In his most personal and passionate audiobook yet, Dr. Arthur Agatston champions a revolution in heart disease prevention that will enable people to save their own lives. Heart disease is the number one killer of men and women in this country. The shocking fact is that the majority of heart attacks and strokes could be prevented with the medical knowledge we already possess. But this isn’t happening because too many doctors and hospitals don’t support aggressive prevention, and rely instead on invasive procedures to treat patients. Dr. Agatston has drawn upon his more than 30 years as a practicing cardiologist to create this four-part heart program that provides tools we can all use to take the necessary steps to live longer and healthier lives.
The creator of the South Beach Diet is a passionate believer that medication, diet, and lifestyle changes can eliminate heart attacks and strokes. Called aggressive prevention, his approach is based on current research that shows how various blood components are related to arterial blockages. The author writes with gentle conviction, often adding personal history and insights. Yet he doesn't pull any punches when describing the economic forces that discourage cost-effective preventive approaches like this. Stephen Hoye's interpretation is astute and balanced; he gives the ideas added credibility as he speaks with relaxed authority. Printable menus, exercises, and illustrations are a helpful bonus. T.W.
