Imagine a friend of yours, let’s call him John: he’s 35 years old and not in great health. He suffers from diabetes and hypertension and he has a blood clot too. He smokes and he weighs somewhere between 300 to 350 pounds. You know he’s unhealthy, he knows his unhealthy but he doesn’t take action to get his heart and body into shape.
One morning, in the middle of breakfast John starts gasping for air. His girlfriend gets him in the car and to the hospital. A cardiologist sees to John and tells him he had congestive heart failure. John is in shock.
He swears he felt no pain even though he couldn’t manage a flight of steps for lack of breath. Anyway, John shrugs it off and returns to work as a mechanic. But he struggles to cope with daily tasks and lands up going onto disability benefits.
For the first time in his life, hard worker John is idle and he struggles. He falls into a depression. He gains weight. He stresses and smokes more and worries about the future of his family. He tries a couple of diets but just doesn’t feel like they’re working.
And then, John finally gets his mind right and starts seeking professional help. He sees a counselor who helps him cope with his stress and depression. He attends workshops to quit smoking and he begins a strict exercise regime, working out a couple of hours a day. He watches what he eats.
After a short time, John’s diabetes actually improves significantly. His heart improves steadily and now John is healthy, active and his heart probably thanks him every day by functioning, pumping and beating to the optimum.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Information

My husband has always had high blood pressure. It is something he inherited.
Luckily it is kept under control by blood pressure medicine, but he is at a critical age. He is still in his early 30's, but if he doesn't start taking proactive steps to help his risk of heart attack he runs a very real risk of suffering a stroke or heart attack.

This book is geared toward someone who has already suffered a heart attack, but anyone can benefit from reading this book.
Most everything you should be doing AFTER a heart attack would have served you well to do BEFORE the heart attack.

I will definitely be reading the other books written by this author.
It is very important to keep my husband around and healthy, so he can help me raise our four young children.

My extended family has recently had a burst of heart attacks.
It is very sad, but also very disturbing.

I really found this book helpful because not only will I be able to pass it onto the family members who suffered a heart attack, but most of the advice is great for someone to follow even of they HAVEN'T suffered a heart attack. Obviously heart disease is a very real concern in my family.

This book is a must read for everyone. Heart attacks and heart disease is running rampant in our world but there ARE things we can do to prevent it.
More importantly, if you have suffered from a heart attack it is not to late. Follow the advice in this book and you may find your life is even better than it was before your heart attack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended heart book

This book is a must have for anyone who has had a heart attack, had heart surgery or has any kind of heart disease (or their loved ones). I will be re-reading it & using it as a future reference. It covers so much of what we need to learn about heart disease & how to lower our risk of a heart attack & improve heart health. It's written in easy to understand language & covers a multitude of topics from the time of your heart event, to cardiac rehab, information about cholesterol, blood pressure, resuming activities like driving, sex & exercise, & several tasty menu ideas. The book also covers some things that aren't touched on much & that is stress & depression. I highly recommend the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars a must read for anyone at risk of heart issues

Usually books tell you what to do to prevent problems, how to avoid and mitigate risk of heart disease, etc., but they don't provide information on what happens after you've suffered a heart attack. This book provides a wealth of information on your heart after an episode, what to do to build it back up to strength, ways to prevent another attack, and most importantly, how to return to daily life after an attack, such as returning to work or getting behind the wheel, dealing with depression.

A must read.

A mountain of information about what to do after a heart attack. It gave me lots of ideas on excercise, diet, getting back to work and even how to safely enjoy sex. There are some nice recipes, and a welcome chapter on depression which is more of a risk factor than I would have thought. A very informative book.
