      Narrator Sean Runnette employs a serious tone to describe Dr. Furman's surgical experiences with clogged hearts and diseased arteries, which led to exhaustive research of his patients' lifestyles. In a gravelly voice, Runnette captures the doctor's stunning findings on diet and exercise that can increase a person's lifespan by 7 to 14 years. Runnette switches to a more conversational tone as he lists foods that should be avoided, such as cheese, described as the worst "artery and heart clogger," followed by red meat. At a slower pace, he presents Furman's recommended foods list. He wraps up with Furman's "10-minute tip" for developing dietary self-control: Wait 10 minutes before picking up the food that tempts you. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine
