Arteries

[willsie01]

Following a triple bypass I’ve become a Vegan for health reasons. It is claimed that blocked arteries become unblocked after switching from a meat dairy diet. I’m wondering how long this would take and how I could get it checked out?

Hi here is what viva says about heart disease and the vegan diet which you may be interested in.

An angiogram would be the test for blocked arteries. I’m no doctor but I’d say the first thing you would probably see after becoming vegan would be a lower blood pressure reading. I expect after having a triple bypass they will be monitoring you closely and hopefully your results will speak for themselves so it would be great to hear how things go moving forward. Good luck with it as I think going vegan is one of the best decisions for your health, particularly in your situation.

It’s a curious fact that my BP has always been very good. Even when my blocked arteries were diagnosed! It’s why the news was such a big shock to me. Even the cardiologists weren’t expecting my problem to be heart related until it was confirmed by an angiogram.

Oh right, well then it goes to show you never really know. I bet it was a shock.

What was your diet like before changing to plant base?

[willsie01 in reply to Agoodenough]

Diet nondescript. Wife and I work long hours. No time to cook proper meals in general. Although we tried to make good choices. Diet not great relying a lot on ready made meals. Though we always chose the “healthy” ranges. Low fat cheeses etc. Both were meat and dairy eaters. Wife still is.

Interesting question, willsie01. 👍

. . . How long would it take for blocked arteries to become unblocked after switching from a meat dairy diet to a vegan diet?

(I’d like to learn the answer too. 🤔 )

Is it similar to a how-long-is-a-piece-of-string type of question ( en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/ho... )?

Given the numerous variables (age, health condition(s), lifestyle, actual foods/ beverages routinely ingested, exercise habits, stressors & ability to manage stress, emotional/ psychological well being, etc.) are difficult (maybe impossible?) to accurately guesstimate for each individual or group/ demographic? 🤔 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♀️

If there is some group/ demographic stats, maybe they’ll show up in a search 🔎 ?

Typed in the query “How long does it take to unblock arteries after switching to a vegan diet?” into google search 🔎 & these results display: google.com/search?as_q=How+...

Hope 🤞 it’ll help ‘home in’ on some useful estimates.

Your medical team 👩‍⚕️ 👨‍⚕️ should be able to do the appropriate medical testing 💉 🧪 📊 to reveal the improvements — the unblocking of arteries — as they monitor you? 🤔

Jim & Jack’s experiences (in videos below*) share their physician’s testing (& test results) as well as their physician’s astonishment 😯 at Jim & Jack’s remarkable improvements! (All from implementing a plant-based/ vegan diet. 👍👍)

Merely supplemental suggestion:

Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn’s ( google.com/search?as_q=Dr.+... ) work is respected/ reputable for people looking to improve their heart ♥️ health — particularly people with severe heart 💔 issues.

Maybe his free 🆓 resources ( dresselstyn.com/resolving_c... , ) would be a good starting point to try to ‘zero in’ on an answer to your specific query, willsie01?

Maybe Dr. Esselstyn has a ballpark timeframe noted somewhere? 🤔

Also, if you’re fortunate enough to have vegan/ plant-based-savvy medics 👩‍⚕️ 👨‍⚕️ on your medical team, they’d likely be a good resource to query about timeframes. 👍

Wishing you the very best in finding an answer, willsie01. 😌 🙏 🍀 🌺 🌞
