Episode notes
Cut Ultra‑Processed Carbs
- Avoid ultra-processed carbohydrates like cereals, breads, and pastas because they rapidly damage arteries.
- Replace them with whole foods on the 'safe' side of the table to reduce plaque risk.
Choose Nutrient‑Dense Foods
- Add healthy fats and nutrient-dense foods like avocados, salmon, sardines, and cruciferous vegetables to your diet.
- Persist with acquired tastes and cook or prepare vegetables to reduce bloating and maximize benefit.
Fish Beats Raw Seed Omega‑3s
- Fish like salmon and small oily fish provide important omega-3s despite concerns about farming or contaminants.
- Plant sources like flax require grinding and conversion and are less efficient at supplying EPA/DHA.
