Before you think that I read this book as a way to get started on New Year's resolutions, let me just say, that that is not the case. I did away with those kinds of resolutions a long time ago. Having goals in my life, is another matter. I read this book because the authors hitch mind health with heart health. That is not done very often when books deal with health issues. There is a lot of good information and help in this book. Chapter 8 is one prime example. All of us can implement "A Sound Approach to Stress Management." We need to learn to control anxiety, anger, and depression in our lives and do so without medications. We will benefit from this kind of care. Our families and those around us will benefit as well. I do not hold to the evolutionary thoughts that pop up every now and then. Setting that aside, I would encourage you to read this book.

A decent book that correlates how the pulmonary system and the brain work in concert to determine major outcomes in our health and life. Alzheimer's disease and Heart disease are two major killers for seniors and the book addresses how they can be linked through conditions that arise primarily in our overall health factors primarily diet and activity.

A former heart patient and doctor relate how the bad conditions arise in our life styles and how to acknowledge and make changes that will ultimately bring us back to a healthy footing that we can ride into longevity cycle that will maximize our lifespan and maintain quality of that life.

Strong Hearts and Strong Minds is a text written for those in mind who wish to keep their hearts and minds sharp and strong. I read the first couple of chapters and felt that it was a little too much for me to keep reading due to the medical jargon. I was a little confused and overwhelmed by what they were talking about. It’s an ideal book for those who wish to learn on how to keep their hearts strong and mind sharp and active. I agree with the authors that if something concerns you about your health, heart and mind consult your doctor

A book with a 6 step program that reverses heart disease and helps prevent Alzheimer's.
Joseph suffered a heart attack at the age of 32 and was told he wouldn't live a long life.
44 years later he is writing the book along with Dr. Sabbagh who specializes in Alzheimer's and
Dementia.
What is good for your heart is good for your brain. Eating vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains and exercise, sleeping well and managing stress. Cognitive stimulation and social support.

Another well written organized book that states the same medical advice:

Your life and health revolve around diet, exercise and sleep.

Yet we want to make it either easier or more complicated.
