In part two of his article, Dr. Jeffrey Tucker urges chiropractors to actively engage in their patients' cardiovascular health beyond musculoskeletal concerns. He emphasizes the importance of personalized protein intake based on lean body mass and dietary preferences, noting that meat, poultry, and seafood provide coenzyme Q10 which can help preserve nitric oxide. Dr. Tucker strongly advocates for an anti-inflammatory, plant-based forward diet to combat various conditions linked to inflammation, including vascular issues. He highlights the crucial role of deep sleep in cardiovascular restoration. Regarding fats, he favors olive oil (especially extra virgin) for its nitric oxide-boosting polyphenols and cardiovascular benefits, while expressing concerns about the processing and high omega-6 content of many seed oils. Other recommendations include limiting sugar and processed foods, promoting nasal breathing, and considering water filtration and specific supplements like red ginseng and red sage to enhance nitric oxide production. Ultimately, Dr. Tucker stresses that lifestyle factors significantly impact heart disease risk and that chiropractors have a vital role in educating patients about prevention.
