Heart disease is the single leading cause of death in America. Yet, it's largely preventable. Changes in diet, behavior, and lifestyle can go a long way toward minimizing the chance of developing heart disease. In addition, people who already have heart disease can help reverse the course of their illnesses through healthy modifications in diet, behavior, and lifestyle under the care of a physician.A board certified family physician has taken the initiative in getting the word out to people in a practical way. He's Dr. Frank Barry, Director of the Preventive Health Institute in Colorado Springs, Colorado USA. He has written a book about something he knows well: helping people with heart disease lead healthier lives, and helping those without it prevent it.
His book, co-authored with Registered Dietitian Bridget Swinney, is called Make the Change for a Healthy Heart: The Powerful, New, Commonsense Approach to Preventing and Reversing Heart Disease.
According to Dr. Barry, Make the Change offers a wealth of information for those wishing to beat heart disease, the #1 killer in America. "Best of all," said Dr. Barry, "it gives real advice for real people and is illustrated with a touch of humor, making it easy, enjoyable and motivating to read."
"Make the Change for a Healthy Heart is a valuable addition for preventing, treatment and even reversing coronary artery disease through appropriate dieting, stress management and exercise," said Mark V. Barrow, M.D., Ph.D., Gainesville Cardiology and Medical Center. "It provides the patient an opportunity to take charge and play a very active role in prevention and reversal of coronary artery disease."
Dr. Barry's book, it seems to us, is just what the doctor ordered. The cost is $14.95 U.S.; $19.95, Canada. To order, contact:
