Book Description

August 2001
Heart disease is the number one killer of American women. And the number of cases of women with diseases of the heart and blood vessels is increasing.

This remarkable new book sorts through the most recent medical findings and then explains, in easy-to-read yet straight-forward language, the various aspects of heart disease. Dr. Wells helps you define your own risk profile, and then shows you how to make proven, manageable changes in your eating habits, stress level, exercise routines and attitude that will help lower your risk level and even reverse the effects of heart disease.

Healthy Hearts, Healthy Women is for all women who may be "at risk" for or are already diagnosed with heart disease, as well as their friends and family. It is also an excellent tool for health and fitness professionals who work with "at-risk" clients.
