Product Description

Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease challenges conventional cardiology by posing a compelling, revolutionary idea-that we can, in fact, abolish the heart disease epidemic in this country by changing our diets.

Drawing on the groundbreaking results of his twenty-year nutritional study, Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., a former surgeon, researcher, and clinician at the Cleveland Clinic, convincingly argues that a plant-based, oil-free diet can not only prevent and stop the progression of heart disease, but also reverse its effects.

Furthermore, it can eliminate the need for expensive and invasive surgical interventions, such as bypass and stents, no matter how far the disease has progressed.

Dr. Esselstyn began his research with a group of patients who joined his study after traditional medical procedures to treat their advanced heart disease had failed. Within months of following a plant-based, oil-free diet, their angina symptoms eased, their cholesterol levels dropped significantly, and they experienced a marked improvement in blood flow to the heart.

Twenty years later, the majority of Dr. Esselstyn's patients continue to follow his program and remain heart-attack proof.

Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease explains the science behind these dramatic results, and offers readers the same simple, nutrition-based plan that has changed the lives of his patients forever.

In addition, Dr. Esselstyn provides more than 150 delicious recipes that he and his wife, Ann Crile Esselstyn, have enjoyed for years and used with their patients.

Clearly written and backed by irrefutable scientific evidence, startling photos of angiograms, and inspiring personal stories, Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease will empower readers to take charge of their heart health. It is a powerful call for a paradigm shift in heart-disease therapy.

About the Author

Caldwell B. Esselstyn, JR., M.D., was a researcher and clinician at the Cleveland Clinic for more than thirty-five years. In 1991, he served as the president of the American Association of Endocrine Surgeons and organized the first National Conference on the Elimination of Heart Disease.

In 2005, he became the first recipient of the Benjamin Spock Award for Compassion in Medicine. Dr. Esselstyn and his wife, Ann Crile Esselstyn, have followed a plant-based diet for more than twenty years. They work together to counsel patients in Cleveland and at the farm in upstate New York where Dr. Esselstyn grew up.

What is Body Water Percentage?

Total Body Water Percentage (TBW%) is the total amount of fluid in the body expressed as a percentage of total weight.

You continually lose water during the day from sweating, breathing and urinating and water levels are impacted by climate, activity levels, illness, medications and nutrition. Water is important to body functioning and is found in every cell, tissue and organ.

Maintaining a healthy body water % improves overall health and helps ensure the body operates efficiently and avoids health conditions associated with dehydration such as achy joints and muscles, fatigue, dizziness and dry skin.

Skeletal muscle contains more water than fat per pound of tissue, therefore athletes have higher body water percentage.

Source of information: http://www.grandsprings.com/hydration%20facts.htm

Why Body Fat Percentage Matters [Ref: H08J16]

Percentage of body fat is important for 2 reasons.

First, the higher the percentage of fat above average levels, the higher the health risk for weight-related illness, like heart disease, high blood pressure, gallstones, type 2 diabetes, osteoarthritis, and certain cancers.

Second, the higher the body fat percentage the fewer calories you need to maintain your weight (or gain weight).

Source of information: http://www.vegetarian-diet.info/body-fat-percentage.htm

Body Fat Percentage - Definition [Ref: H08J160]

Body fat percentage is the amount of fat tissue in your body as a percentage of total body weight. So if you weigh 180 pounds and have 36 pounds of fat, your body fat percent is 20 percent.

My lean and healthy body fat % and hydration % as at 16 October 2008

On 2008-10-16 at 3.00 pm I opened the box of Camry Body Fat & Hydration Monitor Scale - Model EF551BW. The following were the measurements:

(a) Weight = 55.3 kg

(Note: Although once measured as 55.6 kg but later settled at 55.3 kg. I measured my weigh the old and simple Camry scale. Result = 55.3 kg))

(b) Fat % = 15.5%
(c) Hydration = 58.0%

Based on the Instructional Manual of the Camry Model EF551BW, I am in the “lean” category (above 30 years) of fat % = 15.1 % to 19.5 % and hydration % = 58.3% to 55.3%

I need to learn more on the subject of body fat % and hydration %!

Healthy Body Water Percentage Chart by Lisa Shea (BellaOnline's Low Carb Editor)

This "Healthy Body Water Percentage Chart" is written by Lisa Shea BellaOnline's Low Carb Editor

Water is critical to life! This healthy body water percentage chart will help you determine if you have enough water in your system.

Many scales will tell you this value in seconds.Because your fat in your body has a lot of water in it, you have to first know how much fat you have in your body before you can then figure out what your healthy water content is. That is, if you say have 33% fat in your body, then you only need another 37% of water alone, because you have water in the fat. The scales don't count "fat water" as water, otherwise your numbers would get very confusing :)

Luckily, every scale that I've seen that measures water also measures fat, at the same time!

Female Body Water Chart

Body Fat %/Body Water %
4-20%/ 58-70%
21-29%/ 52-58%
30-32%/ 49-52%
33%+/ 37-49%

Male Body Water Chart

Body Fat % /Body Water %
4-14% / 63-70%
15-21%/ 57-63%
22-24%/ 55-57%
25%+/ 37-55%

So the key here is that as you lose fat, you need to have more water in your system to compensate. Your body will tend to do this naturally for you.

That is part of why it's key, as part of any healthy diet, to drink a lot of water.

You should never "lose weight" by losing water. That can cause dehydration issues, which can be quite serious!

Why eat fruits 30 minutes before meals?

Dr. Hiromi Shinya, a pre-eminent gastroenterologist of USA, recommends eating fruits 30 minutes before meals as often as possible.

Fresh fruits abundant in enzymes digest well and by eating it before meals, it helps the functions of the gastrointestinal system and raises blood sugar level, thus preventing you from overeating.

5 Reasons Why You Must Include Smoothies In Your Diet

by vegan-mama-kirsten

1. They're positively delicious, and oh so fun to eat or drink!

2. Smoothies are a quick and easy way to include the all-important (and usually lacking in our diets) fruits and veggies!

3. Smoothies contain some amazing disease-preventing nutrients that will help you live a long and vibrant life!

4. Smoothies are a fantastically delicious way to get those loved ones in your life to eat more fruits and veggies!

5. Smoothies are easy to digest because:

(a) The blender has already "chewed" up the food, so your body doesn't have to work as hard to get to the good stuff inside the fruits and veggies.

(b) Smoothies are enzyme-rich; enzymes are essential to digest food. (Cooked food doesn't contain any enzymes, making the food much more difficult for us to digest!)
