1. 0:00let's talk about the best meal that you
2. 0:04could eat to help reduce plaquing in
3. 0:08your arteries or even help prevent
4. 0:11cardiovascular disease now I've done a
5. 0:13lot of videos on what to avoid to
6. 0:15prevent heart disease today I'm going to
7. 0:18primarily focus on what to eat okay but
8. 0:22we first have to give you a little
9. 0:23background of what is going on behind
10. 0:26the scenes as far as a cardiovascular
11. 0:28disease and primarily we're going to
12. 0:30talk about plaque now what is in plaque
13. 0:33plaque is a combination of calcium
14. 0:35protein and cholesterol many times the
15. 0:38calcium is the result of biofilms so
16. 0:42what's the biofilm it's a colony of
17. 0:43microbes that these microbes have built
18. 0:46these little calcium igloos or shells to
19. 0:49protect themselves so they can go
20. 0:50underneath the radar so when you see
21. 0:52calcium plaque in the arteries
22. 0:54underneath that plaquin there could be a
23. 0:56microbial community and biofilms 10 to
24. 1:00accumulate on roughened edges right if
25. 1:04the arteries were nice and smooth and
26. 1:06strong they probably would never
27. 1:07accumulate on the arteries but the
28. 1:09question is what causes them to get
29. 1:11stuck on the inside of the artery wall
30. 1:13and your coronary artery for example
31. 1:14well that would be some type of um I
32. 1:18call that lesion or oxidation or
33. 1:20inflammation or damage from you know
34. 1:23excessive sugar in the diet it could be
35. 1:25your diabetic you could be a
36. 1:27pre-diabetic it could come from omega-6
37. 1:30fatty acids junk Foods alcohol all sorts
38. 1:33of things so when you see plaquing
39. 1:35you're also going to see this LDL a very
40. 1:38specific kind the small dense particle
41. 1:41size and that's correlated too with a
42. 1:44high sugar high carb diet and some of
43. 1:47this cholesterol in this little package
44. 1:49and that's what the LDL is It's A
45. 1:51protein that carries cholesterol
46. 1:53cholesterol doesn't exist as cholesterol
47. 1:55in the arteries like free-floating it's
48. 1:58always in a little shuttle bus but the
49. 2:01cholesterol is coming in the form of
50. 2:02Band-Aid with this cement the the
51. 2:05calcium and then also you're going to
52. 2:07get a fibrous tissue like a protein seen
53. 2:10cement that kind of mixes in with the
54. 2:12calcium and the cholesterol as a
55. 2:14Band-Aid and then you'll see like um a
56. 2:17thrombus or a clot forming two in that
57. 2:19same area so given that information what
58. 2:21can we do to prevent slow down or
59. 2:24reverse this situation all right there's
60. 2:26several things to know about this um one
61. 2:29of the controlling vitamins with calcium
62. 2:31is vitamin K2 vitamin K2 drives the
63. 2:34calcium into the bone without enough K2
64. 2:37calcium tends to develop in the soft
65. 2:41tissues of the body not just your
66. 2:43arteries but also in the joints as well
67. 2:46and there's one more point about
68. 2:47biofilms there's some interesting things
69. 2:49about biofilms especially when we're
70. 2:51dealing with plaquing in your arteries
71. 2:53there's several studies that I found
72. 2:55that links periodontal
73. 2:58bacteria the bacteria in your mouth this
74. 3:03pathogenic bacteria actually ending up
75. 3:06in the plaquing in your arteries I mean
76. 3:09that's interesting because what are
77. 3:11these uh periodontal
78. 3:13bacteria they're pathogenic they're in
79. 3:15your mouth doing in your heart okay now
80. 3:19you have to realize like in the mouth
81. 3:21you have over 700 different species okay
82. 3:25not just bacteria but different types of
83. 3:28bacteria in your mouth and one of the
84. 3:30reasons why the bacteria can actually go
85. 3:33through the pores uh through your gums
86. 3:36and into your bloodstream is the same
87. 3:38reason why bacteria can leak from your
88. 3:42intestines into your bloodstream that's
89. 3:44called bacterial translocation where
90. 3:47bacteria is moving through the wall they
91. 3:50might get bleeding gums so that allows
92. 3:52the microbes to go right through these
93. 3:54little holes into your bloodstream so
94. 3:56high vitamin C foods are definitely
95. 3:59necessary for this meal so foods with
96. 4:02large amounts of vitamin C would also be
97. 4:05a good thing then we have vitamin E okay
98. 4:08vitamin E in relationship to keeping
99. 4:10your cardiovascular system intact is
100. 4:13very very important first of all it
101. 4:16helps prevent those lesions on the
102. 4:18inside of the um the wall of the artery
103. 4:20called endothelial tissue when you're
104. 4:23low in vitamin E which is a very
105. 4:24powerful antioxidant you can get a lot
106. 4:27of oxidation and inflammation so vitamin
107. 4:30E is very important also it's important
108. 4:33in the heart muscle itself keeping your
109. 4:35oxygen high and preventing an actual
110. 4:38heart attack so we have vitamin K2 very
111. 4:40important vitamin C very important and
112. 4:43vitamin E and the other important thing
113. 4:45with the heart especially to avoid that
114. 4:49lesion in the artery is to keep your
115. 4:52omega-6 fatty acids very low and keep
116. 4:55your omega-3 very very high so a really
117. 4:58important thing in this meal should be
118. 5:00omega-3 fatty acids okay all right so
119. 5:03what should this Meal look like well
120. 5:05let's start from the top
121. 5:07omega-3 fatty acids okay what food is
122. 5:10very very high in omega-3 and that would
123. 5:12be wild caught salmon so if you include
124. 5:16salmon in this meal okay you're going to
125. 5:18have a good amount of omega-3 fatty
126. 5:21acids which is going to support the
127. 5:22arteries as well as the heart muscle
128. 5:24itself and having enough omega-3 will
129. 5:28decrease your inflammation as well in
130. 5:30your arteries and doing that can
131. 5:33actually lower blood pressure as well
132. 5:34all right there's something else that I
133. 5:37think is very very important in
134. 5:39preventing and even maybe reversing some
135. 5:42of this plaquing in the arteries this
136. 5:43thing has like seven times the
137. 5:46requirements of vitamin C it also is one
138. 5:49of the most microbial dense foods that
139. 5:51you can eat giving you a strong
140. 5:54probiotic effect with high levels of
141. 5:58lactic acid bacterium now let me just
142. 6:01kind of discuss lactic acid bacteria
143. 6:03it's not just one bacteria it's a group
144. 6:05of many different types of bacteria that
145. 6:08is usually involved in fermentation and
146. 6:10so the food that I'm talking about is
147. 6:13sauerkraut okay that is a fermented
148. 6:15cabbage product and sauerkraut is loaded
149. 6:19with this lactic acid bacteria and
150. 6:21lactic acid bacteria as a standalone
151. 6:24thing is very interesting because it can
152. 6:25act as an Ace inhibitor to help lower
153. 6:28blood pressure it can inhibit biofilms
154. 6:32which is very very cool it can decrease
155. 6:34the risk of cardiovascular disease by
156. 6:37supporting your gut there is a huge
157. 6:40relationship between a healthy gut
158. 6:43with the right microbes and a healthy
159. 6:46heart also this lactic acid bacteria can
160. 6:49help regulate LDL cholesterol especially
161. 6:52the small dense particle size LDL and
162. 6:56having enough of this lactic acid
163. 6:57bacteria can enhance your production of
164. 7:02secondary bile salts which can help the
165. 7:05absorption of more vitamin E
166. 7:09vitamin D
167. 7:11and vitamin K2 all three of those are
168. 7:14fat soluble and can greatly support the
169. 7:17cardiovascular tissue and it just so
170. 7:19happens that sauerkraut is loaded with
171. 7:21vitamin K2 now normally vitamin K2 is in
172. 7:25like certain hard cheeses fats but
173. 7:30microbes can also make k2 just to
174. 7:33summarize what sauerkraut is it's a
175. 7:35superfood for the heart it supports the
176. 7:38gut lining to prevent this these
177. 7:41microbes from traveling through a leaky
178. 7:42gut up into the heart it has many
179. 7:45different diverse types of microbial
180. 7:47entities that can greatly help you in
181. 7:51many different ways and then sauerkraut
182. 7:53is loaded with vitamin K2 to keep the
183. 7:55calcium out of the arteries it's loaded
184. 7:56with vitamin C like I said before seven
185. 7:59times the RDA so that gives you a
186. 8:02tremendous amount of vitamin C that can
187. 8:04directly inhibit biofilms as well as act
188. 8:08as an antioxidant in your arteries
189. 8:09preventing these lesions or damage to
190. 8:12the wall of the arteries remember the
191. 8:14biofilms can only stick to an area
192. 8:16that's roughened or irritated so if your
193. 8:19arteries are smooth they can't quite
194. 8:21stick to the inside of your arteries to
195. 8:23form the plaquing in the first place in
196. 8:25the last part of this meal is a big
197. 8:27arugula salad with several things in it
198. 8:30which I'm going to cover but arugula as
199. 8:34a vegetable is a superior salad green
200. 8:36compared to regular lettuce because
201. 8:38first of all it's cruciferous so it's
202. 8:40really good for the liver it's bitter it
203. 8:42has blood glucose lowering properties
204. 8:44it's loaded with something called dim
205. 8:47which can help lower biofilms directly
206. 8:51it also has fiber the feed the bacteria
207. 8:54and it's also loaded in potassium which
208. 8:57can help keep the arteries softened so
209. 9:00your blood pressure can stay normal and
210. 9:03then of course on that salad I would put
211. 9:05extra virgin olive oil the real stuff it
212. 9:07has significant effects on blood
213. 9:10pressure not to mention it has a very
214. 9:12powerful anti-inflammatory effects as
215. 9:14well then it would also add apple cider
216. 9:16vinegar but you can also use balsamic
217. 9:18vinegar red but the acetic acid in the
218. 9:21vinegar has many properties to help
219. 9:24lowering the risk of cardiovascular
220. 9:25disease it's great for helping regulate
221. 9:28your blood sugar it can help regulate
222. 9:30your cholesterol it can help mobilize
223. 9:33your bile salts and it has
224. 9:35anti-inflammatory properties and then if
225. 9:37you add sunflower seeds okay we can
226. 9:41Spike more vitamin E and like I said
227. 9:43before vitamin E is very very important
228. 9:45now the next thing I'm going to talk
229. 9:47about is a hard cheese okay hard cheeses
230. 9:49are loaded with vitamin K2
231. 9:51and the type of choose I would recommend
232. 9:54is called parmigiano now I probably did
233. 9:58not pronounce that exactly like I should
234. 10:00but the American translation from
235. 10:03Italian is parmesan but apparently
236. 10:06there's been a lot of lawsuits involving
237. 10:07this topic because apparently craft
238. 10:11trademarked this English translation
239. 10:15from the real parmesan cheese in Italy
240. 10:18because the real parmigiano version of
241. 10:21that cheese is only produced by a
242. 10:24collective group of farmers in Northern
243. 10:27Italy
244. 10:28that keep their standards very very high
245. 10:32and this has been going on since the
246. 10:33Middle Ages it wasn't until only fairly
247. 10:36recently that Kraft came in there and
248. 10:38started to make it but unfortunately
249. 10:39there's a big difference in how they
250. 10:42make it in America versus how they make
251. 10:43it uh in Italy in Italy they age it for
252. 10:47like one to three years compared to in
253. 10:51America I think they age it for 10
254. 10:53months and the crafts version of this
255. 10:55cheese definitely does not have to abide
256. 10:58by the same policies and rules and laws
257. 11:01then the authentic cheese in Italy has
258. 11:03to abide by and the other thing you have
259. 11:04to watch out for in this Americanized
260. 11:06parmesan cheese is that sometimes they
261. 11:10add this filler of cellulose okay which
262. 11:14is wood pulp so what I would recommend
263. 11:16is get the authentic type from Italy and
264. 11:21shave it on your salad I do it every
265. 11:23single day that way you have a delicious
266. 11:25cheese that's loaded with vitamin K2 and
267. 11:28it's great amount of protein there's
268. 11:31probiotics in this product and it's an
269. 11:34incredible product I actually went to
270. 11:35one of the Farms where they create this
271. 11:37cheese and I was blown away at what they
272. 11:41feed the cows to make sure the microbes
273. 11:43are just right and the soils that they
274. 11:46grow the grass on for the cows they
275. 11:49don't get fed grain it's all grass and
276. 11:52the amount of work that goes in to make
277. 11:53this cheese and keep it a really
278. 11:55standard process
279. 11:57is mind-blowing and the last thing I'm
280. 12:00going to recommend to put on your salad
281. 12:01is garlic okay you can use powder you
282. 12:04can use actual garlic you can use
283. 12:06fermented garlic but garlic is great for
284. 12:08the heart it actually can thin the blood
285. 12:11if there's a chance that you are high
286. 12:14risk for clotting it can help lower your
287. 12:16blood pressure it's antimicrobial
288. 12:19anti-biofilm and the list goes on and on
289. 12:23all right so now that you have that
290. 12:24information I think the best most
291. 12:27interesting next video for you to watch
292. 12:29would be the one on biofilms in your
293. 12:32mouth check it out I put it right here
