Dr. Oz is a cardiac surgeon, first and foremost. It was only after twenty years of seeing serious damage to the hearts and circulatory system of women that he wants to share his hopes for preventing invasive surgical procedures.

He recommends screening tests and Lifestyle changes to prevent the necessity of going under the knife.

Dr. Oz and Women’s Heart Health from the OR

Big Daddy and the Doc tried to build a meal for the heart with one dish, but I prefer to make several dishes to enjoy the entire process of eating a variety of heart-healthy foods. However, it’s fantastic to see Oz bringing some Food Network talent to his stage!

Beans, sweet potatoes, and a few other foods are on his List of suggestions. Stretching daily and other gentle exercises make a difference. He also offers a 28 Day Plan to reduce your risks.

You would be smart to avoid processed foods, unhealthy oils, and excess table salt. Sea Salt, organic produce and whole foods, and whole grains with beans or legumes play a key role in improving heart health.

You really can benefit from spending some time with holistic providers who can guide your nutritional needs, your psychological needs, and your other biological markers that matter in matters of the heart.

A hot sauce with chili peppers and garlic is one of the Oz favorite condiments along with his recommendation of kidney beans and sweet potatoes while including black currant juice. There are many other foods and spices and herbs that are even more powerful.

The more you can accept ‘what is’ and allow others the freedom ‘to be ‘without creating Stress in your Life, when Joy returns you will notice your heart health improving, too.

Eat well, Love well, and know the joy of living…
