Eating to Save Your Life: High-Risk Heart Disease | Dr. Neal Barnard Live Q&A

The power of food is extraordinary. Every 33 seconds in the U.S. someone will die of cardiovascular disease, but you do not have to be a statistic.

For the first time, groundbreaking research is proving definitively that even patients who already have the disease, as well as those who are at high risk of developing it, can dramatically improve their heart health.

Dr. Neal Barnard discusses the analysis of nearly 2,000 patients and the effect that an infusion of nonanimal foods had on their cardiometabolic function.

The results point directly to the benefit of vegan and vegetarian diets to both prevent and, in many cases, reverse heart disease.

Topic Discussed
- How these findings differ from previous heart disease research
- Alcohol's effect on blood pressure
- Which foods are healthiest for the heart
- The effect of animal protein on heart function
- And more
