like goji berries and bell peppers. this is something that came up in the chocolate research i was doing, they have the same compound that s in chocolate, that s like olive oil, it s a slickening agent for your cardiovascular system, so nothing gets stuck. so we don t get that calcification and that buildup of plaque that is the real culprit behind heart disease and stroke. so really quickly, give me the list. olive oil, chocolate, goji berries, go ahead bell peppers, green, leafy vegetables like kale and spinach? spinach is excellent. that s what we ve been doing with the nutrabullet, getting people to do kale and spinach in their drinks. we ve got to have enough magnesium and potassium for cardiovascular health. so in some ways, we ve inverted the natural relationship. you have to have enough potassium to balance out the sodium. and potassium is super important, it s in all raw foods, and balances out all the sodium we ve had in our life that s been used as a preservative
you have found out in terms of cardiovascular disease and the health of the body and food. one of the things we found out is food can affect your heart and cardiovascular health. and some of the great foods that are out there that do that are common foods that we may have all the time and we should probably up those a little bit more and add in some very important things. so one of the big ones is olive oil. olive oil is heart friendly. we found out in a study last summer, 40,000 people studied in spain, they found out that the lowest heart attack rates and greatest longevity were in that highest fraction of olive oil consumers. so that was one piece of the puzzle. another amazing piece of the puzzle is that the dutch had done a study on chocolate. and this was something you re a man after my own heart! chocolate. i love raw chocolate. it s so great to be talking about raw chocolate here. this is what s been found out. over 15 years, 65 years old, 70, 75, 80. they found out tha
so kale, parsley, celery, even common lettuces, because of their magnesium content, that chloroform content that builds blood and transforms the cardiovascular system. i have a question for you right here. i m thinking olive oil. i m thinking oil. i m thinking cholesterol. it doesn t really lend itself. and it just connected to me, like, olive oil, why olive oil? what makes that oil so good for you when we talk about so much cholesterol is bad for you and it clogs your system? what s been theorized, the oil is a slickening agent and blocks the calcification from occurring in the coronary artery that is really the main cause of a heart attack. is this all clinically proven? it is all clinically proven. there are two foods that are known to lower mortality. there are two foods that can cause you to live longer and they are olive oil and chocolate, of all things. which i find amazing. like, wow. another thing that s really incredible about this research is that there are certain f
chocolates out there. and they put wax fillers, caffeine, sugar the modified soy. let s not go to the horrible things they put in chocolate. the raw chocolate is the best chocolate. come on. i know you brought me these were two we were having last night. sacred chocolate. this is raw, cold pressed chocolate. a completely different chocolate. many people think that chocolate is not good for you, it s just how they prepare the chocolate that s not good for you. and the sugar that s added and the fillers you were talking about. also, the same thing with olive oil. if it s not a cold pressed olive oil, if it s not in a dark bottle, if it doesn t freeze up when you put it in the refrigerator, you have to know it s not a good, cold pressed, completely olive olive oil. that s right. exactly. and quality is everything. one of the things we re so fantastically involved in is quality in foods. and one of the great foods for reversing heart disease and helping the cardiovascular
