. Some people say, we are what we eat. That is right, the quality and the quantity of what we eat and drink will determine our health.
The narrowing of blood vessels and arteries by plaque or atherosclerosis is caused by food intake which is rich in trans fatty acids, saturated animal fat, sugar and other high glycemic carbohydrates. If we consume high calorie food which is more than our body needs then the extra calories will be stored by our body in the form of fat under our skin, around our vital organs like lungs, heart, and liver and also inside our arteries. According to studies, it has been proved that the fatty streaks in the blood vessel that caused atherosclerosis can be found as early in life as infancy. Our abdomen, thighs and waist measures will get larger because of extra stored fat. The plaque accumulation firstly clings around the wall of coronary arteries and the blood vessel to our brain. That is why the most common diseases that jeopardizes us are stroke and heart attack.
The deposited fats around our body and organs will not only spoil our appearance but also can make us more difficult to move or even breathe. We may become easy to get tired and lazy. This condition stimulates additional problems so that we can easily getting heavier and fatter. Our fatty liver will disturb its main functions to produce the blood cells. The most dangerous type of the extra fat in our body is the atherosclerosis or plaque. It can clog the blood vessels. If the plaque formation blocks the blood flow in the coronary arteries in the heart, you can suffer a heart attack. If it happens in the head or in your brain's blood vessel you will get stroke. The artery plaque may disturb the whole systems of your body. Your blood tension may rise and may make you suffering hypertension. If your tension above 140 (systolic) and 100 (diastolic) without control then you have higher risk to get heart attack, stroke or kidney failure.
If you get heart attack or mild stroke, the cardiologist may conduct a very expensive surgery to correct your blocked coronary arteries. Once your blood vessels blocked 80 to 90 % then you have a sure passport to an early death, heart attack or stroke. The question besides the very expensive surgery “Is there any other way to clean our arteries? How? ”. The answer is yes. If you eat right, you move or exercise right and you sleep right supported with harmonious mind then your arteries can clean themselves. You can cleanse your arteries with your new way of life, a new life style by following the healthy life concept.
Why the former US president, Mr. Bill Clinton must go through a heart surgery? The world knew that Mr. Clinton routinely exercises. He jogged regularly. With his knowledge as an intellectual, he should have also followed the diet guidance. He is not fat. His body is proportional. A sure estimated but scientific guess is probably he follows incorrect or inappropriate diet. It may caused by improper diet, the misleading or wrong eating choice. The pyramid diet, and other high carbohydrate diet, that is followed by millions of people, around the world may not completely correct, it can be a sure way to get heart problem. The diets that are recommended by most cardiologists are high carbohydrates, low proteins and low fat. If you follow this program blindly, you bought a ticket to have heart attack, stroke, or even young mortality.

Meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs & nuts group 2 - 3 serving per day. The next which allow bigger portions are vegetable group 2 - 3 serving, fruit group 2 - 4 serving.
