The HAPI Heart Diet

Heart disease and stroke continue to be leading causes of death and disability in the United States. Obesity and associated Type 2 diabetes are on the rise. While many doctors can guide you to appropriate medical treatment for these conditions, finding the right diet and exercise program presents a different challenge altogether.

Author and noted lipoprotein ('cholesterol') disorder specialist, Michael P. Varveris, MD ('Dr. V'), combines intelligence and wisdom from his training and experience in medical science with common-sense and intuition from his life-long interest in exercise and nutrition in The HAPI Heart Diet. A health-promoting lifestyle that includes daily physical activity and eating foods that the human body was actually designed to consume is described. Based on research from Varveris's Heart Attack Prevention Institute (HAPI) in Naples, Florida, the five basic principles of this innovative approach are as follows:

• Eat less
• Eat smarter
• Exercise more
• Exercise smarter
• Have the right attitude

Dr. V also delves into how such strategies prevent, retard or even reverse cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, lipoprotein disorders and obesity. In addition, over 50 pages of delicious nutritional recipes are included-guaranteed to help you follow the five basic principles.
