Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Dr. Sinatra (Heart Sense for Women and Optimum Health) offers a tightly focused program designed to reduce blood pressure in a very short time period. He first offers an overview of hypertension and its causes-primarily excessive salt intake, lack of exercise and weight gain. In his studies, Sinatra found that the American Heart Association's "heart healthy" (low fat, high carb) diet led to insulin resistance, weight gain and higher cholesterol levels. As an alternative, Sinatra devised what he calls a Pan-Asian/Modified Mediterranean diet with olive oil, fruit, vegetables along with soy and rice. The sensible diet will require people to give up many foods including hard cheese, white flour products including cereal, bread, pasta, etc. Along with these dietary changes, the program also includes medication and/or nutritional supplements, as well as exercise and stress reduction techniques. Sinatra insists, "treating your high blood pressure is not just about taking pharmaceuticals. In reality, it's a total lifestyle change and commitment." The program, while not easy to follow, is clearly explained and the book includes both meal plans and recipes. For patients willing to change their current eating and exercise patterns to lower their blood pressure, this is an excellent resource.

'My kind of doctor! He integrates the best of conventional and alternative medical practice' Dr Christiane Northrup
About 10 million people in the UK suffer from high blood pressure, and that's a serious problem for both sufferers and the NHS. Hypertension increases the risk not only of stroke, but also of heart attack, blindness, kidney failure and heart disease. Worse, traditional therapies seem to be failing many of these people. This book, from US cardiologist and certified psychotherapist Stephen Sinatra, promises to help those suffering to reduce their blood pressure within just eight weeks. To follow Sinatra's programme requires dedication. It is nothing short of a major life overhaul for most readers, combining dietary, exercise, lifestyle, supplementation and psychological/emotional measures. Sinatra recommends a modified Mediterranean/Asian diet with a strict regime, prescribing exactly what to eat and drink for every day of the eight weeks. There are no choices here, but lots of help, including complete recipes, calorie, cholesterol and fat counts for each day, and a thorough explanation of the rationale behind these nutritional choices. Those unaccustomed to taking nutritional supplements may be in for something of a shock - Sinatra believes in taking a lot of them, and varying them throughout the programme. But the idea is to reduce or prevent dependence on more conventional medicines. Sinatra reports that many of his patients have been able to stop taking pharmaceutical medications altogether by using this programme. The third ingredient in Sinatra's programme is exercise, which looks very achievable, including as it does yoga, walking, gentle upper and lower body stretches, and other low-impact exercise regimes. All these measures not only promise to lower BP, but also augur well for a healthier life generally, including lowering cholesterol and losing weight. There is much that sounds eminently sensible here and Sinatra's results look good. Written originally for an US audience, this programme may lose a little in its translation for the UK. Some of the supplements and recipes may be harder to come by over here, but it will be worth the effort for those with the determination to lower their blood pressure and ultimately make a real, positive change to their lives.
