According to the latest
research, a diet rich in
high-fiber plants can reduce
cholesterol levels by nearly 30
percent -- as much as a statin
drug -- in as little as 4 weeks.
That's just part of the program
in The Healthy Heart Miracle
by Gabe Mirkin, M.D., author of
the bestselling The
Sportsmedicine Book, and
nutrition expert Diana Mirkin.
For those seeking to
dramatically reduce their risk
of heart attack, stroke, and
diabetes, this simple 8-week
program will work with or
without cholesterol-lowering or
blood pressure-lowering drugs.
For people with heart disease,
this program provides a roadmap
for the lifestyle changes
recommended by every
cardiologist.
The Healthy Heart Miracle
was designed for busy lives.
First, Dr. Mirkin explains the
medical tests you need to
understand your heart health
status. Then you'll get a
jump-start on positive results
with the SHOW ME! Diet, a 2-week
miniprogram offering dramatic
improvements in blood pressure,
cholesterol, and triglyceride
levels. Later weeks ease you
into Dr. Mirkin's DASH Plus
program. Menu plans, worksheets,
and 50 delicious recipes make it
easy to start and stay on this
program -- with no calorie
counting, fat or carbohydrate
gram counting, or portion
measurements!
Dr. Mirkin's exercise plan is
flexible for varied fitness
levels. It promotes the newly
accepted model of intensity
followed by "easy days" for
building muscle and reducing
heart-harming belly fat.
"The miracle of my DASH Plus
program is your body's great
capacity to repair damage and
revitalize itself," writes Dr.
Mirkin. "If you're on the road
to a heart attack, my 8-Week
Plan will help you make a
U-turn."
