Since increased coronary risk is related to living habits--eating patterns, smoking, physical activity, etc.--information leading to a greater health awareness is presented in a cookbook format. Background material on heart disease and risk factors, and practical medical advice which can be incorporated into daily food habits encourage consumers to adopt a risk factor approach to nutrition. Recommendations for maintaining ideal body weight and limiting dietary intakes of salt, saturated fat and cholesterol are given. Specific guidelines for following these recommendations are included along with a variety of recipes to help families lessen their nutritional risk. Dining out, nutritional labeling, and the use of food groups in meal planning are also discussed. An alphabetized table lists the nutritive value of all recipes.
