Emilia Klapp’s book, Your Heart Needs the Mediterranean Diet, offers a glimpse of how a Registered Dietitian can personalize a lifestyle intervention. This book is presented in an innovative, fun to read, yet informative manner, and considers the whole person, not just diet.
It gives simple explanations on the ‘whys’ of eating more fruits and vegetables or such topics as how hypertension stresses the body. This clever book is so delightful to read; you won’t even realize you are learning about the Mediterranean lifestyle for a healthier ‘you’.
The Mediterranean lifestyle has been proven by scientific research to have health benefits, and now it can be followed easily with this handy and entertaining guide that includes tips and recipes.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants to make a change to a healthier lifestyle. “Emilia Klapp’s innovative book offers a glimpse of how a Registered Dietitian can personalize a lifestyle intervention.

Review by Marielina Figueroa MA, RD, CDE
Your Heart Needs the Mediterranean Diet
Learn How Mediterraneans Have Kept a Healthy Heart for Centuries
Everyone wants to be thin. We try many diets and we lose weight each time, but eventually the weight creeps back to where we started, perhaps even a pound or two more. Maintaining a healthy weight seems to be difficult, almost impossible.
How can we achieve a healthy weight and maintain it? The answer is the Mediterranean lifestyle. But, how do we get there? Do we have to give up our favorite foods? When is there time for exercising?
This is not just another diet book. Emilia has put together a unique book, filled with practical advice which teaches you the small steps to take, one at a time, so that you can incorporate good habits into your life. Find tips that easily accommodate into your daily routine. Soon you will think “this is so much easier than I thought it would be” and you will start feeling better.
We all want to feel good. Why live longer if we do not feel well and cannot do the things we like to do? This book is based on scientific research concluding that the Mediterranean diet helps enhance health. Don’t waste more money on diet books. Invest in yourself. Take time to learn how to improve your health, as well as your waistline. This book will help you learn the health promoting habits of the Mediterranean culture.
