The Ornish Diet has been named the "#1 Best Heart-Healthy Diet" by
U.S. News & World Report for seven consecutive years!
From the author of the landmark bestseller Dr. Dean Ornish's Program
for Reversing Heart Disease comes an empowering new program that
teaches you how to lower high blood pressure, lose weight, lower your
cholesterol, or reverse a major disease by customizing a healthy way of
eating and living based on your own desires, needs, and genetic
predispositions.
Dr. Dean Ornish revolutionized medicine by directing clinical research
proving-for the first time-that heart disease and early-stage prostate
cancer may be stopped or even reversed by his program of comprehensive
lifestyle changes, without drugs or surgery. His newest research was the
first to show that changing your lifestyle changes your genes in men
with prostate cancer-"turning on" disease-preventing genes, and "turning
off" genes that promote breast cancer, heart disease, and other
illnesses, and in only three months. This study documented, also for the
first time, that these lifestyle changes may significantly increase an
enzyme that lengthens telomeres-the ends of your chromosomes that
control how long you live. As your telomeres get longer, your life gets
longer. Your genes are not your fate.
Featuring one hundred easy-to-prepare, delicious recipes from
award-winning chef Art Smith, The Spectrum can make a powerful
difference in your health and well-being.
Praise for The Spectrum
"In 1993, Hillary asked Dr. Dean Ornish to consult with us on improving
our health and well-being and to train the chefs who cooked for us at
The White House, Camp David, and Air Force One. I felt better and lost
weight when I followed his recommendations. As this book illustrates, my
genes may have been improving as well! If you want to see where medicine
is likely to be five or ten years from now, read this book
today."--President Bill Clinton
"The Spectrum is absolutely fantastic. Time and again, Dr. Dean Ornish
has scientifically proven that what was once thought to be medically
impossible is, in fact, possible. His work is truly
revolutionary."--Mehmet Oz, M.D. Professor of Surgery & Director,
Cardiovascular Institute, Columbia University Medical Center, and author
