Here in the US, Pharmacists and the Primary Care Provider (PCP) are the two experts to ask about drug interactions and side affects. A more personal reference is +++ The Pill Book +++

Yes I medication will cause a side effects then they give you another medication to get rid of that side effect causing more and more problems when the main problem could of been fixed with diet.
Just about everything can be fixed with diet and meditation.
It all depends how much you are willing to do.
It's hard, I did it for 2 and half years and motorbike scars I had for 10 years disappeared.

Music is my best cure. If I feel good, all my body feels good as well. Music helps me to cheer up and thus feel healthier. Of course, I can't refuse I care about my health. I try to eat healthy food, and exercise. I follow the Canada Drugs website for different health tips. There are suggestions about healthy foods to help your heart work properly.

My heart healthy diet is the opposite of what most nutritionists tell you to do. But it works for me.

How do I know?

A couple of years ago, a new company bought the shopping cart I use for my www.nortonmusic.com business. They are set up differently from my old cart, but they decided to use two systems.

Unfortunately, they didn't import all the protection the old cart used for their old system. The result was people figured out how to get my software products for free downloading my page, changing the price to zero and submitting the order. The old shopping cart had guards against that.

After 4 days of the technicians not knowing what the problem was (and 4 days of products going out for free), the end advice was to abandon the old system and convert all my products to their system.

I had 550 products at the time, and the conversion took about a half hour per product.

At the same time, my heart felt like it was skipping a beat, so my doc referred me to a heart specialist.

He put a monitor on me 24/7 for over a week, did an ultrasound on my body, put me on a treadmill, and used tracking fluid to make sure the vessels feeding my heart were open.

The end result was my circulatory system, from my heart to the capillaries, was as good as a healthy person 25 years younger than myself. The reason for the heart skips, anxiety.

So what's my diet? (Note, I don't recommend this for anyone else)

In the 1990s, when my father died from an obesity related condition, I went Atkins, and never got out of the induction phase. In other words, a ketogenic diet, now commonly called keto.

I call it lazy keto: Fewer than 20 net carbs per day (net carbs = carbs minus fiber) and over twice as much fat as protein. I take multivitamins to make up for the nutrients this diet doesn't provide.

The fats are mostly dairy, meat, nuts, coconut oil and olive oil. I don't do soy, corn, canola and other seed oils.

I lost 65 pounds, and since I went keto, I got sick only once. On vacation in Vienna, I pigged out on deserts, on the flight home I must have caught the cold. It was mild, one day of sneezing, one day of coughing, and it was done.

Keto seems to work for me. My doctor doesn't like how I'm doing it, but he likes the results. My yearly physical is always 'no problems', the blood tests results are all normal, and I'm on zero medications.

For someone else, keto might be the worst thing they could do. I figure if there was one diet book that worked for everybody, there would only need to be one diet book.

I'm not qualified to give medical advice, and I'm not giving medical advice here. If you decide to try this, you do so at your own risk.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

I believe that, in addition to a balanced diet, it's important to pay attention to the types of foods you choose, especially when it comes to ultra-processed foods.

I totally get the importance of heart-healthy nutrition, especially as we age. Oberheiden has some interesting insights on how certain foods, especially ultra-processed ones, might negatively affect health over time. It’s great you’re thinking ahead and talking to a pro nutritionist - combining expert advice with what you find on sites like Oberheiden could really help protect your heart and overall well-being.

This guy, Dr. Amen has been talking about this from a neuroscience/brain health perspective for years. While not exactly heart-health per-se, there is much overlap.

He talks about blueberries, kale, salmon, olive oil, green tea, raw cacau, folate, exercise, quality sleep and much more.

To be sure, there is a lot of toxic "food" on our local grocery shelves.
