Summary:
Follow your H-E-A-R-T.
Heart
disease
remains the #1 killer of men and women in the U.S., claiming nearly one million lives each year--more than ever before, despite recent advances in medical research that are paving the way for us to live longer, healthier lives. Our supercharged modern lifestyle can still damage our hearts and put us in danger of cardiovascular events. The good news is that, in most cases, optimal
heart
health can be achieved without a prescription. Yet there's no "magic bullet" or quick fix--reversing and ultimately preventing
heart
disease
requires a long-term, sustainable approach. In The
Heart
Health Bible, Dr. John M. Kennedy draws on more than twenty years of experience as a preventative and interventional cardiologist to offer an empowering approach to
heart
health with H-E-A-R-T, a five-point
plan
to lower your risk of cardiovascular
disease
: Heal your blood pressure -- Energize your
heart
-- Act on fat -- Reduce blood sugar -- Tackle triglycerides. Dr. Kennedy show how to incorporate each of these steps into your daily routine, creating a foundation for wellness that can save your life. The
Heart
Health Bible also includes Dr. Kennedy's 5 For 1 Diet, featuring heart-healthy foods and recipes, as well as a
plan
to help parents start their kids on a heart-healthy lifestyle. -- Back cover.
