What Should I Eat for My Heart?

The basis of this book lies in the inescapable fact that what we do with our bodies has a major impact on our heart and our health. Many people have asked me over my years in private cardiology practice for advice on diet, exercise and weight management. I therefore sought to develop a resource to which people can refer when trying to reduce the risk factors that lead to heart disease. Controlling blood pressure and cholesterol levels, along with proper attention to diet and exercise, will assist in the management and prevention of all areas of heart disease. This book explains how to achieve these key goals in everyday language, interspersed with Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), True or False? and Did you Know? segments drawn from the queries and issues I often hear raised in practice, latest research reports from the medical literature and specialist meetings, or trends in health that are heard about in the media. Good luck to you in your journey towards better heart health.
