A practical guide to everyday heart health

Amir Lerman’s guide organizes cardiovascular prevention around everyday factors: nutrition, exercise, stress management, sleep, blood pressure, cholesterol and medication. It also takes up questions that often surface in health headlines, from seed oils and microplastics to the possible heart benefits of Ozempic, presenting these as topics to examine rather than one-size-fits-all answers. Full-color illustrations, infographics and responses to common questions support the book’s reference-guide format. The practical component includes suggested steps for daily life and 20 recipes for heart-healthy meals. The emphasis is on prevention and habits across different ages; medical claims and treatment decisions are best discussed with a health professional.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults seeking an introduction to cardiovascular prevention and everyday heart-health topics.
  • Readers who want a reference-style guide with visual aids, common-question answers and meal recipes.
  • People interested in how food, exercise, stress, sleep and medications relate to heart health.

Book overview

Want a longer, healthier, happier life? Start with healthy, happy heart. Mayo Clinic cardiologists give simple advice and actionable steps to help you lower your cardiovascular risk at any age and enjoy living well.

Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States. Despite the latest advances in treatment, when it comes to your heart, top experts agree: prevention is the best medicine. The good news is that it's never too late -- or too early -- to lower your risk of heart attack and stroke. And it doesn't have to be complicated.

Where do you start? Discover the keys to maximizing your heart health with this user-friendly manual. Based on the latest research and decades of clinical experience from 30+ cardiologists and other experts at the world-renowned Mayo Clinic, this book encourages a proactive, holistic approach that focuses on making positive changes before the appearance of heart disease. It breaks down the latest expertise -- and how to tell fact from fiction -- on key factors such as nutrition, exercise, stress management, the newest medications and even how sleep affects heart health. ​Full-color illustrations and infographics and an airy design with text call-outs help create an appealing, trade-oriented reading experience.

Included in the book are answers to many common questions, such as:
  • What's the difference between "good" and "bad" cholesterol?
  • Will Ozempic really benefit my heart?
  • Should I test my blood pressure at home?
  • Is red wine good for me?
  • What's the best type of exercise for the heart?
  • Are seed oils really bad for health?
  • What should I make of headlines about microplastics and heart health?
  • What are the biggest risk factors for heart disease?
In addition, the book offers simple steps you can put into action today, backed by compelling research that small changes really do add up. It even includes 20 recipes for heart-healthy meals to help make dietary changes easy and delicious. By focusing on preventive, everyday steps, Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy, Happy Heart shows that better heart health -- and all its benefits -- is within everyone's reach.
