Book Synopsis
Did you know that 47% of Americans are at risk of getting heart disease? Read on to find out how NOT to be one of them.
Cardiovascular diseases remain to be one of the leading causes of death worldwide. As such, numerous studies have been conducted over the years to develop effective means of lowering the risk for heart issues and improving the health condition of those who already have heart problems.
One of these methods is through the adaptation of the cardiac diet, which is composed of the following elements:
Fresh and brightly colored vegetables
Fresh fruits
Unrefined, whole grains
Plant-based food products
Lean cuts of meat
Healthy fats
Anti-inflammatory beverages
In this guide, you will discover...
How colors can change the way your heart receives food
Getting the perfect cut of meat for a happier heart
Why fats aren't really that bad
Keeping your heart happy in just a few sips
Avoiding a doctor's appointment through proper nutrition
Through the cardiac diet, you will be able to normalize your blood pressure, lower down your weight through the reduction of body fat, reduce your glucose levels, and improve the overall performance of your immune system.
As confirmed by multiple research studies, the nutritional value of this diet has a greater effect than most cardiovascular medications available today.
In this guide, you will learn how to successfully apply the principles of the cardiac diet in your day-to-day life. Using a sample 7-day meal plan as your starting point, you will learn in later chapters how to sustain your new heart-friendly lifestyle.
Once you have a working knowledge on what to eat and what to avoid, this book shall also equip you with the proven strategies on how to maximize the effects of the cardiac diet in protecting and promoting the wellness of your heart.
Review Quotes
There are a lot of books on this subject. Too many to count. And how many of them are over 200 pages? MOST of em. And why? They basically just repeat the same thing over and over, and give maybe a couple recipes here and there.I like this book cuz it's short and direct. Eat less, exercise more. Talks real quick about the benefits of a heart-healthy diet, and then goes right into HOW, WHAT, and WHEN to eat. No guesswork. Perfect. Not even 40 pages. THAT's what I like!
