As the leading pioneer of preventive medicine, Dr. Dean Ornish is busting the myth that a healthy lifestyle is doomed to be dull. So if you think life without cheeseburgers is not worth living, listen up. According to Ornish, it’s not just what you eat, it’s how you eat. Living in a spectrum of food, exercise and stress management is what counts.
Sadly, heart and blood vessel diseases kill more men and women than all other causes combined. The good news? Our bodies have an amazing capacity to heal themselves. With the right choices, we can actually prevent, and in some cases reverse, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and prostate cancer. Dr. Ornish shares not only how to live longer, but to live better – free of depression, stress and aggressive aging. Now that’s the good life!
Dean Ornish, M.D., is founder of the non-profit Preventive Medicine Research Institute and a Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. For the past 25 years, Dr. Ornish has pioneered research demonstrating, for the first time, that lifestyle changes may begin to reverse even severe coronary heart disease, without drugs or surgery. He is the author of five best-selling books, including his latest, The Spectrum.
