outstanding!

As a position, this is one of the best resources for individuals that are concerned with their overall health and also their heart disease risk. Dr Whyte in my opinion covers all the basis, including diet, exercise, supplements, medications, and questions to ask your physician. He also details, meal plans, and exercise regiment. Another topic he gives an analysis of is the effect of mental health on cardiac health. Highly recommended.!!

Pretty basic advice but a very quick read and the information is easy to digest.
Includes exercise and meal plans at back.
Exercise plan is typical boring gym routines without any photos or diagrams.
Diet plan is odd in that the meal plan for each day varies from 1100 calories to 1800, which is pretty restrictive especially if you add in the proposed exercise program. Probably better to use as a guide for what types of food to eat rather than following it strictly.

3.5 stars. Through the book, I was able to analyze and reflect on my life and in how I can do better. However, lots of the ideas were repeat and weren’t new information for me.
