5 Foods You Should Be Eating or Avoiding After A Heart Attack To Save Your Life ......

[monadarling]

Food 1: Almond Butter, Unsalted or soaked Almonds ---This is a food that should be added.

Food 2: Soft or Sugary Drinks ----These should be avoided, or taken out of the diet completely.

Food 3: Red and Black Grapes----This is certainly an addition to any diet. These awesome little fruits contain a chemical called resveratrol. This chemical helps keep the platelets in the blood from sticking together when they should not be sticking together.

Food 4: Salmon Fish -----This is a good food to add. A serving a little bit bigger than a computer mouse is overflowing with omega-3 fatty acids. This awesome acid does the same thing as resveratrol from the grapes – keeps the blood from clotting.

Food 5: Any Highly Processed and/or Refined Grains -----This is a big no-no. Whole wheat grains are the way to go. Whole grains help to lower your weight over time, lower blood pressure, and lower cholesterol. Refined and processed grains have very few of the good benefits that come from eating a whole wheat alternative.

Following these suggestions offer a way to help keep a second heart attack at bay. It may even be the difference between life and death

Thank you, but barley and buckwheat is on the list for no eating when you are gluten free, unfortunately. Everything else, maybe.😀

Buckwheat is gluten free. Oats may affect people who are coeliac. See coeliac.org.uk/gluten-free-....
