From the distinguished author of the Strong Women health series comes an important book for any woman who wants to take charge of her heart health.
Heart disease kills more women than men each year, yet it is still mistakenly thought of as a "man's disease." In this comprehensive and practical guide, top women's health expert and author Miriam E. Nelson, Ph.D., teams up with heart expert Alice H. Lichtenstein, D.Sc., to present up-to-date advice on diet, exercise, weight loss, stress reduction, and other key strategies tailored specifically for women.
With self-evaluations, checklists, exercises, recipes, and other practical information, as well as the latest research findings, this empowering book will help readers assess their risks, understand their options, and make important changes to improve their heart health.

Summary: Same old, same old
Comment: Women's bodies and health problems are different than mens. I had hoped that this book, written by female doctors, would shed some new light on this situation. It did not. I did not even finish reading it and sent it off to the used book store.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Good book for those not in the know
Comment: I thought this was a very good book - but for people who really have no, or very little knowledge about taking care of their heart. It gives very good info on how the heart works, different procedures, and exercise. Diet is also included with recipes

Summary: strong women,strong hearts :a practical guide
Comment: This is a highly readable scientifically based book on how to decrease the risk of developing heart disease. The strongest points are its emphasis on cardiovascular disease in women and the evidence based scientific literature regarding the nature of the problem and the approaches to decreasing heart disease. The dietary advice is sound without being trendy or glib, the advice on appropriate receipes is useful. The guide to adequate exercise and physical activity is very helpful. An excellent book by science professionals for the laymen audience.
