Heart disease has long been thought of as a men’s issue, when it is actually the leading cause of death in both men and women. In fact, since 1984, more American women than men have died of heart disease. Are you surprised?. Often at the helm of their family’s overall health, diet, and nutrition, a woman and her lifestyle decisions can affect not only her own wellbeing; they can determine the habits of her partner and children as well. By becoming better educated, a woman can have a profound, permanent impact on the health of the people around her.. An Ageless Woman’s Guide to Heart Health is every woman’s guidebook to enjoying a heart-healthy life. Renowned cardiologist Dr. Lisa Jackson shares tips and resources to help you make positive steps toward improving your health. Whether you’re younger or older, fit or ailing, it’s never too late to make changes in your life that can lead you—and those you love—to a healthier heart.
No matter what, we will all age. While worrying about wrinkles and sagging is typical, there's so much more than that to aging well. Aging gracefully isn't about looking like a 20-year-old — it is quite the opposite; it's about living your best life and having the physical and mental health to enjoy it. In this stage of our lives, beauty is a reflection of inner contentment with who we are and not necessarily what we look like on the outside. Moreover, beauty is personified in radiant health and inner beauty that flows from a core of harmony and balance. But did you know that you need to change how you eat and exercise to stay healthy, beautiful, and strong after 40? This is because once you hit 40, the rules of the game change, and how you ate and exercised in your 20 and 30s may cause you to be sick, gain weight, inflammation, and overall age faster after you turn 40. In this book, I provide tools to guide you to be healthy and beautiful regardless of age. It outlines the steps you need to take to live a life full of vitality in your 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and for the rest of your life. In addition, I delineate an overall protocol that goes beyond your body's needs. The topics include exercise, nutrition, weight management, mental health, stress management, and much more. You will learn what foods to eat and what supplements are needed as we age to look young and stay healthy. Moreover, to make things easier, she gives you over one hundred delicious, easy-to-make recipes that will keep you healthy as you age. Note, I created two versions of this book; this one is the quick guide without recipes for those that are not interested in cooking but still want to know what it takes to age well. The second version is the cookbook, a 2-in-1 book that contains this guidebook and over 250 delicious and easy-to-make recipes. Both versions are available in eBook format too. The printed version of the cookbook has almost 400 color pages; it is beautiful.
