Piscatella (Fat-Proof Your Child), a motivational speaker who had coronary bypass surgery in 1977 at the age of 32, and Franklin (Making Healthy Tomorrows), director of a Cardiac Rehabilitation Laboratory, collaborated on this clearly written guide to preventing heart disease. Like other consumer health books on this subject, the authors recommend, in detail, nutritional strategies that will lower cholesterol, exercises designed to promote cardiovascular health and, of course, an absolute prohibition against smoking. However, what is different about their plan is the emphasis on reducing stress. According to the authors, recent research into cardiac health indicates that chronic stress not only has a direct negative impact on the heart by, for example, promoting arterial inflammation, but can also play an indirect role. Enduring daily stress frequently prevents people from finding the energy and motivation to make healthy lifestyle changes such as (more…)

Inflammation plays a key role in plaque building up in coronary arteries, which leads to heart disease and heart attack. At the early stage, the plaque can build up quickly in inflamed arteries. If inflammatory conditions persist, the plaque can expand rapidly causing blood vessel narrowing. In advanced stage, inflammation leads to development of “soft” plaque that can rupture suddenly and cause heart attack. For many, cardiovascular disease is a silent disease, with no visible signs or symptoms until it suddenly leads to a heart attack or stroke. It is widely accepted that control of inflammation may yield a more ‘stable’ plaque that less likely to rupture. However, there are currently no medications available for direct treatment of the underlying chronic inflammation associated with cardiovascular disease. Alternatively, anti-inflammatory herbs, used for centuries to treat various chronic inflammatory conditions, may provide benefits to vascular health. FlameEz- (more…)

Book DescriptionA 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 (more…)
