Foreword by Dr. Michael F. Roizen, Chief Medical Consultant for The Dr. Oz Show and #1 New York Times bestseller author of YOU: THE OWNER’S MANUAL THE SCIENCE OF WHY BOTH HEART & BRAIN HEALTH ARE THE KEY TO WELLNESS AND LONGEVITY AND HOW TO CULTIVATE A BRAIN-BODY-BALANCE TO LIVE A LONGER, HEALTHIER AND HAPPIER LIFE. STRONG HEART, SHARP MIND presents a cutting-edge, science-based program that teaches readers how to develop the habits and lifestyle practices that improve both heart and brain health. Readers will learn how they can prevent or forestall both the nation’s number-one killer–heart disease–as well as the affliction Americans fear most: Alzheimer’s disease. For the 108 million Americans 50 and over, creating what the authors call the “BRAIN-BODY-BALANCE” through the steps detailed in these pages can also improve quality of life and longevity, by synchronizing the interaction between our two most vital organs. Joseph C. Piscatella, nationally-known, bestselling speaker and author of countless heart health books, and one of the longest-living survivors of coronary bypass surgery (43 years and counting!) and Cleveland Clinic neurologist Marwan Noel Sabbagh, M.D., one of the worlds’s foremost researchers in the fight against Alzheimer’s, employ the latest science and recommendations from other leading-edge thinkers and practitioners, to help readers optimize the connection between cardiac and neuro health—a nexus that until recently has been overlooked as a key to wellness and longevity. Together, "No Ordinary Joe" Piscatella and Dr. Sabbagh are poised to guide readers to this new intersection of heart-brain health, and take them through the necessary steps to make that connection between our most vital organs, for optimal wellness—and to protect them against the world's most lethal and feared diseases. STRONG HEART, SHARP MIND: The 6-Step Brain-Body Balance Program that Reverses Heart Disease and Helps Prevent Alzheimer’s blends science and solution in the form of a new, singular heart/brain-specific program and takes readers through the steps necessary to optimal wellness and a longer, happier life.
