Self-Help Diet
A pioneering cardiologist and the author of the
international bestseller The South Beach Diet presents the
truth about cardiac care in this country and offers his
proven program for preventing heart attacks and strokes.
This year alone more than 1 million men and women in this
country will suffer a heart attack or stroke. The shocking
fact is that the majority of heart attacks and strokes can
be prevented with the medical knowledge we already possess.
Yet this isn’t happening. Why? Because doctors and
hospitals are paid more to treat disease with invasive
techniques like angioplasty and bypass surgery than to
prevent it. In his most personal and passionate work yet,
Dr. Arthur Agatston champions a revolution in heart disease
prevention that will enable people to stay out of the
hospital and off the operating table. In Part 1 of this compelling book, he tells you why
seemingly healthy people can suddenly have a heart attack
and why people with great cholesterol numbers can be
walking time bombs. He explains why belly fat can be an
early warning sign of future heart disease and why a
noninvasive heart scan can help predict your risk of heart
attack. In Part 2, he presents the South Beach Heart
Program, his 4-step plan for detecting, preventing, and
even reversing heart disease: The 4 steps include: Heart-
healthy eating, regular aerobic and core-strengthening
exercise, state-of-the art diagnostic testing, and the
latest heart-protective medications, as necessary. Thanks
to his aggressive prevention approach, Dr. Agatston rarely
sees a heart attack or stroke in his practice. Now you can
benefit from the prevention strategy he uses to help his
patients every day."
