About the Book
In this title, Dale explains that heart disease is at epidemic proportions and rising,
and attempts to find out why… and what we can do about it. His approach – using
nutrition alongside conventional medicine – is to avoid the dietary baddies that may
contribute to the problem. And he has some revolutionary ideas about what those
might be.
Dale shows how the heart works and gives you the tools you need to help
yourself. His approachable, readable style reveals cardiovascular workings clearly.
Dale peers inside the modern western kitchen storecupboard and shows what
should be going into it with a comprehensive list of heart-healthy food. Vitally,
he reveals what needs to be thrown out and never replaced… among them some
startlingly common foods! Dale shows how easy it can be to incorporate powerful
super-nutrients into your diet and what foods and supplements can provide them.
Each recipe has a check-list showing the components it contains that are
particularly heart-healthy. Start the day with a Salmon and asparagus frittata, dine
sumptuously on Black olive and anchovy-stuffed chicken breast with sweet potato
mash and finish it all off with Pears poached in spiced red wine. If these seem miles
away from a conventional heart-healthy diet, that is because Dale believes much
modern-day dietary advice is wrong. Learn his secrets for yourself and eat your way
to better heart health.
