Dr. Ornish makes an important point:
“Many people tend to think of advances in medicine as high-tech and expensive, such as a new drug, laser, or surgical procedure. They often have a hard time believing that something as simple as diet and lifestyle changes can make such a powerful difference in our lies - but they often do.”
He notes that diet and lifestyle changes (the latter involving exercising more and stress reduction techniques) and stop or reverse the progression of some early-stage cancers, heart disease, diabetes, and may prolong life generally.
The authors, both medical doctors, then describe the plant-based way of eating, and outline suggestions for gradually switching over from a primary reliance on animal products (meat and dairy) and heavily-processed foods. They talk about eating out, pointing out that many ethnic restaurants - especially those featuring Asian cuisine - offer delicious food that conforms with their suggestions. They also provide suggestions for traveling and a discussion of nutrition.
A good deal of the book is devoted to recipes, including breakfasts, wraps and roll-ups, side dishes and salads, soups and stews, casseroles, pasta, grains, sauces, and desserts.
