(
DALLAS
) Heart disease kills more women than men in the
U.S.
and has for 20 years. How could we possibly lose almost half a million women each year in the
U.S.
to cardiovascular diseases (heart disease and stroke) and not hear more about it? The American Heart Association also reports that heart disease and stroke account for 40% of women’s deaths.
That’s almost 1,400 women every day—1 every minute—10 times as many as we lose to breast cancer, and 5 times as many as to all cancers combined. Forty percent of us – 2 of every 5 women – will get, and die from, cardiovascular disease. If you have a family history of heart disease, your risk is even higher.
Mellanie True Hills, author of A Woman’s Guide To Saving Her Own Life: The HEART Program For Health And Longevity, is a heart disease survivor, nearly dying in emergency heart surgery several years ago. Using her second chance, she coaches individuals on creating healthy lifestyles and works with organizations to create healthy, productive workplaces. She is also the founder and CEO of the American Foundation for Women’s Health, a non-profit organization dedicated to education and awareness about women’s health issues.
A Woman’s Guide to Saving Her Own Life is Hills’ story and a workbook designed to guide readers through the process of making permanent and life-saving changes. It is a winner of the Readers Preference Editor's Choice Award for 2005 and was listed in Publisher's Weekly as a nominee for the Quills Award Debut Author of the Year.
