Review of Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Paperback)

It's too bad this book won't be read by every primary care physician and every cardiologist and every patient with heart disease, but it should be. The collaboration of two leading edge cardiologists has resulted in a book full of the latest approaches to managing plaques and heart disease. This book moves beyond Dr. Sinatra's first classic, The Sinatra Solution, and focuses on the problem of plaque build-up in your arteries. The latest theory of inflammation as the cause of hardening of the arteries, as well as many other chronic illnesses is addressed here with dietary changes, supplements, and medications. For example, when to use statins alongside the natural supplements for reducing cholesterol and other risk factors for plaque formation is clearly discussed. It's wonderful to read what these two doctors do for their patients outside the box set by the FDA in defining the indications for prescription medications. From my own experience their approaches do work for many people. I will be recommending this book to many patients and featuring it on my website.

Product Description
While most books focus solely on the role of cholesterol in heart disease, Reverse Heart Disease Now draws on new research that points to the surprising other causes. Two leading cardiologists draw on their collective fifty years of clinical cardiology research to show you how to combine the benefits of modern medicine, over-the-counter vitamins and supplements, and simple lifestyle changes to have a healthy heart.

Review of The Fast Food Diet: Lose Weight and Feel Great Even If You're Too Busy to Eat Right (Paperback)

This is a great book for someone like me who doesn't like to cook.It has a lot of the same cardiac health information available in other books and resources - decrease transfats and simple sugars, exercise, etc....nothing new on that front.But I do eat out quite often or raid the vending machine -- that's where the real eye popping information was in my opinion. One of my favorite fast food "healthy choices" was a sandwich that turns out to contain 720 calories!!!!!Nearly 1/2 of my alotted total caloric intake for the day - I had no idea!I think anyone with children, who resorts to fast food should read this book as well - just yesterday the little girl next door told me that she had pop and french fries and chicken nuggets for lunch...would her mom have made the same choices if she knew the nutritional content of that menu?I finished the book feeling much more positive about the health benefits that can be achieved without constantly being in the kitchen chopping and measuring.
