"Patients have to know that there are high risk and low risk coronary plaques. The presence of high risk plaques carries a serious prognostic risk."

THE CARDIOBIS MEDITERRANEAN DIET
Weight loss is not "mind over matter," it's "mind over pancreas."
Eat slowly so that pancreatic function can better process digestion with less storage from insulin
Feed your pancreas not your heart
