Press Release in The South Asian Times

Summary of the event and our subsequent communications:
Here are five key points from the event that promote a pure vegan lifestyle, not just vegetarian:

1. Lifestyle Medicine Focus: Dr. Chhajer emphasizes the importance of lifestyle medicine, which treats heart patients through lifestyle changes rather than relying on medical interventions alone. This highlights the role of a whole-food, plant-based (vegan) diet in preventing and reversing heart disease.
2. Heart Disease Epidemic: Dr. Chhajer discusses heart disease as a global epidemic, driven by unhealthy dietary habits, including the consumption of fatty foods. A pure vegan lifestyle, which excludes animal fats as well as all processed oil, can directly reduce heart disease risk.
3. Fatty Food Consumption: He mentioned that in people who may not consume animal products, fatty foods (like oil) containing triglyceride are clogging arteries, leading to heart disease and death, implicitly promoting the benefits of a vegan diet.
4. Disease Prevention: He repeatedly refers to preventing diseases, especially heart disease, through diet and lifestyle. A vegan diet is widely recognized as a preventive approach for many chronic diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers.
5. Global Health Impact: Dr. Chaajer connects the global prevalence of heart disease to dietary patterns, noting that even in affluent countries like the US, where fatty foods are common, heart disease is rampant. A vegan lifestyle offers a sustainable solution to improve global health by eliminating the consumption of these harmful fats.
