Alternative Therapies to encourage a healthier heart...since more than 35% of all heart attacks and strokes occur in people WITHOUT high cholesterol, Dr. Coehrs says that statins are not necessarily the only answer for individuals concerned about preventing heart attacks or strokes. He explains that a diet that includes plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, olive oil, garlic, and grilled or smoked fish such as salmon or tuna-high in Omega 3 oils-is heart healthy as well as delicious!! If you choose to drink alcohol, red wine has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties that reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Additionally, to stay heart healthy, be sure to keep lean, red meat to a minimum in your diet.
