This post is about the bestselling cook book by the daughters of Dr Caldwell Esseltyn.

I bought the book following a visit from a great and longterm friend of mine whom I recently invited over to my home for a catch up and an evening playing the guitar. Both he and his daughter are active in the Scottish folk scene, and I have been learning guitar since I was about 16.

My friend declined the meal we were goig to have in favour of food he had prepared and brought with him. Curious we asked him about it and the story he told was illuminating to say the least. He was always an extremely fit and healthy guy and a regular squash player. He had noticed that he was slowing down a bit and just did not seem to have the energy and drive that he was accustomed to.

He was later to discover after having an unexpected heart attack, and an heart operation he done some research into his family history and found that several members of his family had history of heart disease and that he himself would likely be prone to heart disease.

It was around this time that he had heard about the findings of Dr Caldwell, B Esseltyn and his Best selling book, “Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease” where by following his recommended diet it is reported that it was this book was behind President Bill Clintons life changing Plant-Based Diet.

Since we were trying to address our own eating habit’s by researching healthier optins. since retiring we decided to give the diet a try.

We bought the book by his daughters, "The Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease Cookbook".

We followed the diet for a full year and except for some searching different supermarket’s finding products that matched his requirements we began to discover which one’s sold which products.

Overall we really felt for people who choose a complete vegan diet because of thier own belief’s we were not Vegan’s but we were happy to discover a whole new way of looking at our health and well being, we cooked up some fantastic meals and there is a whole range of products available to enable anyone to eat healthier and especially if you are interesting in your own wellbeing we can definately recommend Dr Esseltyn’s diet to others and we hope you have fun with the cook book
