Product Description
A deliciously simple, A-to-Z guide to eating away heart disease and high blood pressure.

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.
