#1 Best Meal to Prevent a Heart Attack and Stroke: Synopsis
In this insightful video, Dr. Eric Berg reveals the single most effective meal to combat the leading causes of heart attacks and strokes—clot formation. With a staggering 80-90% of heart attacks due to clots, understanding the underlying causes is crucial. Dr. Berg explores how dormant pathogenic microbes, excess iron, and stress can disrupt normal clotting processes, leading to serious cardiovascular issues.
The star of the show is a nutrient-packed meal centered around wild-caught salmon, known for its high omega-3 fatty acid content which helps prevent clotting. Pair this with a salad featuring arugula and beets for their nitric oxide benefits, along with extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar to enhance heart health. Adding garlic, sauerkraut, and polyphenol-rich dark chocolate rounds out the meal, effectively reducing inflammation and supporting overall cardiovascular wellness.
Finish with a brief post-meal walk to boost nitric oxide levels. This video not only shares delicious meal ideas but empowers viewers to take charge of their heart health naturally.

Did you know that clots cause 80%-90% of heart attacks and 87%-91% of strokes? This is why the top foods for stroke and heart attack prevention also help clean your arteries.
Typically, when a clot forms, it dissolves within minutes or hours. This is a normal survival mechanism and does not cause heart attacks or strokes. When the normal clotting process becomes dysfunctional, you can develop blocked arteries.
Dysfunctional clotting typically starts from a leak in your gums or gut when endotoxins enter the body. Excess iron can contribute to the problem. Pathogens need iron to survive. Excessive free iron can feed and amplify endotoxins, thereby awakening dormant pathogenic microbes.
Excess iron typically comes from fortified foods, such as bread, pasta, cereal, and ultra-processed carbs. If you need iron, it’s best to get it from red meat rather than a supplement. Stress increases adrenaline, which can amplify the effects of pathogens and cause them to consume more iron.
The following factors can cause issues in the gut, which can in turn affect the clotting process and contribute to blocked arteries:
•Gluten
•Alcohol
•Smoking
•Seed oils
•Ultra-processed foods
•NSAIDs
•Antibiotics
To prevent a heart attack naturally, try the following meal. It’s composed of the best foods for clogged arteries!
•Wild-caught salmon or fatty fish
•Salad: Arugula, beets, extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar
•Garlic
•Sauerkraut
•Green or black tea
•Dark chocolate
After the meal, go for a 10-20 minute post-meal walk, focusing on nasal breathing.
