Product Description
The author of the successful 20/30 Fat & Fibre Diet Plan shares his program, achieving significant improvements in blood pressure and cholesterol in as little as 8 weeks.
According to the latest research, a diet rich in high–fibre plants such as oats, barley and nuts can reduce cholesterol levels by nearly 30 per cent – as much as a statin drug – in as little as 4 weeks. That’s just part of the program in The Healthy Heart Miracle.
For those seeking to dramatically reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and diabetes, this simple 8–week program will work with or without cholesterol or blood pressure drugs. For people with heart disease, it provides a roadmap for the lifestyle changes recommended by every cardiologist.
Amazon.com ReviewIn the midst of a carb-cutting craze, Dr. Gabe Mirkin reminds us that not all carbohydrates are alike. Drawing on a post-Atkins approach, Dr. Mirkin and coauthor Diana Mirkin, approach eating and fitness in terms of a healthy hearts rather than a smaller jean size. The centerpiece of their approach is exercise paired with “ASH,”a meatless and whole grain diet designed to reduce chances of suffering from heart attack, diabetes and stroke. The “miracle” of the title refers to how quickly and dramatically this diet can lower blood pressure and “bad” cholesterol counts. Using an eight-week workbook format, the authors offer clear explanations of healthy heart concepts including cholesterol, blood sugar body fat and fiber. They offer accessible assessment tools (body mass index, the apple vs. pear body shape and the “pinch test”). Writing with a clear and engaging style, the Mirkins point readers toward the prevention of diseases such as diabetes, hardened arteries and dementia. As author of the bestselling Sports Medicine Book, Dr. Mirkin emphasizes fitness as much as food. The organization of the book into eight-week modules can be confusing. But the specific ideas including recipes, food lists and fitness options are practical and persuasive. –Barbara Mackoff

This book is the “best of the best”for explaining in easy to understand terms how to lower you blood pressure without medication. I have bought several of these books and often give them away to family and friends if they express an interest.
Rating: 1 / 5
While not a revelation, the information in the book is well organized and creates a system to follow that is effective. The nutritional parts alone make it worth buying.

Really helped my control of blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure (the big three). Good recipes–food that tastes good!

I have listened to Dr Mirkin on his radio shows for years and totally respect him as a Doctor. I have several of his books. This paper back version of Healthy Heart Miracle is wonderful also but I find the type is too small for me to enjoy it totally. I should have looked for the hard cover version which surely is in larger print. That is my only complaint.

This makes sense to me. It’s well written and easy to read and understand.
