Cardiovascular disease—heart, stroke or vascular disease—is the leading cause of death. Now a new ‘silent’ disease is also affecting us: the metabolic syndrome (sometimes called the insulin resistance syndrome or Syndrome X), a collection of abnormalities that increase your risk of heart disease.
The good news is that the type of carbohydrate you eat can help prevent these deadly diseases and ensure better heart health. This handy companion guide to The New Glucose Revolution includes:
the latest statistics and studies on heart disease
easy-to-understand information on the GI
practical tips to make low GI eating a way of life
the latest information on the GL (glycemic load)
eight new seven-day low fat, low GI meal plans including Asian, Greek, Italian, Japanese and Middle Eastern recipes.
With all the information you need about the GI and its benefits for heart health, and easy guidance on following a low GI diet, this is essential reading for anyone interested in having a healthy heart and a healthy life.
