Finally this week, a book that explores the notion that our health is largely a result of the choices we make -- in what we eat and how active we are.
Its author is Dr. Dean Ornish, professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. He's also founder and president of the nonprofit Preventive Medicine Research Institute.
We spoke recently about his New York Times bestseller, The Spectrum: A Scientifically Proven Program to Feel Better, Live Longer, Lose Weight and Gain Health, just released in paperback.
