NATIONAL BESTSELLER - By the pioneer of lifestyle medicine, a
simple, scientifically program proven to often reverse the progression
of the most common and costly chronic diseases and even begin reversing
aging at a cellular level! Long rated "#1 for Heart Health" by U.S.
News & World Report, Dr. Ornish's Program is now covered by Medicare
when offered virtually at home.
Dean Ornish, M.D., has directed revolutionary research proving, for the
first time, that lifestyle changes can often reverse--undo!--the
progression of many of the most common and costly chronic diseases and
even begin reversing aging at a cellular level.
Medicare and many insurance companies now cover Dr. Ornish's lifestyle
medicine program for reversing chronic disease because it consistently
achieves bigger changes in lifestyle, better clinical outcomes, larger
cost savings, and greater adherence than have ever been reported--based
on forty years of research published in the leading peer-reviewed
medical and scientific journals.
Now, in this landmark book, he and Anne Ornish present a simple yet
powerful new unifying theory explaining why these same lifestyle changes
can reverse so many different chronic diseases and how quickly these
benefits occur. They describe what it is, why it works, and how you can
do it:
- Eat well a whole foods, plant-based diet naturally low in fat and
sugar and high in flavor. The "Ornish diet" has been rated "#1 for Heart
Health" by U.S. News & World Report for eleven years since 2011.
- Move more moderate exercise such as walking
- Stress less including meditation and gentle yoga practices
- Love more how love and intimacy transform loneliness into healing
With seventy recipes, easy-to-follow meal plans, tips for stocking your
kitchen and eating out, recommended exercises, stress-reduction advice,
and inspiring patient stories of life-transforming benefits--for
example, several people improved so much after only nine weeks they were
able to avoid a heart transplant--Undo It! empowers readers with new
hope and new choices.
Praise for Undo It!
