U.S. News and World Report announced earlier today that their panel of experts rated the “Ornish Diet” as the “
#1
Best Heart-Healthy Diet” for the 9th time since they began rating diets in 2011:
For the 1st time, a randomized controlled clinical trial has demonstrated that an intensive lifestyle intervention, without drugs, may significantly improve cognition & function in many patients with mild cognitive impairment or early dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease.
