The Kardea Gourmet Recipes Include:
"Human beings love to eat and eat well. The Kardea Gourmet allows you to move more quickly along the learning curve. It explores the power of nutrition not simply in terms of cholesterol management, but also for blood pressure, inflammation, and blood sugar regulation. All of these factors play a role in long term heart and arterial health."
"Heart disease appears as we grow older, but it is not a disease of aging. It is a disease of living with factors that can damage our arteries - elevated cholesterol and blood pressure, excessive weight, inflammation and swings in blood sugars. The longer we live, the longer these factors have time to do their damage. Heart healthy eating is about addressing these factors throughout your life."

“I work with my patients on two levels. First is the rational side of moving to healthier eating. It is about education, making sure people understand what they should and should not eat. On another level, I work with my patients to understand why they eat. Discovering what drives their eating helps my patients move toward making healthier choices.”
