Publisher's Synopsis
This the 20th book in my Mini Health Series which deals with one of the major health killers in the Western world-heart disease, I also cover high blood pressure and stroke-all part of the circulatory system. I describe how each condition is diagnosed and what the health risks are. There are personal lifestyle factors involved in each of these medical conditions which you can do something about, as well as genetic factors which are a little more difficult to deal with. Some dietary and lifestyle suggestions are included as well as a section on vitamin and mineral supplements and herbal products, all of which could give you the best possible chance of avoiding these major health issues. Statistical tables have been included at the back of the book showing the top ten causes of death in the US, Canada, part of the UK (England and Wales) and Australia. These tables show that heart disease is the biggest killer in the US. Australia. England and Wales (part of the UK) and Canada have now pushed this into second place-cancer (of all types) being the number one killer in those countries. This book has been written in an easy to understand style, which will be of interest to anyone who desires to know more about these major medical conditions. It will also be of interest to students of nutrition, who want a basic knowledge of which foods and dietary supplements are of benefit to the circulatory system of the body. By reading this book you will be able to make some personal lifestyle choices to give yourself the best possible chance of not becoming one of the numbers in the country statistical tables.
