Heart Health Bible

by John M. Kennedy

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

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.

I enjoyed this book written by a renowned cardiologist from UCLA. He advice seems really sound. He does not like to push medicine, even though his (and other) bosses rate him and others better if they prescribe medicine. Dr. Kennedy advises diet, exercise, and lowering stress as the way to combat most ills. If we can put in to practice his ideas, we would all be healthier. I may at some point get this book for my personal library

Like all self help books, this one suffers from repetition and rambling-it's. There's some interesting information in there but it didn't need to be an entire book. Also, what is its with American self help authors and their need to give everything stupid cutesy names?

There were numerous grammar, spelling and typography errors that were very distracting. I almost wondered if it was self-published.

I had to read this one for a book review for work. This guy needs a copy editor! It took all my self control not to edit his book for him. Good information and a good reference, but terrible comma usage. Ha!
