The Heart Care Program: Dietary Management Of Cholesterol

Excellent production values inform this four-part video on reducing cholesterol levels for a healthier heart. The first segment, "Eating to Live, Living to Eat" offers seven basic steps for making better food choices; "Good and Healthy," the second segment, dispels common myths about cholesterol; the third segment, "How to Be a Low-Fat Eater in a High-Fat World," examines options at fast food places and restaurants; and the final segment, "Tomorrow's Kitchen," addresses shopping, modifying recipes, and low-fat cooking techniques. The information here is fairly general, making the price a bit high (similar, more current fare, is available at a lower price). Too, there are long intervals between the different segments--which should be noted on the box. Still, libraries looking for extra material in this area may want to consider this. Recommended. [Note: the program is also available on four separate videotapes for $150.] (Available from: Hall-Foushee Productions, Inc., 1313 5th Street SE, Suite 214B, Minneapolis, MN 55414.)
