A Preview of My Next Book

For those who follow me on Facebook and Twitter, you probably already know that I have new book set to come out in the next couple of weeks.  It’s called You Can Attract It, and it’s co-authored by a good friend of mine, Steve G. Jones.  I’m really excited about it, and I hope you’ll take the time to go out and buy it when it becomes available.  I know you’ll love it!

What many of you don’t know, though, is that I’m in the early stages of putting together another book that’s all about heart health and how you can dramatically improve the health of your heart all-naturally.

The main reason why I decided to tackle heart health is because heart disease is the biggest health problem we face in America today.  The statistics are downright scary:

• Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women, regardless of ethnicity (with the exception of Asians, as heart disease is second to cancer)
  
  
• In 2005, almost 30 percent of all deaths in the United States was related to heart disease
  
  
• There are many different kinds of heart disease, but coronary heart disease alone accounted for 7.6 million deaths worldwide in 2005
  
  

That is just the tip of the iceberg in regards to how far-reaching heart disease is as an issue in the health world today.  Because as this last statistic indicates, heart disease is not a health problem exclusive to Americans; it’s having a serious impact on everyone, even our friends across the pond.

In the United Kingdom, an estimated 250 people die every day from heart disease, or what amounts to about one in every five men and one in every seven women (in the United States, the rate of death from heart disease is slightly higher among women than men).  And in a given year, 200,000 people die from heart-related issues in the UK, chief among them being heart disease.

Adding insult to injury is the fact that so many things factor in to someone’s risk for developing heart disease.  In other words, unlike other deadly diseases like lung cancer, where one factor more than anything else determines the likelihood of developing it (i.e., smoking), almost every aspect of life increases or decreases heart disease risk (e.g., Do you have hypertension?  Are you taking high-blood pressure medications?  Are you obese?  Do you smoke?  Do you exercise regularly?  Do you have diabetes?).

And while every risk factor is important to consider in evaluating risk, studies indicate that certain factors hold more sway than others.  The answer to that question is a major focus of my upcoming book.

And what is that answer?  Exercise!
