(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

From the creator of the South Beach Diet comes a call to change the fast-food, sedentary way of life that's aging us quickly and killing us slowly. In today's couch-potato culture, two-thirds of all adults and one-third of all children are either overweight or obese, rates of diabetes and heart disease are soaring, and the future for many of us looks dismal. The time for a transformation is now, and cardiologist Dr. Arthur Agatston, creator of the South Beach Diet, is determined to reverse America's failing health profile with his Toxic Turnaround. This empowering program provides realistic strategies and tools everyone can use (including 30 new MegaFood recipes) to shop, cook, eat, and exercise better--improving the family table, getting quality sleep, reducing stress, and making our homes and communities healthier.--From publisher description.
