Polymeal diet of garlic, chocolate and healing foods blocks heart disease
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Actually, the term "polymeal" is just a new name for an old concept: that of healing foods (or foods as medicine). Healing foods are all the medicine most people need, and foods like garlic, broccoli, red wine, raw nuts and blueberries prevent and even treat most common diseases. Whether you're dealing with cancer, heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, depression, osteoporosis or any other common disease, there's a selection of healing foods that prevents it (or even treats it).
- Scientists claim a diet that includes wine, chocolate, garlic, and other tasty foods can reduce heart disease by 76 percent, and add years to your life.
- The diet, called a 'Polymeal', is most effective for men, adding an average of 6.6 years to life expectancy, compared with men not eating the meal.
- The scientists also said eating the Polymeal will ward off heart disease among men for nine years.
- Women eating the meal can expect their life expectancy to increase by five years and the Polymeal diet can ward off the onset of heart disease by eight years.
- The diet includes consuming fish four times a week, with wine, dark chocolate, fruits, vegetables, almonds and garlic, eaten daily.
- In 2003, researchers indicated a 'Polypill', which included a combination of drugs taken in one dose reduced heart disease by more than 80 percent.
- However, the researchers of the Polymeal study were searching for a more natural non-pharmaceutical safer alternative to the Polypill.
- The scientists say the Polymeal is a safe an tasty means to reduce heart disease and increase life expectancy.
