The Ornish Diet has been named the "#1 best diet for heart disease" by U.S. News & World Report for seven consecutive years! Dr. Dean Ornish is the first clinician to offer documented proof that heart disease can be halted, or even reversed, simply by changing your lifestyle. Based on his internationally acclaimed scientific study, which has now been ongoing for years, Dr. Ornish's program has yielded amazing results. Participants reduced or discontinued medications; they learned how to lower high blood pressure; their chest pain diminished or disappeared; they felt more energetic, happy, and calm; they lost weight while eating more; and blockages in coronary arteries were actually reduced. In his breakthrough book, Dr. Ornish presents this and other dramatic evidence and guides you, step-by-step, through the extraordinary Opening Your Heart program, which is winning landmark approval from America's health insurers. The program takes you beyond the purely physical side of health care to include the psychological, emotional and spiritual aspects so vital to healing. This book represents the best modern medicine has to offer. It can inspire you to open your heart to a longer, better, happier life. No library descriptions found. |

Ornish and his colleagues found that medications for these conditions don’t always work. They believe that comprehensive lifestyle changes to lower stress levels, eat healthier, and exercise more, can, however, make a difference, and telling you how to do that forms the bulk of this book.
This book is divided into three parts. Part one gives an overview of research about how lifestyle factors affect heart disease, for better or worse. Part two is a “how-to” section for help not only in preventing heart disease but reversing it. Part three is a cookbook with over 150 recipes for healthy eating.
I highly recommend this book. Even if you just make partial changes based on your reading, it may help you live longer. ( )
