Product Description
From the author of the landmark bestseller Dr. Dean Ornish’s Program for Reversing Heart Disease comes an empowering new program that enables you to customize a healthy way of eating and living based on your own desires, needs, and genetic predispositions.
Dr. Dean Ornish revolutionized medicine by directing clinical research proving–for the first time–that heart disease and early-stage prostate cancer may be stopped or even reversed by his program of comprehensive lifestyle changes, without drugs or surgery. His newest research was the first to show that changing your lifestyle changes your genes in men with prostate cancer–“turning on” disease-preventing genes, and “turning off” genes that promote breast cancer, heart disease, and other illnesses, and in only three months. This study documented, also for the first time, that these lifestyle changes may significantly increase an enzyme that lengthens telomeres–the ends of your chromosomes that control how long you live. As your telomeres get longer, your life gets longer. Your genes are not your fate.
The Spectrum features one hundred easy-to-prepare, delicious recipes from award-winning chef Art Smith. Whether you want to lose weight, lower your cholesterol, reverse a major disease, or find a sustainable, joyful lifestyle, The Spectrum can make a powerful difference in your health and well-being.

 Health is everything February 3, 2010
Kevin Cimring (Silicon Valley)
If you don't have your health, you have nothing. Unfortunately I recently learnt of this first-hand. This book by well-known nutrition guru Dean Ornish MD points out the do's and don'ts of healthy eating and living. There are tons of books on this subject, but the Spectrum is especially useful in providing a a wide range of choices depending on your personal health and what your objectives are. There are some great pointers here. I keep coming back to the various chapters in this book as a great reference guide. Recommended if you want to eat healthy and live healthy.

In the world of healthfood and supplement hype, it is refreshing to get true, scientifically proven information regarding health. The fact that serious diseases can be avoided or improved upon by simply modifying behavior, make this book a treasure.

My cardiologist recommended this book to me for my high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Unlike most diets, Dean Ornish's program is a complete lifestyle change, not a fad diet. He makes it easy for you to choose the foods that are healthier and allows you to splurge when you need it. I've already recommended this book to my family, friends and co-workers...

A 'must' book for every household, at last a clear explanation how to eat and live healthier. For all of us and especially for the younger generation.
From an optimistic 'cancer-fighter'.
