This book is a must-read for anyone who has suffered from a heart attack. It will also help the reader prevent a first heart attack from happening.

Many people don’t realize that to prevent a heart attack, it’s not enough to take medications. A whole package of lifestyle changes is needed, including the foods you eat and the physical activities you pursue.

I bet you didn’t know that doctors are not educated in any significant way about nutrition. They tell their patients that they should eat heart-healthy foods, assuming that everyone knows what that means.

In this book, we learn that the vitamins that are essential to life have to come from whole foods and not from a tablet. One serving of leafy green vegetables a day can markedly decrease one’s risk of developing diabetes. Eating three or more servings of fruit daily significantly decreases the risk of a heart attack.

As well as being packed full of valuable information, this book contains a host of tasty wholesome recipes that bear no resemblance to bland low-fat foods.
