You have been diagnosed with congestive heart failure.
What NOW?
The #1 thing to reduce is sodium intake. Also, reduce or eliminate animal products. A plant-based diet is best for this condition. <3 Processed foods are not your friend. <3
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a natural antioxidant that helps get rid of the free radicals in your body that destroy cell structures. Vitamin E contains d-alpha tocopherol, which helps strengthen your heart muscles. Some of the best sources for vitamin E are sunflower seeds, almonds, flax seed, olive oil.
Magnesium
Magnesium helps your heart muscles function properly. The daily dose of magnesium you need to maintain a healthy heart is 280 to 400 mg. You can get natural doses of magnesium by consuming whole grains, almonds, pinto beans and green vegetables. Hemp seeds contain 15x the amount of magnesium found in broccoli.
Potassium
When your potassium levels are too low, heart conditions like an arrhythmia can occur. Moringa leaves (powder) contain 4x the amount of potassium in bananas. Hemp seeds are a great source of potassium having 2x the amount of bananas. Avocados have 35% more potassium than bananas and aid in improving the cardiovascular system. Potassium also is found in legumes, almonds, other nuts and many fruits and vegetables.
Vitamin D
Researchers from the Institute of Nutrition and Food Science at the University of Bonn, and the Drug Commission of the German Medical Association in Germany have studied Vitamin D's effectiveness in improving congestive heart failure symptoms. Vitamin D helps minimize swelling and inflammation. Vitamin D also helps minimize fluid retention.
Sun light is the best natural source of Vitamin D. Exposing your face and arms to 15 minutes of sunlight is better than drinking a gallon of milk. High levels of vitamin D can be found in organic mushrooms . <3
Apple cider vinegar also reduces inflammation.
Celery is a great diuretic and an anti inflammatory.
Chlorella and Spirulina have more benefits than I can list <3
Organic tomatoes may be one of the best things for you to eat <3
There are many more foods not mentioned on here that will benefit you greatly. Stick to the organic leafy greens, avoid processed and fried foods containing extra salt, and avoid meat. Get out in that sun every day when possible even if it is a cloudy day. The LIGHT reflects to your skin.
