101 Miracle Foods That Heal Your Heart [Paperback]

Liz Applegate (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 5, 2000

Liz Applegate, Ph.D., a leading nutritional expert, comes through with clear answers to what we should be eating to combat two of our country's most formidable killers; heart disease and high blood pressure. 101 Miracle Foods That Heal Your Heart is the nuts-and-bolts to eating the right foods -- culled from Applegate's acclaimed Eat Your Way to a Healthy Heart (Prentice Hall Press, 1999).

Arranged from Abalone to Zucchini, here are 101 foods that make it to the plate in a heart-smart diet. For each, Dr. Applegate presents a concise nutritional profile, complete with a recap of the latest medical research on its health-promoting qualities. Following the author's Simple Six Eating Plan -- a scientifically sound and easily adaptable approach to building meals around core food groups, including heart-friendly fats -- eaters of all tastes can choose the foods they like best, guilt-free. Many will be delighted to find that chocolate, coffee, pizza, beer, and other "forbidden" foods have redeeming values.

Featuring more than a hundred enticing recipes, plus shopping, preparation, and cooking tips for each entry, 101 Miracle Foods That Heal Your Heart takes the anxiety out of heart-healthy eating to enhance the pleasure of every bite.

Superbly qualified author who keeps the material simple and to the point for easy consumption by laymen or professional readers .
Our family likes the alphabetical organization of the food listings from A thru Z in the book . Like apples in the front pages through zuchinni etc. at the end of the book .
Her info and recommendation are confirmed by other sources we have read and tried . We recommend this " almost out of print " book for review to all persons searching for nutrition health data .
