Dr. Dean Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease
by Dean Ornish
|
|
CLICK
HERE TO
Review:
In this breakthrough book, Dr. Dean Ornish presents the first scientific
proof that it is possible to actually reverse heart disease without
drugs or surgery.
Dr. Ornish's internationally acclaimed scientific study, funded in
part by the National Institutes of Health and based on thirteen years
of research, has yielded astonishing conclusions: Heart disease can
often be halted or even reversed -- without bypass surgery, angioplasty,
or cholesterol-lowering drugs -- simply by changing our life-style.
Participants in Dr. Ornish's study, all of whom had severe coronary
heart disease, followed his extraordinary Opening Your Heart program
with amazing results: their chest pain diminished or disappeared; they
often were able to reduce or discontinue medications; they felt more
energetic, happy, and calm; they lost weight while eating much more
food; and in most cases the average blockages in their coronary arteries
began to reverse. In fact, the more severely blocked arteries showed
the most reversal. In contrast, the coronary blockages of most of the
patients who followed their doctors' recommendations became worse instead
of better.
Dr. Ornish presents the dramatic evidence from his study and guides
readers step-by-step through the Opening Your Heart program, which combines
a special Reversal Diet (featuring over 150 delicious, all-you-can-eat
recipes from such culinary stars as Mollie Katzen, Deborah Madison,
Wolfgang Puck, and Alice Waters); a Prevention Diet; meditation; visualization;
communication skills and other stress management techniques; and advice
on how to stop smoking and how to exercise safely and moderately.
More men and women die from coronary heart disease each year than from
all other causes of death combined, including cancer and AIDS. Now,
since heart disease can be reversed, then it may be preventable for
most people.
"Dr. Ornish's landmark research validates
the advice he provides." -- Alexander Leaf, M.D
Chairman, Department of Preventive Medicineand
Clinical Epidemiology, Harvard Medical School

Her Healthy Heart : A Woman's Guide to Preventing and Reversing Heart
Disease Naturally
by Robert E. Kowalski, Jack Sternlieb

Review:
More women between the ages of 44 and 65 die of heart disease than
from all types of cancer combined. "Her Healthy Heart" provides detailed
information on how women can reduce their risk of heart disease by making
changes in diet, increasing physical activity, and managing stress.
"What you don't know can kill you," writes Linda Ojeda in Her Healthy
Heart. For example, did you know that heart disease and stroke are killing
women in record numbers--six times as many as breast cancer, and twice
as many as all forms of cancer combined--yet can be prevented and reversed
with small lifestyle changes?
Ojeda goes beyond the eat-low-fat-and-exercise advice we've all heard
a million times. She discusses nutrients, supplements, stress, spirituality,
and unhealthy vs. heart-healthy behavior. She describes what conditions
and actions increase risk, and what you can do to reverse the effects,
with every point backed up by scientific studies. Where there's conflicting
information, she presents both sides and makes her best recommendation.
Ojeda wrote Exclusively Female before women knew they could alter the
way they felt before and during their periods, Menopause Without Medicine
before the great flood of menopause books, and Safe Dieting for Teens,
the first dieting book aimed at teenagers. Now she again shares the
science we haven't heard, this time for our hearts' sakes.
"...... This remarkably informative
resource will motivate you to take action. --Joan Price

Most research on heart disease,
the number-one killer of women, has been conducted on men. Ojeda, author
of books on natural health, offers in this handbook a balanced view
of women and heart disease by interpreting recent and often conflicting
research.

Here's an owner's manual with a twist: attention to troubleshooting

processes is contained in an 'owner's manual' format packed with case
history examples contrasting various care routines. An excellent, easy
to understand guide which couches health terminology in layman's lingo.

Due to incredible advances in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular

attack and providing appropriate treatment. Written in an easy-to-understand
style, it helps the reader to quickly grasp the key issues involved
in diagnosing and treating heart disease. The text is ideal for review,

"...... a comprehensive book to help
you battle America's #1 medical problem, heart disease."
