My father suffered a heart attack at the age of 59, he survived but was told his arteries were very clogged and he had to undergo a surgical procedure to fit a stent. As you can imagine this made me rather paranoid about my own health. My blood pressure readings had been on the high side of normal for quite some time and I wasn't really bothered about them, but my father's condition made me take stock and do some serious thinking.
I did not want to be building up problems for myself in later life, so although everything was fine in the present, I wanted to start doing something to ensure I wouldn't also be struck down with heart disease.
This book was one that I bought to educate myself about the problems of plaque build up and the problems that high cholesterol and high blood pressure cause. It gives a general background to all of these with clear illustrations that describe exactly what goes on in your heart - apart from a few lessons back in high school, I'd never studied the heart in any detail at all before.
There are also some heart healthy recipes and a great deal of information about diet and exercise. It explains which foods can lower cholesterol and so prevent and even reverse the build up of plaque in your arteries – and it is all done naturally, there are no drugs involved, just sensible eating.
I'd had a vague idea that certain foods could lower blood pressure, but I didn't understand how or why until I read this book, but now I know it is true – your arteries can clean themselves if they are given the right ingredients.
For me, following the advice in this book is more about prevention but I know people who have had very high blood pressure and have done what it says in this book and their blood pressure has improved to a point where they no longer require medication.
