Improving the Health of your Heart
Mona Vale library’s first Author Talk for 2012 features Andrew Cate speaking about his book Healthy Heart for Life on Thursday 16 February at 6.30pm.
The book has been described as the author’s most personal and passionate book yet.
Having lost family members to preventable heart disease, Andrew′s lifelong mission is to spread the word about the changes you can make in your life to improve heart health.
Written in Andrew’s simple-to-follow and no-nonsense manner, the book gives a practical six-week plan to reduce cholesterol and blood pressure levels naturally without medication.
Event organiser Catherine Buddin said Andrew will take participants through a series of checks such as family history, diet and exercise that will help them understand their risk factors.
The book features sections on food, exercise and lifestyle, with 42 vital tips for heart health, each one containing a theoretical and a practical component. According to the author, ‘if you follow this plan you’ll be well on the way to a healthier and more energetic life’.
Andrew says that the tips offered in his book are based on peer reviewed scientific research and thus are proven to be effective.
“I’ve summarised over 200 scientific studies in this book and just whittled them down to the bare essentials,” he said.
Andrew Cate is a personal trainer and exercise physiologist. He has written seven books on health and fitness, including Walk off Weight and Lighten Up.
Andrew also writes regular health and fitness articles for various magazines and websites. Andrew’s website is www.andrewcate.com.
