Protect your heart naturally

Once considered a "man's disease," heart disease kills 500,000 women each year. Today's women are not only as stressed and as overweight as men, they also "feel" more deeply than men--depression, anger, and sadness can have very physical effects on a woman's heart. A Woman's Guide to a Healthy Heart explores the role of emotions on your cardiovascular health and shows you how to start making natural changes to help you live a fuller, healthier life.

A must-have "owner's manual" for all women, A Woman's Guide to a Healthy Heart helps you work through your distinctly feminine emotional issues as well as your medical concerns. It shows you how a more positive, uplifting attitude will go a long way towards a healthier life.

Full of heart-sensible advice, A Woman's Guide to a Healthy Heart covers:

• Safe weight-loss tips
• Simple ways to get heart-healthy exercise into your day
• Supplements to take and supplements to avoid--is CoQ10 for you?
• The benefits of common foods such as garlic, green and black tea, and soy, as well as less-known herbs such as ginkgo, Asian ginseng, and chasteberry
