ExtractHeart disease is now established as the number one killer in the world, claiming more than six million people each year. Nearly all deaths from heart disease are as a result of a heart attack or "myocardial infarction". About half of all heart attacks are fatal, and in about a third of them death occurs before reaching hospital. In the UK, heart disease will claim a victim every three minutes, and in the USA, every single minute. Many deaths are premature and family, friends and colleagues are all affected by the tragedy. For those who are lucky enough to survive a heart attack, life is never quite the same again. Heart disease has developed into a lethal epidemic and the problem is set to continue as people live longer and have unhealthy lifestyles.Yet heart disease is potentially avoidable and preventable. If you want to beat heart disease, rethinking your lifestyle can help reduce many of the risk factors of heart disease such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking and being overweight. If you already have heart disease, it is never too late to re–evaluate your lifestyle, and there is overwhelming evidence that changing your eating habits can save your life. Dietary advice can be all too confusing, given that we are being bombarded by often conflicting messages, but that is because the effect of diet is complex and there is still much to discover. Simply advocating a low–fat diet is no longer adequate, and current interest is focused on the benefits of a broad–based, multi–faceted dietary approach. This book clearly and concisely explains the latest dietary advice from medical and nutritional experts to help you eat for a healthy heart, and its recommendations are based on consensus opinion and sound scientific research.
