- Consume a well-balanced diet. Choose whole, organic foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, like l-arginine. Some heart-friendly foods you can eat include:
- Olive oil
- Coconuts and coconut oil
- Organic raw dairy products and eggs
- Avocados
- Raw nuts and seeds
- Organic grass-fed meats
It is best to eat a good portion of your foods raw. Also, be sure to severely limit or eliminate grains and sugar, which are mostly found in processed foods, from your diet.

- Get plenty of high-quality, animal-based omega 3 fats, such as krill oil.
- Drink plenty of fresh, pure water every day.
- Optimize your vitamin D levels through appropriate sun exposure. Many studies have proven the numerous benefits of vitamin D. However, you must first know what your current vitamin D level is. The optimal range is between 50-70 ng/ml, but if you have less-than-optimal heart health, I would recommend 70-100 ng/ml.
- Get enough exercise. It improves not only your blood circulation, but your overall health as well. However, I do not advise doing prolonged, strenuous cardio such as marathon running, as it puts too much strain on your heart. Instead, opt for short-burst, high-intensity exercises like Peak Fitness, which also optimize your human growth hormone (HGH) production.
- Maintain a healthy weight.
- Get plenty of high-quality, restorative sleep.
- Manage your stress.
- Avoid smoking or drinking alcohol excessively.
