Ebook: Lipoprotein(a),: The Heart's Quiet Killer: A Diet and LIfestyle Guide

Leading medical professionals and best-selling authors Michael Greger, Dean Ornish, Joel Fuhrman, and David L. Katz have lauded cardiologist Joel Kahn on this breakthrough book on lipoprotein(a). An estimated one in five people have elevated levels of a type of cholesterol called lipoprotein(a) which can increase the risk for cardiovascular disease, including blocked arteries, blood clots, and stroke. Dr. Kahn explains how this condition is a factor of genetics rather than poor lifestyle choices, pinpoints who needs to have their levels checked, and which types of tests to request. He also shares research that shows plant-based diets in general provide the best defense against heart attacks, strokes, and cardiovascular disease and can play an important role in protecting individuals with elevated lipoprotein(a) levels. He has partnered with vegan expert Beverly Lynn Bennett who provides dozens of delicious, oil-free recipes that feature foods rich in the nutrients found to be the most protective for heart-health.
