“I am a cardiologist and this is what I eat and drink during the day to take care of my heart”

Ensuring a balanced diet is one of the many recommendations from health professionals to limit the risk of disease in general. But adapting the diet can also serve more specific objectives in certain cases, such as favoring a particular food on your plate when trying to lose weight, or even turning to a specific diet to achieve a rejuvenating effect on the skin.

Certain foods are indeed full of sometimes unsuspected virtues about which it is interesting to find out in order to be able to vary not only the pleasures but also the benefits for your body. The proof with this cheese which is among the healthiest for the heart according to cardiologists.

What regime for health professionals?

These health professionals specializing in the heart, like most of their colleagues, are among the first people we turn to when we want to adapt our diet to stay in good health. But what eating behaviors do they adopt?

Whether during their years of intense study or during their long work days marked by having to make crucial choices that could cost a patient’s life, do health professionals manage to adopt a diet healthy and balanced? It’s impossible to monitor what’s on the plates of cardiologists around the world, but some of them have agreed to share their eating habits with the general public. This is particularly the case of Warrick Bishop, a private sector cardiologist based in Hobart, a town in Tasmania, Australia, who agreed to speak about his daily diet in the columns of our colleagues at Huffpost.

“Avoid any food that has a barcode”

For him, the workday begins with a cup of strong coffee, which has a dose of caffeine as well as a dose of decaffeinated to ensure a robust taste to the beverage. Mid-morning, the cardiologist does not deny himself another coffee to which he sometimes adds a little cream. During lunch, Doctor Warrick Bishop favors a small snack and does not deny himself a piece of cheese from time to time. At dinner, he usually sticks to a salad and natural yogurt, although he admits to sometimes enhancing his menu with marinated vegetables and an animal protein such as a steak or a chicken cutlet. Finally, the cardiologist indicates that he also allows himself to drink a glass of wine in the evening.

Anyone who strives to fast during a daily window of 16 hours and concentrate their meals in the remaining eight hours, points out that there is no miracle diet suitable for everyone. However, he identifies the Mediterranean diet as healthy and advises against the consumption of processed foods and more broadly “any food with a bar code”.
