Your book has helped me to take a second look at my diet to see if I can incorporate some of the changes you mentioned." Heart Healthy Diet - The Beginners Guide to Eating Heart Smart! Last fall my 49 year old husband had a massive heart attack. One of the main arteries in the right part of his heart was 100% blocked. After swift action by a team of Cardiologists and the Grace of God, he recovered. This occurrence sent me into an obsessive mode of spending hours researching everything I could find relating to cardiovascular disease and a heart healthy diet. The amount of information available was exuberant and I felt very overwhelmed. All I needed was a starting point, what can I cook for him? What can we eat if we go out? So, anyone else who has endured a similar experience, I hope the short version that I have written provides you with basic knowledge, and recipes that you can build upon to enjoy simple and delicious, heart healthy meals... without the frustration. Diabetic Diet Plan - The Beginners Guide Healthy Eating & Keeping the Flavor! Kay Hersom has also written Diabetic Diet Plan which is a great complementary book for the Heart Healthy Diet, and is loaded with additional information that goes "hand in glove" with eating heart healthy.
