Synopsis
In THE SPECTRUM, Dr. Dean Ornish provides a wealth of information designed to help readers make good choices about transforming their health. Dr. Ornish distills three decades of research into, and writing on, what makes people healthy and how diseases can be prevented through diet and lifestyle changes. He knows that diets that demand deprivation do not work, but that people will stay with programs that make sense to them and which empower them to make good choices. Ornish explains basic, and sometimes confusing, concepts, such as the importance of Omega-3, or the difference between good and bad carbs and fats. Charts and tables listing the benefits of a range of fruits and vegetables help readers design a comprehensive, personalized plan for eating and exercising.
Dr. Ornish provides information on ways of managing stress through meditation, as well as good exercise goals. He offers advice and support on lowering cholesterol and blood pressure, controlling diabetes, and preventing and reversing cardiovascular disease, prostate cancer, and breast cancer. In collaboration with chef Art Smith, Ornish presents interesting and do-able recipes for breakfast (11, including Zucchini Frittata), lunch (23, including Quick Mediterranean Quinoa Salad), and dinner (34, including Curried Vegetable Hot Pot), plus snacks and desserts. He also includes helpful kitchen information. Overall, THE SPECTRUM is a generous, comprehensive, and user-friendly guide to a "'heal yourself" approach that is intended to last. Illustrated.
