It's a fact that people with heart disease lack energy. The heart needs a large amount of oxygenated blood to continuously meet its huge energy demands. That's where the new quartet of cardiac health comes in: Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), carnitine, ribose and magnesium. The synergistic combination of these energy-supplying nutrients maximises the amount of oxygen that the heart and skeletal muscle can extract from the blood by accelerating the rate at which cells convert nutrients to energy. In THE SINATRA SOLUTION, cardiologist, Stephen T. Sinatra, discusses the importance of energy metabolism on cardiovascular health and the positive impact these three energy-supplying nutrients have on the cardiovascular system. Dr. Sinatra knows that understanding energy metabolism in the heart is critical to devising effective therapies for treating heart disease. He guides readers through the basics of energy metabolism and cardiac bioenergetics and clearly explains the roles of ribose, carnitine and CoQ10 in the body and specifically how they affect heart health.
He presents concise and informative case histories and scientific studies that demonstrate the important contribution the supplemental use of these energy-supplying nutrients makes in the lives of people with heart disease every day. While the main focus of THE SINATRA SOLUTION is on improving heart health, this book also touches upon the positive effect the "the awesome foursome" has on other diseases and disorders. Readers will learn that the supplemental use of these miraculous nutrients isn't limited to healing a sick heart and preventing heart disease. Their energy-enhancing abilities work throughout the body, essentially charging up every body cell to function at optimal capacity.
