What should we eat for health, defined by heart healthy cholesterol levels associated with quality of life and longevity? The book provides and easy "How To" format for readers to make their food choices that reduce harmful cholesterol, insulin, carcinogens, and free radicals. The first 10-chapters instruct readers how to design a menu for cardiovascular health. Chapter 11 provides a fill-out form for specific foods and supplements, when consumed chronically, result in a healthy cardiovascular lipids profile.

AUTHOR'S CASE STUDY
The author tested this hypothesis as a subject following the book's directions by designing his own personal menu for 30-days resulting in total cholesterol decreasing -45 points[-19%] in the first 30-days, and -61 points[-26%] after 60-days application. Such results are seldom observed of from diet alone. Using the book's directions, anyone can design a menu consisting of specific foods and supplements that may generate an improved blood lipid profile. Consumption of excess animal-based foods and processed byproducts are harmfully compromising cardiovascular health. A plant food-dominant lifestyle is the basis proposed for increasing longevity, quality of life by improving serum cholesterol fractions. During 2008-2009, volunteers who applied the book's directions, also reported weight loss and increased energy at levels previously unattainable by their former diet.
