Introduction:
Can Heart Disease Really Be Reversed?
This one question is on everybody’s mind as people are fed up of knowing that no conventional treatment such as bypass surgery or stent heals your heart, rather they are just temporary solutions. Heart disease is often labeled as a chronic and progressive condition, a one-way street leading to invasive procedures, and a lifetime of medications. But SAAOL Heartcare Delhi says “THAT’S NOT ENTIRELY TRUE”. Science now supports a groundbreaking fact: you can halt, slow down, and even reverse heart disease naturally without invasive procedures.
Sounds too good to be true? Stay tuned, because we’re about to dive deep into the science of Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) therapy and strategic lifestyle modifications including Zero-oil cooking as identified by Dr. Bimal Chhajer that could change your heart health forever, just like the 6 lakh + patients at Saaol Heartcare did in the past 30 years.
What Is EECP Therapy?
In the simplest of terms, EECP therapy is the Heart’s Natural Bypass
A Non-Invasive Lifeline for Your Heart
Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) therapy is an FDA-approved, non-surgical heart treatment designed to boost circulation and encourage natural bypasses around blocked arteries. It works by inflating and deflating cuffs around your legs in sync with your heartbeat, gently pushing oxygen-rich blood toward the heart.
The magic is that over time, your body creates collateral circulation—a network of new blood vessels that reroutes blood flow around blocked arteries, much like a natural bypass but without the knife.
What Research Says About EECP
EECP therapy isn’t some new-age wellness trend—it has been studied extensively and is recommended for patients with chronic stable angina, heart failure, and coronary artery disease (CAD). Here’s what research tells us:
– As per the study published in the American Journal of Cardiology, it was reported that 72% of patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction improved from severe angina to no angina after EECP, with improvements maintained in 55% at two years
– Research from the Circulation confirms that EECP therapy increases nitric oxide (NO) production, which dilates blood vessels, reduces inflammation, and improves endothelial function.
– EECP has also been shown to improve heart rate variability, an indicator of better autonomic nervous system function and reduced cardiovascular risk.
– Studies suggest that EECP can improve exercise capacity in heart failure patients, allowing them to engage in more physical activity without experiencing shortness of breath or fatigue.
Why Haven’t You Heard About This More Often?
The reason EECP isn’t mainstream isn’t because it doesn’t work—it’s because it was mostly advised for the patients who were unfit for the surgeries and not as a better and safer alternative, and this became the biggest reason for its small demographic reach and knowledge. Also, we can’t ignore the fact that there is a vast lack of awareness about EECP therapy and its benefits, and here’s why SAAOL Delhi is dedicated to making you aware of this non-invasive cardiac care that generates better results than conventional treatments.
How to Maximize EECP Benefits
EECP therapy alone is powerful, but when combined with targeted lifestyle changes, it becomes a game-changer in reversing heart disease.
- Nutrition: Eat to Reverse Blockages
Most heart patients are told to cut fat, reduce cholesterol, and eat more grains—but mainstream advice often misses the bigger picture. Here’s what really works:
– Prioritize whole, plant-based foods: Vegetables, legumes, and fiber-rich fruits can halt atherosclerosis.
– Don’t just cut fat, go Zero-oil: No matter how healthy and omega-3 rich seeds and some nuts are, it doesn’t help if taken more than 2-3 in number. And not just reducing oil intake can help, but when your heart condition is not well, you are bound to go Zero-oil in your foods.
– Cut added sugars and processed carbs: High insulin levels from sugar and refined carbs fuel inflammation and arterial plaque. It is the ultimate truth whether you agree or not.
– Nitric oxide-boosting foods: Beetroot, spinach, and watermelon naturally dilate blood vessels. So, try adding these in your daily food consumption.
- Movement: The Right Type of Exercise for Heart Healing
Not all exercise is equal when it comes to heart health. A balance of mild exercises like slow aerobic, strength, and restorative movement is key:
– Low-intensity cardio enhances mitochondrial function and endurance.
– Isometric strength training (like yoga) improves blood pressure regulation.
– Micro-movement throughout the day (walking after meals, stretching) prevents blood sugar spikes and stiff arteries.
– Breath-controlled training like pranayama reduces stress and improves oxygenation of tissues.
- Stress Management
-Chronic stress badly impacts the cardiovascular system, raising inflammation, blood pressure, and arterial plaque so much that nearly 40% of the population is likely to develop heart disease just because of chronic stress and a stressful working environment.
-Relaxation techniques, such as daily breathwork (box breathing, or diaphragmatic breathing), can reduce blood pressure and increase heart rate variability.
-Meditation (Preksha meditation) and guided relaxation (kayotsarg) reduce cortisol and inflammation.
-Deep social connection (friendship, community) can increase the odds of avoiding heart attack by 50%!
-Keeping a journal and practicing gratitude have been shown to reduce inflammatory markers linked to cardiovascular disease.
- Optimization of Sleep: The Neglected Element
The impacted aspects of sleep are arguably one of the most neglected contributing factors to heart disease. Here is how to optimize it:
– Target a sleep duration of between seven to nine hours and ensure that it is undisturbed.
– Start your day with natural light to help manage your biological clock.
– Reduce blue light in the evening to increase melatonin production, which is beneficial for the heart.
– Manage obstructive sleep apnea as it is associated with hypertension and cardiac failure.
The Role of Emotions and Environment Health
-Arterial plaque build up may be worsened by air pollution and heavy metal toxins such as lead and mercury.
– Endocrine disrupting chemicals from plastics impact heart rate variability and raise blood pressure.
– Ensure water quality is filtered and contains minerals because this reduces oxidative damage to the heart.
Emotional Healing and Heart Coherence
– Emotional trauma and unresolved grief contribute to heart disease.
– Practices like coherence breathing can balance the nervous system and improve heart rate variability.
– Forgiveness and emotional release techniques help reduce stress-driven inflammation.
Patients Who Reversed Their Heart Disease
Dr. Bimal Chhajer, a pioneer in non-invasive cardiology, has worked with thousands of heart patients who were told they needed surgery but reversed their condition naturally.
Case Study 1: Dinesh’s Story (From Severe Angina to a New Life)
Dinesh, a 40-year-old corporate executive, had blockage in two arteries and was advised to undergo invasive angiography. Instead, he opted for 40 sessions of EECP therapy, combined with a whole-food, plant-based diet, stress management, and light exercise. Six months later, he reported zero chest pain, improved energy, and normal blood flow in stress tests.
Case Study 2: Asma’s Journey (Heart Disease Reversed!)
Asma Bi had severe angina and breathlessness that prevented her from climbing stairs. Doctors gave her little hope. After EECP therapy, a diet rich in nitric oxide foods, and Zero-Oil cooking, she could not only walk far but now could easily climb flights of stairs.
Conclusion: A New Era in Heart Care
If you’ve been told that heart disease is irreversible or that surgery is your only option, know that science says otherwise. EECP therapy, when combined with strategic lifestyle modifications, can help your heart heal naturally, improve circulation, and even reverse heart blockages.
So, are you ready to take control of your heart health naturally? The choice is yours.
