Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr.'s Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, based on his twenty-year nutritional study, challenged conventional cardiology by proving that plant-based, oil-free, nut-free nutrition can not only prevent and stop the progression of heart disease, but actually reverse its effects.
Ann Crile Esselstyn has been called the Julia Child of plant-based
cooking.
Jane Esselstyn is a nurse, researcher, recipe designer and married
mother of three.
They live in Cleveland, Ohio.
"In my lifetime, I've understood diet played a big role in the
quality of my life, so I ate what I considered to be good for me.
From childhood, the litany of ‘eat your vegetables’ was drummed
into me, sometimes literally. Naturally, me being Southern, there
was always meat served with those veggies, and most times it was
used to flavor them. 64 years later, I meet the Esselstyns, and
they say ‘eat your vegetables, but eat them raw or cooked with no
oil!’ WHAT?! But, I tried it. It's truly amazing what the
things I already liked really tasted like. Even more amazing: the
number of plant-based creations that are possible. I won't go into
the gigantic health benefits that came my way as a result of my
decision to go plant-based, but I will say that 30 lost pounds and
an infinite number of compliments later, I'm more than happy. I
hope you'll treat yourself to one of these recipes and just open
that door. I guarantee you won't close it!"
—Samuel L. Jackson
