- Hjärt­sjukdomar kan stabiliseras och fås att gå tillbaka med hjälp av diet- och livsstilsförändringar.- Statiner har ingen tydlig effekt för att fördröja utveckling av hjärtsjukdomar. Det är två av de slutsatser som den brittiske kardiologen Aseem Malhotra kommer fram till i Frisk utan statiner, där han undersöker i vilken mån den etablerade synen på statiner är vetenskapligt grundad. I sin bok presenterar han en alternativ, statinfri metod för att förebygga och reversera hjärt­sjuk­domar, där fokus ligger på hälsosamma matvanor och livstilar. Aseem Malhotra tar även upp hur man på ett tidigt sta­dium kan bli medveten om riskfaktorerna för hjärtsjukdomar och hur man kan beräkna dem. Hjärtsjukdomar är den främsta dödsorsaken i västvärlden och den vanligaste medicinen mot dem är statiner. När statinläkemedlen introdu­cerades trodde forskare att de helt skulle eliminera hjärtsjukdomar. Men så blev inte fallet. Aseem Malhotra är överläkare inom kardiologi och professor i evidensbaserad medicin. Han medverkar som expert i ­brittiska och inter­na­tionella medier och skriver i vetenskapliga tidskrifter som British Medical Journal och ­European Scientist. År 2020 utgav han boken Bättre immunförsvar på 21 dagar (Karneval). I Storbritannien är Aseem Malhotra en fram­trädande representant för den »livsstilsmedi­cinska« rörelsen. År 2018 utnämndes han av företaget Onalytica till den mest inflytelserika läkaren i världen vad gäller opinionsbildning kring fetma. Aseem Malhotra: Varför är hjärtsjukdomar fortfarande dödsorsak nummer ett? Under läkarutbildningen fick vi lära oss vilka de traditionellt ­vikti­gaste riskfaktorerna för hjärtsjukdomar är: högt kolesterol, ­diabetes, rökning, högt blodtryck och hög ålder. Dagens undervisning förmedlar samma budskap. Ändå har vi, trots decenniers forskning, inte bara misslyckats med att utrota ­hjärt­sjukdomarna de är fortfarande dödsorsak nummer ett i västvärlden. Hur ska man förklara det? Det beror först och främst på att hälso- och ­sjukvårdens primära medel för att förebygga och behandla hjärtproblem har fokuserat på läkemedel (vilket har haft mycket begränsad effekt), istället för att ta itu med ­bakomlig­gande orsaker. För det andra beror det på att de konven­­tio­­­nella kostråden om att begränsa kolesterol genom att minska konsumtionen av mättat fett inte bara är felaktiga, utan också san­nolikt har ökat risken för hjärtsjukdom genom att stimulera den enskilt viktigaste faktorn bakom kranskärlssjukdom och hjärt­infarkt, nämligen insulin­resistens.

Have you ever felt an inner prompting to share your faith with someone and then struggled to find the right words? Or perhaps you see a friend or work colleague in difficult circumstances and want to offer a word of encouragement. Your heart aches for them and although your thoughts may turn towards God, for some reason, the right words just don't seem to come. For the silent majority, this is sadly the case. Ross Walker has been involved in market place ministry for almost 40 years and has made the observation "Christians who are unable to confidently share their faith will often remain silent at a time when the rocks and stones are wanting to cry out that Jesus Christ is Lord".(Lu 19:40)Paradoxically, the evidence of true discipleship includes always being ready to give an account of our faith. Our lamp (or testimony) it is not meant to be hidden under the bed, any more than our talents (gifts, skills and abilities) are meant to be buried in the ground. If you are serious about obeying the Great Commission, but have experienced difficulty in sharing your faith, this book is for you This book demonstrates that if we allow our faith to conquer our fears, all things become possible. This includes the supernatural power of God being released into our lives to perform miracles, signs and wonders in line Jesus' declaration "And these signs shall accompany those who believe...." (Mark 16:17). Market Place Ministry uses many tools, teachings and examples from the Bible narrative to communicate the gospel message in a manner that sits within a modern-day context and is easy to understand and apply.
