HOUSTON – A cardiologist in Houston has come up with a special diet that reverses diabetes and heart disease, myfoxhouston.com reported.
Under the diet, Dr. Baxter Montgomery encourages patients to eat plant-based foods, minimally processed foods (that means all those foods that come prepared in a box or package), and to eat whole foods, as close to their natural state as possible.
For instance, you could shuck a corn on the cob and just eat it uncooked. He says it's actually delicious that way, plus you get all the nutrients from it.
Dr. Montgomery also steers his patients away from meat, which he calls "animal flesh". He says our digestive systems aren't actually meant to digest meats and it puts an extra burden on the body.
