Foods for Healthy Heart

Research shows a plant-based diet does not just prevent heart disease, but it can manage and sometimes
even reverse it. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and around the
world. Eating habits and other lifestyle factors play a key role in determining the risk of heart disease.
Pioneering studies by Dean Ornish, MD, Caldwell Esselstyn Jr., MD, and others have shown a low-fat,
plant-based diet, combined with regular exercise and a healthful overall lifestyle, can prevent, delay, and
even reverse heart disease and other cardiovascular events.
