About this title

Synopsis

Dr. Kevin Byrne, MD, MPH, explains in clear and fascinating detail how cholesterol plaques develop in our arteries and how this process can be prevented and even reversed. The book is richly illustrated and written for lay persons interested in improving their health and longevity.

Major topics include the following:
Diet, Nutrition
Blood pressure
Smoking, Heredity and Diabetes
The benefits of exercise and how to begin a program
Stress, its effect and control
How heart attacks and strokes occur
Cholesterol's natural function in the body
Cholesterol levels and ratios for health and disease
Stages in plaque formation
Cholesterol-lowering drugs
Diet: Fats, Fiber and Fish
The dangers of bypass surgery and angioplasty
How to reduce plaque by healthy habits

Dr. Byrne reviews the world's literature on this subject and includes nearly 1,000 references.
