Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease
by Caldwell B. Esselstyn Jr. (Jan 31, 2008)
DO NOT EAT COCONUT OIL!
It's very high in saturated fat. You might as well be eating butter.
Healthy nuts, like almonds and walnuts, have been shown to increase HDL, which removes plaque from the arteries.
But you should still lower your overall oil consumption (as oil is so calorie dense a few extra tablespoons a day will make you fat...and that fat will add to arterial plaque).
Fiber helps a lot to lower your cholesterol. So eat oatmeal. But don't overload it with sugar as pure sugars will damage your arteries with inflammation which will cause blood clots and more plaque to form (but fruits like blueberries are okay, actually they're beneficial).
Dr. Esselstyn (a former heart surgeon) has been the only doctor to prove his diet is capable of "dissolving arterial plaques" by using MRI scans on his patients.
Read his book if you are serious about your heart health.
