The Number 1 Thing A Cardiologist Recommends You Avoid Eating For A Healthy Heart

Huff Post  

andresr via Getty Images Everyone seems to have an opinion about how to get — and keep — our hearts healthy. Dr. Rebagay said the number one thing he’d advise his patients to avoid is anything with trans fats, adding that foods high in “very saturated fats, very oily things ― you know, like foods prepared with duck fat ― or things you see on grocery store shelves” can spell trouble for our hearts. “They’re rendered for very delicious meals ― but I can just see the plaque growing in my heart when I see those.” Rebagay acknowledged that most of us will occasionally treat ourselves to something with trans or saturated fats, but he advised us to follow a Mediterranean diet as often as we can. “It’s filled with polyunsaturated fats, healthy, lean protein, predominantly from plant resources, but things like salmon and fatty fishes like that are very important,” he explained. There’s so many things out there that can really help sustain us in a healthy way.” We also chatted with Rebagay about how much we should exercise, which demographics are facing high risk for cardiac disease and the secret to longevity — according to his 85-year-old patients with incredibly healthy hearts.
