About Heart Disease

Choose This not That for Heart Disease. This colorful app provides comprehensive and actionable nutrition guidelines for a heart healthy diet and how to prevent and combat Heart Disease (aka hardening of the arteries or atherosclerosis) and avoid its various risks & complications. If you rather tackle health issues and risks through proper nutrition and lifestyle changes as opposed to prescription drugs and other typical medical treatments, then this app is for you! Last data update: Aug. 2016.

Highlights of a number of powerful, unique and interactive features and what makes this app so different and superior to others in the market:

• Is this food good for me? This feature answers the common question about suitability of various food items for your personal situation. And it does so in an easy to understand and colorful graphic form.

• Health issues often come our way in groups of two or more. They are often caused by other health complications or result in other illnesses and risks. This publication is the only one in the market that (in addition to atherosclerosis) offers dietary guidance for the COMBINATION of atherosclerosis and the following most likely health risks or issues: Angina, Congestive heart failure, Coronary heart disease, Depression, Diabetes type-2, Excess weight, Heart attack, High blood pressure, High cholesterol, High triglycerides, Rheumatoid arthritis, Stress and Stroke.
• Top-5 recommendations on what to eat/do, and what not to.

• Food Suggestions. You can ask for suggestions on the best food choices within a food group, based on your personal profile. An extremely valuable tool when at restaurants or when grocery shopping.

• ACTIONABLE information on what is good, what is bad, and what is neutral for your condition(s). We single out specific food items, and give you an ordered list of helpful and harmful foods within each food group.

• Suggestions on appropriate life style choices, alternative therapies and herbal remedies, when such options are promising and available to you.

“Proper nutrition and other alternative treatments show great promise in preventing and treating many of the illnesses that we deal with every day. I encourage all my patients to follow appropriate nutrition and research other options for themselves. The Choose This Not That series are an excellent step towards improving people’s knowledge in this area.”

“The Choose This Not That series of apps provide dietary recommendations focused on common chronic health problems. They are easy to understand and thus easy to implement into daily life. Most doctors would find it difficult to discuss dietary recommendations at the level of detail found in the series. They should serve as a valuable complement in helping people manage chronic illnesses through dietary and lifestyle modifications.”
