Overview
Written with John P. Cooke, MD, PhD, a vascular medicine specialist at Stanford University, The Cardiovascular Cure is about the magic within us—the molecule nitric oxide, a substance that can protect the body from heart attack and stroke. Produced in the endothelium, the inner lining of the blood vessel, nitric oxide is responsible for a host of benefits, such as increasing blood flow and keeping the blood vessels free of plaque. Specific nutrients have been found to enhance these benefits—and the book includes a two-week menu plan, complete with recipes that emphasize these nutrients.
Praise
“Helping yourself prevent a heart attack means knowing more than your ‘cholesterol level.’ In this clearly written book, Dr. Cooke introduces you to the important role played by the endothelium (the lining of your blood vessels) in this process, and what you can do to keep this vital organ as healthy as possible.”
—Gerald Reaven, MD, Professor of Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine
