Bonnie Polin and Frances Giedt are type 1 and type 2 diabetics. They develop recipes and menus to protect the hearts of people with cardiac disease. The Cleveland Clinic cookbook compiles information about healthy lifestyle and eating, with recipes from simple to gourmet. It provides healthy recipes and tips for diverse and tasty meals to promote better heart health for the entire family and their friends.
The first third of the Cleveland Clinic Healthy Heart Lifestyle Guide and Cookbook is a healthy lifestyle guide packed with advice and tips on the "what" and "why" behind lifestyle risk factors. Bonnie Polin and Frances Giedt discuss topics like diabetes, cholesterol, hypertension and fitness in a simple yet comprehensive manner. Readers learn about food labels, portion control, vitamin supplements, snacking and reasons for craving food.
The remainder of the Healthy Heart cookbook features recipes with suggestions and tips for preparation, substitution, serving and storage. A dietitian's note adds nutrition information. Each recipe has a per serving breakdown of calories, fat, protein, carbohydrate, fiber, cholesterol, sodium and potassium.
