Optimum Health

by Stephen T. Sinatra

What does it take to achieve Optimum Health? Dr. Steve Sinatra, Chief of Cardiology and Director of Medical Education at Manchester Memorial Hospital in Manchester, Connecticut, has created this research-based, yet practical health reference for health professionals and their patients.

For most people, life can be better than it presently is. Cardiologist Steve Sinatra's exciting new book shows you how you can improve your health and enjoy life more.

Optimum Health will provide you with some clear guidelines about vitamins, minerals, nutritionals, fat, fiber and cholesterol. You will also learn valuable concepts about exercise, healing foods and the very latest information about physical and spiritual anti-aging strategies. And, importantly, Sinatra shows a definite connection between weight management, love and sexuality.

Dr. Sinatra provides plenty of practical, research-based information in this handy health reference that you'll turn to again and again. For example, Sinatra raises and answers the questions, "Why do some people get sick and others don't?"

According to Sinatra, "A diet rich in foods and nutrients that heal may well be our best line of defense against the country's environmental and degenerative killers, such as cancer, heart disease and autoimmune disorders."

In an age where our bodies are ravaged by the effects of environmental toxins, stress, cancer-causing chemicals and aging, Optimum Health provides you with a powerful resource to fight back.
