LET'S HEART DISEASE IS THE
LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR MEN
AND WOMEN.
EATING RIGHT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE
EXPENSIVE.
YOU ARE ASKING PEOPLE TO MAKE
THIS CHANGE.
YOU ARE SPEAKING FOR IT
PERSONALLY.
TELL US WHY YOU ARE TELLING
PEOPLE TO EAT HEALTHIER.
ABOUT SIX YEARS AGO
WHEN I
TURNED 40, I HAD A HEART ATTACK
ON THE WAY TO WORK.
I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE STUMBLED
INTO THE EMERGENCY ROOM.
THE NURSES PUT ON EKG READS.
IT WAS FRIGHTENING.
IT WAS A FRIGHTENING EVENT.
I LOOK AT THE RESEARCH BEHIND
HEART DISEASE.
PEOPLE WOULD THINK YOU WOULD
KNOW ABOUT BEING HEALTHY.
WHAT WERE YOU DOING THAT WASN'T
HEALTHY QUESTION MARK I WAS
EATING MORE PROCESSED FOODS.
I THINK THAT LED TO SOME
UNHEALTHY BEHAVIORS.
YOU ARE ADVOCATING A
PLANT-BASED DIET.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
ONE WAY TO LOOK AT IT IS
EATING LESS MEAT AND EATING MORE
VEGETABLES AND MORE COLORFUL
FOODS.
THE KIND OF FOODS YOU SEE AT A
FARMERS MARKET.
YOU ARE SWAPPING
OUT THE REFINED
FOODS FOR MORE HEALTHY FOODS.
LET'S TAKE IT DOWN.
WHAT CAN WE DO TO REPLACE MEAT?
THAT IS A GOOD POINT.
THERE IS PLENTY OF PROTEIN IN A
VEGETABLES.
BEANS, TOFU,
TEMPE, THERE IS
PROTEIN IN ALMOST EVERY
VEGETABLE.
THERE IS PROTEIN AND SPINACH AND
BROCCOLI.
KALE AS WELL.
SOME PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO
GIVE UP MILK.
WHAT CAN THEY DO TO REPLACE COWS
MILK?
ONE CAN HAVE ALMOND MILK, SOY
MILK, THERE ARE VARIOUS KINDS OF
RICE MILK.
I WOULD TAKE A LOOK AT THE SUGAR
CONTENT MAKE SURE THERE ISN'T
TOO MUCH SUGAR.
WE ARE TALKING
ABOUT
REPLACEMENTS FOR OIL.
APPLESAUCE, THERE ARE PLENTY
OF PRODUCTS OUT THERE.
JUST USING SOME APPLESAUCE WILL
PROVIDE THE MOISTURE YOU NEED IN
BAKING.
SUGAR?
THAT'S A TRICKY ONE.
I THINK YOU CAN GET SWEETER
RODDICK'S BY USING -- PRODUCTS
BY USING FRUIT.
THERE ARE PRODUCTS LIKE AGAVE
NECTAR.
YOU CAN USE SMALL QUANTITIES OF
IT.
IT'S VERY SWEET RED --.
YOU
COULD USE VEGETABLE BROTH IF YOU
ARE SAUTEING.
YOU COULD USE RED WINE.
WHAT ABOUT EGGS?
A LOT OF PEOPLE LOVE THEIR EGGS.
YOU CAN USE FLAXSEED THAT CAN
BE GROUND.
YOU CAN EVEN BUY IT GROUND AS
POWDER.
THERE IS A PRODUCT CALLED
ENERGIZER.
THAT IS AN AGRI-PLACE BEEN AND
IT'S AVAILABLE AT NATIONAL FOOD
STORES.
WHAT SALAD DRESSING?
YOU COULD
USE VINEGAR,
BALSAMIC VINEGAR ARE IN YOU CAN
MAKE YOUR OWN SALAD DRESSING.
YOU CAN MIX PROPORTIONS OF
VINEGAR WITH SOME LEMON JUICE
AND DIFFERENT KINDS OF FRUIT
VINEGARS.
I HATE TO GIVE THE RECIPE ON THE
AIR.
THERE ARE PLENTY OF RECIPES ON
LINE.
MEATLESS MONDAYS COULD BE A
GOOD OPTION TO START WITH?
I WOULD RECOMMEND SWITCHING
TO MEATLESS MONDAYS.
CUT OUT THE PROCESSED MEAT.
YOU CAN EXPAND TO TWO DAYS A
WEEK AND THREE DAYS A WEEK.
