About this listen
During his more than 30 years as a vascular surgeon, Richard Furman literally held clogged arteries and diseased hearts in his hands and wondered why the person lying on the table hadn't been more careful. Heart disease is the number one killer of men and women in America, and in most cases it is completely preventable. So why are we slowly destroying our bodies and killing ourselves? And what can we do to turn it around? The good news is, simple, sustainable lifestyle changes can mean the difference between health and infirmity, between life and death. Putting his three decades of experience and education to work, Dr. Furman gives readers the strategies they need to live not just longer, but younger.

Many people claim they would rather be diagnosed with cancer than dementia or Alzheimer's.

Drawing from the latest medical research, Dr. Richard Furman helps listeners understand brain health and shows them how to make three powerful lifestyle changes that can help decrease the probability of developing dementia or Alzheimer's.

Writing with clear, persuasive language, he explains why conventional treatments that rely on insulin or other blood-glucose-lowering drugs can actually exacerbate the problem, leading to significant weight gain and even heart disease.

Like Having Your PC & Nutritionist In Your House!
You will never again return from your Dr's visit still dumbfounded/bewildered as to why you bothered going in the 1st place...Using the advice in this book, you will know exactly how to correct most medical problems using diet, exercise, and ideal weight.
This book is powerful on several levels. It is an information manual on understanding...
1. The body's arterial structure and functionality.
2. How to read food labels to avoid bad fats that negatively affect the body.
3. The relationship to diet, exercise and maintaining ideal weight and how to achieve all for optimal health.
4.. It shows how to prevent stroke, heart disease, dementia, cancer, ED, and other dysfunctions...
Thank you Dr Furman For the 'Legacy Gift' that you've given to the world. To you I wish the blessings of 3 John 2.
