experience and their families seek reassurance and practical information
to help them prevent another attack. The American Heart
Association (AHA), the preeminent author of numerous consumer-oriented

a heart attack and what one can expect during recovery.

Counselors on diet for the sake of heart health aren't rare, but Applegate,
an authority in the field, commands attention. Heart patients and their
families as well as those desiring to avoid heart disease usually
pick up a book like this expecting to be flattened by table after table
of food values and disadvantages. Applegate purveys most such material in the
text, which makes it easier to absorb, especially because it is adjacent to
advice about particular foods. Among her hundred "Miracle Foods"
(the book has some annoyances) are dried figs and apricots, bananas, chocolate, and rhubarb.

"Heart disease is a woman's greatest health threat,"

research was done on men, and women were considered
"small men." But women are quite different from

Goldberg's mission is to help women prevent or manage heart

Healthy 44-year-old Deborah Daw Heffernan--a nonsmoker with
low cholesterol and low blood pressure, who ate her vegetables
to boot--lay down one day on the floor of her yoga class and
felt her heart explode. Her heart attack--followed by a
failed angioplasty, a double bypass, and eight days
of unconsciousness--nearly killed her. During her
recovery, she found plenty of books about heart disease and
women, but no first-person stories--even though cardiovascular
disease is the number-one killer of both men and women. An Arrow

a heart attack, and how it changed everything.

Osteoporosis, like sticks and stones, can break
your bones, but knowledge can prevent it.
The bone-weakening disease, which attacks many
women past menopause, need not be accepted with
resignation, according to Dr. Sidney Lou Bonnick.
In The Osteoporosis Handbook: Every Woman's
Guide to Prevention and Treatment, Dr. Bonnick
outlines which women are most likely to be stricken
and then suggests exercises to strengthen bones,
sensible nutritional advice, and other methods of
health maintenance to avoid the disease.
