Summary:
"
Statins
are among the most widely prescribed drugs with 6 million takers in the UK alone. Yet at least 30% report serious side effects and the largest US survey reported that 75% stop taking them within a year. So what is the evidence for their benefits? Do they really work? And are they necessary for us to fend off
heart
disease
? In A
Statin-Free
Life
, Dr Aseem Malhotra, leading expert and co-author of the bestselling The Pioppi Diet, examines the evidence for the
use
of
statins
and reveals the truth behind the misleading claims about the effects that lowering cholesterol, whether through
statins
or diet, has on
heart
disease
. Instead, Dr Malhotra will show the vital role played by insulin levels, and introduce us to his targeted heart-health low-carb Mediterranean diet
plan
, which includes 80 recipes and advice on reducing stress and increasing movement, and is proven to reverse
heart
disease
, type 2 diabetes, and lower blood pressure within 21 days. A
Statin-Free
Life
is targeted at helping you understand the actual science behind your body and
heart
disease
, giving you the tools you need to take control of your own health -- all
without
the need for
statins
."--Publisher.
