The book shows a three-pringed approach based on modified diet and special foods and vitamins that actually reduce cholesterol. It works by (1) reducing the amount of fat and cholesterol consumed; (2) increasing the quantity of cholesterol eliminated by the body; and (3) limiting the amount of cholesterol produced by the body. It offers a number of practical suggestions for living and enjoying liefe, whether dining out or preparing food at home.

This book focuses on love, friendship, and tough stuff along with some great teen-told tales of learning lessons, making a difference, and growing up. This book is full of teens who share their experiences on learning to accept lifed, becoming the best person you can be, being happy with who you are, and loving yourself -- no matter what. These stories will show you that no matter how difficult your situation may seem, you can make it through the tough times; and that no matter how lonely you may feel, you are never alone.
