Editorial Reviews

Product Description
People from the Indian subcontinent (India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka) have some of the world's highest rates of diabetes and heart disease. This is true even when they have low levels of traditional risk factors such as cholesterol. Even non-smoking Indian vegetarians under the age of 40 who exercise regularly may be at high risk. For the first time, the authors of this groundbreaking, deeply researched book tell you why. They also tell you how you and your family - working with your physician - can prevent, manage and even reverse this dangerous but treatable killer. Check out www.cadiresearch.com for a free download of Chapter One of the book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Practical book on Heart disease, February 16, 2006
Post heart attack I bought or borrowed numerous books on heart disease. This book has information that is scattered over many sources and so is a nice addition to the literature on heart disease and would be very valuable to anybody who wants to understand their disease and manage it or try to avoid getting it. It does a good job of explaining the current understanding of heart disease development, and several practical steps one can take to avoid getting the disease or manage it if one has it. While one focus of the book is the much higher than normal incidence of heart disease in South Asians in reality it is an excellent read for just about anybody. It does a very nice job of summarizing a great deal of research and highlights the Indian specific risk factors and appropriate medical responses. Much of the data is backed up by references to the medical literature that one can consult if one so desires (so much of the book is evidence based rather than anecdotal in nature). As an example of the obscure data that is hard to find but is included in the book is a quantification of expected benefit from several lifestyle & theraputic changes likes loosing weight or lowering LDL or quitting smoking etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars How To Beat The Heart Disease Epidemic among South Asians by Dr. Enas and Sudesh Kannan Phd, January 12, 2006
By Joseph Blair (Flat Rock, North Carolina) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
"How To Beat The Heart Disease Epidemic among South Asians" by Drs. Enas A Enas, MD and Sudesh Kannan, Phd, is very well researched and a very clearly written guide not only for South Asians, but for all of us who want to live a higher quality of life our entire lifetime. This wonderful guide will be a fund of useful knowledge for my wife and I for years to come. Enas and Kannan have delivered a great gift to all of us seeking the latest knowledge on how to live healthy lives with lower blood pressure and lower cholesterol which leads to a healthy heart. If the great knowledge in this book is followed by the readers they will become healthier and happier and remain so throughout thier lives. I have recommended this book to Dr. Sanjay Gupta of CNN. I highly recommend it to anyone of any race, culture or ethnic group. My compliments to the authors. Colonel Joseph M. Blair III US Army Retired US Masters Swimmer Age 63

5.0 out of 5 stars Book review by a non-Indian diabetic, December 5, 2005
By Wayne Palmquist (New Lenox, IL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am a Caucasian and was recently diagnosed as having Type II Diabetes. Yes, this book has research focus on Asian Indians, but it is packed with substantial information that will benefit anyone looking for answers. Answers your own doctor may not know or doesn't have time to tell you. The comparison of risk factors for different ethnic groups was fascinating. "Genetics loads the gun, but environment pulls the trigger". This book is well-written, in a clear non-technical language, that the average person can understand. It is chock full of charts, tables and highlighted areas that summarize key points and useful information. From start to finish, Heart Disease, Nutrition, Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, Diabetes and Medications, this book explains what, why and how to manage.
