Lower Your Risk of Heart Disease

Obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer – all diseases that have been scientifically linked to diet –are at an all-time high. “But there’s a way to prevent and fight these diseases that has been successful for millions of people for thousands of years,” says Dr. Michael Ozner, one of America’s leading advocates for heart disease prevention.

His book, the Complete Mediterranean Diet, offers the traditional Mediterranean diet, clinically proven to reduce your risk of heart disease and other debilitating diseases. It’s simple. The main components include whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, legumes, fish, olive oil, and red wine (in moderation). With over 500 recipes, the book shows you how and why to change your diet for a longer, healthier, happier life.
