Read this ladies, it may help save your life!

Did you know heart disease is the number one killer of women over 50? More than breast and other cancers and usually the victims and their doctors mistake the symptoms of heart attack for other ailments. "50 Ways Women Can Prevent Heart Disease" is a wonderful book that addresses heart disease prevention specifically for women. The author uses a conversational tone while giving useful statistics, explanation of medical terms and great steps everyone can incorporate into their lives. The five areas addressed to prevent heart disease are: Smoking; Diet; Exercise; Other factors (includes a discussion on diabetes that also contributes to heart disease in many people); Hormone Replacement Therapy. I would highly recommend this book to all women who are overweight, smoke, or have a family history of heart disease. You owe it to yourself and your loved ones.
