This is a speech Dr. Dean Ornish presented to a TED audience years ago.  Dr. Ornish, one of our Medical Experts, talks about how simple lifestyle changes, including a healthy diet, stress reduction, mild exercise, and involvement in support groups and other intimate relationships can prevent, and actually reverse some of the largest debilitating and deadly diseases in our lives.  Your health and longevity are affected by these techniques.

Dr. Ornish was the first nutrition medical researcher to actually demonstrate that diet and lifestyle changes can not only prevent, but can actually REVERSE heart disease.  He and his colleagues have subsequently shown that these techniques can prevent and actually reverse cancer, diabetes and increase our telomeres which affects how long we live.  These are very powerful results associated with simple changes in our lives.

Dr. Ornish’s program is offered in many hospitals and is now paid for by Medicare and some insurance companies —  because it works!

I’ll  be writing more about Dr. Ornish and his programs in future blog posts.  In the meantime, you can learn a lot more about Dr Ornish and his programs with a google search.  One of his website is DrOrnish.com.
