Publisher's Synopsis
We all know that heart health is important. Cardiovascular disease, including diseases of the heart and blood vessels such as heart attacks and stroke, is the global number one killer, accounting for almost a third of all deaths. Scientific factors in our diets and lifestyles influence our risk of cardiovascular disease, and what's good for our hearts also tends to be good for our guts, our brains, livers, and weight control, reduces our risk of many forms of cancer, and even helps us to age well.
Dr Joanna McMillan cuts through the nonsense, bust the myths and misconceptions, and provides insights from the extraordinary science of lifestyle medicine to help you take pleasure and joy in eating and living well so you can give and get more from life. It's not about being perfect - it's about making better choices when we can.
Dr Joanna McMillan is one of Australia's favourite and most trusted health and wellbeing experts. She is a PhD-qualified nutrition scientist and accredited practising dietitian, and has the natural ability to translate complex science into practical actions that will transform theory into achievement.
