Editorial Reviews
“Dr. Furman lays out a thorough review of the medical literature,
written in layman’s terms in such a way that is easily understood. Read it.
Apply it. If you are like the majority of Americans, you will become seven to
twelve years younger physiologically than you presently are
chronologically.” —Bill Frist, nationally recognized heart-and-lung-transplant surgeon, former US Senate majority leader, and chairman of the executive council of Cressey and Company
“Narrator
Sean Runnette employs a serious tone to describe Dr. Furman’s surgical
experiences with clogged hearts and diseased arteries, which led to exhaustive
research of his patients’ lifestyles. In a gravelly voice, Runnette captures
the doctor’s stunning findings on diet and exercise that can increase a
person’s lifespan by seven to fourteen years. Runnette switches to a more conversational
tone as he lists foods that should be avoided, such as cheese, described as the
worst ‘artery and heart clogger,’ followed by red meat. At a slower
pace, he presents Furman’s recommended foods list. He wraps up with Furman’s ‘ten-minute tip’ for developing dietary self-control: Wait ten minutes
before picking up the food that tempts you.” —AudioFile
