The Easiest Portfolio Diet Cookbook for Seniors: Easy and Quick Recipes to Lower Cholesterol, Support Heart Health and Reclaim Your Energy by June Harford
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I purchased this book when I was researching a different medication my cardiologist wanted me to try. All the medications recommend a "cholesterol-lowering diet" in addition to medication. I was failing with general information from DASH diet, Mediterranean diet, MIND diet so I asked CoPilot for 5 "cholesterol-lowering diets" and the Portfolio diet was the first one I was unfamiliar with.
I appreciate the excellent esplanation of what the Portfolio Diet is and why using foods from the 4 pillars of groups: water-soluble grains, nuts, plant proteins, and plant sterols are documented in scientific literature.
I appreciate these recipes are simple with just the main ingredients shown without additional onions, spices, and tomatoes because those may trigger a different chronic condition of my own. There are 78 recipes in this book. I can more easily adapt recipes I already know I like.
