Take a Load off Your Heart by Joseph C Piscatella
It's not your father's heart disease anymore. In a world where so many people suffer from cardiovascular illness, and where 50 percent of heart attacks occur in people with low cholesterol levels, it's definitely time to take a new look at exactly what constitutes cardiac risk - and exactly what people can do to manage and reverse it. Joe Piscatella does just that in TAKE A LOAD OFF YOUR HEART, a cutting-edge yet practical and easy-to-implement program for taking charge of heart health.
Piscatella, Joseph C.: - Author Joseph C. Piscatella has been a keen observer of American eating habits since 1977, when emergency open-heart surgery at the age of 32 forced him to recognize the intimate connection between dietary habits and overall health. His successful recovery and determination to make adjustment in his own lifestyle and diet inspired a new career as an active proponent of healthy lifestyle changes. As president of the Institute for Fitness and Health, Inc. in Tacoma, Washington, he lectures extensively to a variety of clients, including medical organizations, corporations and professional associations, and is a consultant on major wellness projects for Fortune 500 companies, the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force. Cited in Time for their practicality and effectiveness, his seminars deal with the management of lifestyle habits to increase health, longevity and productivity. Mr. Piscatella is the only non-medical member of the National Institute of Health Cardiac Rehabilitation Expert Panel, which develops clinical practice guidelines for physicians. He is also a member of the Association for Worksite Health Promotion, the American Association of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation, and the National Wellness Association.
