Healing Your Heart: Proven Program Reversng Heart Disease W/O Drugs or Surgery

Presents a six-step program for preventing or reversing heart disease, with meal plans and recipes to ease the transition to a heart-healthy life-style

Like Neil F. Gordon and Larry W. Gibbons's The Cooper Clinic Cardiac Rehabilitation Program and Mary Joan Oexmann's The Heart Factor Food Plan (both LJ 4/1/90), this book advocates following a proper diet and exercise regime to help reverse heart disease without drug therapy and/or surgery. With the help of former American Health editor Perry, Hellerstein, a distinguished cardiologist and researcher, provides an authoritative text on the subject. After a review of causes and symptoms of cardiovascular disease, the book gets right down to Hellerstein's recommendations for exercise and especially diet, with recipes for low-cholesterol, nonfattening dishes included. One or two examples of this type of book will be enough for all but the most complete collections; this would be a good choice.
