Dr Ahmad Farshid
Dr Farshid is an Interventional Cardiologist working in Canberra. He has had a long-term interest in diet and nutrition for treatment of cardiovascular disease and risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and excess weight. He has been conducting community workshops for the last four years to promote a plant-based diet and regular exercise for prevention of heart disease, with the help of a dietitian and an exercise physiologist. He believes that as medical science advances, plant-based foods will be increasingly used to treat and prevent disease.
