BOOK REVIEW: Cooking for A Healthy Heart by Jacqui Lynas
Heart disease is the number one killer in the world,
affecting more than 6 million people each year. The good news is that experts
agree eating properly is one of the best ways to combat this. Being a cookbook
and health book, this is one of the very few books on the shelves that will be
your reference for heart health.
In this book, the latest medical advice on keeping your
heart pumping is clearly explained to help you understand heart disease.
Easy-to-follow recipes use a variety of foods and cooking
styles to stimulate your taste buds, and low-fat versions of favourite
traditional dishes are also included.
Each recipe is nutritionally analyzed to help you maintain a
balanced diet. This book also includes menu planners and simple ideas for
swapping bad heart foods for good heart foods.
In my circle of family and friends, I have personally seen
some of them suffer from this silent killer. Fortunately for me, this book was
a blessing in disguise. As a chef, I whipped up heart-healthy recipes and
shared it with them. Giving them respite from pain through food is the least I
can do for them. You can too, just put on your aprons and replace that re-fried
oil!
