Die Ernährungs-Docs - Starkes Herz

For decades, heart disease has been the leading cause of death in Western industrialized countries. The number of affected individuals continues to rise. Nearly half a million people are hospitalized each year due to heart failure; many die from its consequences. However, this lifestyle-related disease is largely preventable. Ninety percent of all heart attacks are caused by poor lifestyle choices and could be easily avoided. This is a typical case for the Nutrition Docs: the key to success lies primarily in diet. Eating heart-healthy foods is a form of both preventive and follow-up care. Even after a heart attack, a good diet can lead to a reduced need for medications and sometimes even prevent further procedures. The renowned TV doctors Dr. Anne Fleck, Dr. Jörn Klasen, Dr. Matthias Riedl, and Dr. Silja Schäfer demonstrate in their new book how our everyday food affects our blood vessels and cardiovascular system, and how easily anyone can do something good for their heart and prevent diseases.
