The author of Eat to Live, Super Immunity, The End of Diabetes, and The End of Dieting presents a scientifically proven, practical nutritional program to prevent and reverse heart disease, the leading cause of death. Take control of your health and avoid taking medication or undergoing complicated, expensive surgery, the two standard treatments prescribed today for heart disease. Dr. Fuhrman's plan begins with the food you eat. He focuses on a high nutrient per calorie ratio, with a range of options for different needs and conditions. What to remove and what to add to your diet for optimum heart health, wotj menu plans and recipes for heart-healthy meals and snacks, and includes helpful questions for doctors and patients. By understanding heart disease and its triggers, this book provides the knowledge to counter-attack this widespread epidemic and lead to a longer, healthier life. Avoid empty-calorie foods, such as sugar, white flour, processed foods and fast foods - they have no nutritional value. Eat a salad as the main dish of at least one meal each day. Eat all you want of green vegetables, tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, onions, cauliflower, carrots, beets, beans and peas. Eliminate or severely limit animal products. Reduce salt intake. At least 90 percent of your diet should be from whole plant foods. Dr. Joel Fuhrman is an American physician and media personality who advocates a micronutrient-rich diet. A former competitive figure skater, his practice is based on a nutrition-based approach to obesity and chronic disease, his safe and proven nutritarian plan.
