But the good news—which Ades has made it his mission to spread—is that heart disease is mostly preventable. For example, according to the Nurses’ Health Study, an epidemiological study of more than 84,000 women, if all women were to follow five behaviors, they’d prevent over 80 percent of heart attacks. These behaviors include: 1) not smoking; 2) maintaining a healthy body weight; 3) exercising an average of 30 minutes each day; 4) eating a nutritious diet (high in fiber, fish, leafy vegetables, polyunsaturated fats and low in saturated fats and processed carbohydrates); and 5) drinking alcohol in moderation (about 3.5 drinks per week).

Ades has helped about 10,000 heart patients implement these healthful habits. Now, in his new book EatingWell for a Healthy Heart, Ades extends his message and encouragement to the masses and shares his favorite EatingWell heart-healthy recipes.
