COHEN: A diet to prevent and reverse heart disease

The Dean Ornish Program, developed by Dr. Dean Ornish, was the first diet and lifestyle program scientifically proven to reverse heart disease. Ornish is well known in the medical community because of his documented studies that show his diet program can result in an impressive reversal of heart blockage, once thought impossible without surgery or drugs. His first book, “Dr. Dean Ornish’s Program for Reversing Heart Disease,” published in 1990, has been a longstanding New York Times bestseller. Ornish also has written a best-selling weight loss book called “Eat More, Weigh Less.”
