 Buy it for someone you love February 10, 2007

I bought this book for my 86-year-old dad who has heart problems, high blood pressure and cholesterol issues. He read it cover to cover and found it easy to understand and entertaining. He picked up wonderful tips on lifestyle which he is following to the letter. Buy this book for someone you love. P.S. When I originally wrote this review, my dad was 85 . . . he is now heading for a vigorous and healthy 87! This book is highly recommended. It is still on my dad's bookshelf. It is a great tool to help someone start making changes that will improve their health and prolong their life.

This book is a must read for everyone approaching middle-age. Heart disease can be stopped in its tracks and you or your loved ones needn't end up in surgery or fall victim to a heart attack. Incredibly well-written and fascinating, Dr. Agatston explains how to take charge of our heart health today and how to communicate with our doctors to get the prevention we need. No one needs to die of heart disease!
Great Read!
A must read for everyone January 27, 2007

This book is a real eye opener. As I am reading it, I am thinking of family members and friends that have died of heart disease. I am convinced that the information in this book could have saved them. No, I am not being melodramatic. The book is filled with well explained lifestyle changes, medications and diagnostic procedures that will save lives. Maybe yours. I am 56 years old. I have not lived a very healthy lifestyle so far, and I have a family history of heart disease. Thank you, Dr. Agatston, for providing this information. I am taking it to heart, literally.
EVERY American has the responsibility to educate themselves about this topic! January 24, 2007

This book is EXCELLENT. I'm only 24 years old, but I know the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle beginning when I'm young. This book is important for everyone to read. Heart disease is the number 1 killer in America. We can wipe it out by changing our lifestyles, and this book tells you how to do it in an educational way. Not only does it tell you what to do, it also tells you WHY you need to do it.
Well written, compliments You: On a Diet January 17, 2007

This book clears up the fallacies of the old "plumber's model" of how the heart works and explains the difference between hard plaque and soft plaque. I learned a lot about how diet and exercise affect triglicerides, insulin, abdominal fat, diabetes, and heart disease. Dr. Agatston goes into a lot of detail about lipid profiles, heart medications, invasive procedures and preventative measures. It is well-written, not condescending at all, and dispells some old myths about heart disease.
In the exercise section I have a problem with the Pilates knee pull, leg pulls and lifts, and bicycle, which can put a lot of strain on the lumbar spine, since there is no mention or picture showing lumbar support. I base this on experience and on Stuart McGill. Ph.D's research on spine biomechanics. Sometimes an exercise is great for muscles but not so healthy for the spine.
