Heart to Heart : A Personal Plan for Creating a Heart - Healthy Family
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
We know the facts. We've heard the statistics. We're all concerned about someone's heart health, whether it's our parents, our spouses, our children or ourselves. So why aren't we doing anything about it? Dr. Lori Mosca wrestled with that question for decades and ultimately developed a breakthrough motivational program to help busy women focus on what can and should be done for themselves and their families. The outreach program she established at New York-Presbyterian Hospital reaches more than 100,000 women a year, and it is currently in the top six percentile for NIH grants--an amazing accomplishment for a motivation-based program. Heart to Heart is Dr. Mosca's definitive guide to preventive heart care for women. It is a personal, intimate, nonjudgmental conversation between one of America's leading doctors--who also happens to be a wife, daughter and mother--and a public that needs motivation and inspiration not just more facts. Chapters on the need for solitude, putting yourself first, family dynamics and spirituality complement traditional subjects such as diet, fitness, complementary medicine and drug protocols to create a book that is more lifestyle manual than health guide. Inspiring a woman to find her own inner strength and happiness is a core concept in self-help, but it's never been integrated into the health field--until now. Positive and inspiring, this book is nothing short of a lifeline for the modern woman. Key Features This is not a health book but a personal, motivational lifestyle book that happens to be centered around heart health--one of today's hottest topics. Uses Lori Mosca's powerful personal story--and stories from her patients--to create a warm, personal framework for her medical advice. The best way to motivate most women is through the health of their loved ones, and this book talks in-depth about the reality of dealing with unmotivated husbands, aging parents and the current childhood health epidemic.
