Her Healthy Heart: A Woman's Guide to Preventing and Reversing Heart Disease Naturally
"What you don't knowcankill you," writes Linda Ojeda inHer Healthy Heart. For example, did you know that heart disease and stroke are killing women in record numbers--six times as many as breast cancer, and twice as many as all forms of cancer combined--yet can be prevented and reversed with small lifestyle changes? Ojeda goes beyond the eat-low-fat-and-exercise advice we've all heard a million times. She discusses nutrients, supplements, stress, spirituality, and unhealthy vs. heart-healthy behavior. She describes what conditions and actions increase risk, and what you can do to reverse the effects, with every point backed up by scientific studies. Where there's conflicting information, she presents both sides and makes her best recommendation.Ojeda has always been ahead of her time--she wroteExclusively Femalebefore women knew they could alter the way they felt before and during their periods,Menopause Without Medicinebefore the great flood of menopause books, andSafe Dieting for Teens, the first dieting book aimed at teenagers. Now she again shares the science we haven't heard, this time for our hearts' sakes. This remarkably informative resource will motivate you to take action.--Joan Price
