"We urge readers to take heed of Dr. Ades's eminently practical program to prevent coronary heart disease. For anyone trying to prevent future heart problems, minimize a family predisposition to coronary artery disease or quell high high risk factors in their health profile, this book and its wealth of appealing recipes is as illuminating and inspiring a guide as you will find."

Introduction
You can change your fate by simply eating well
Many of the mysteries of heart disease have been explained in recent decades. I have learned is that a family history of premature heart disease is not a death sentence bu rather a "Call to arms." Most of the impact of a family history of heart problems is carried by the company it keeps—high cholesterol, high blood pressure, a tendency toward obesity and diabetes—and these are all treatable or preventable.
In preparing this healthy-heart book and lifestyle plan, my goal is to combine my 25 years of clinical and research experience working with patients to minimize their risk of coronary heart disease (CHD).
And 150 recipes from the acclaimed EATINGWELL Test Kitchen will help you make this a delicious journey, with food ideas that will become staples you'll pass on to family and friends.
The result is a wonderful book we can't wait to share with you, so you can stop worrying about your diagnosis and get going with getting healthy!
You'll discover:
- The Basics of CHD—what is is, and why 90 percent of cases are related to lifestyle. Pages 11-12
- How to Reduce Your Risks, One by One, with time-tested, cardiologist-approved ways to confront the warning signs in your life. Page 28-43
- How to Energize Your Life with an exercise plan. Pages 54-59
- Lifelong Strategies—for making sustainable changes in your diet. Pages 60-71
- Recipe Makeover Basics & Secrets—how to make over many of YOUR favorite dishes, like fried chicken and lasagna. Pages 69-70
"My father's sudden death when I was 17 had a huge, lasting impact on me. It gave me a first taste of my own mortality, a powerful feeling that I was programmed to die at age 50. Fortunately, many of the mysteries of heart disease have been explained in recent decades. Simply put, we now have the knowlege—and the self-help strategies—for preventing the number one cause of premature death in men and women."
