POSITIVE MIND, HEALTHY HEART: TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR CARDIAC HEALTH, ONE DAY AT A TIME

Book ID/图书代码： 14560009B32479

English Summary/英文概要： Here’s the problem: 17 million Americans suffer from heart disease, and every year 1 million of them will be just lucky enough to survive a heart attack. They know they must change their lives—their diet, their stress, the amount of exercise they do. And not for a few months, but forever. Most don’t do it. What they need, as much as low-fat recipes and fitness plans, is daily motivation—a reassuring yet no-nonsense guide to staying the course to heart health.

Here’s the solution: From Joseph C. Piscatella, one of the longest-surviving bypass patients in the U.S.—31 years and counting—comes a supportive, generous, think-positive book that shares the secret of his extraordinary success. This is the stuff that kept Joe going—a year-long selection of motivational stories, inspirations, quotes, wisdom, meditations, tips, and more. When it’s 5:00 A.M. and raining outside and you’re tempted to skip that morning jog, remember "runner" Bob Ireland, a Vietnam vet who lost both legs in the war yet finished the New York marathon using only his arms, the first person ever to do so. Think little things don’t make a difference? Take a lesson from golf: An average of less than 1.5 strokes per round in the 2002 season made a $5.6 million difference in earnings between #1 golfer (Tiger Woods) and #10 golfer (Sergio Ggarcia).

And why a book of everyday entries? "People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing—that’s why we recommend it daily."---Zig Ziglar.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 还存在一个问题：1700万美国人患有心脏病，每年他们中仅有100万能侥幸在心脏病发作的时候存活下来。他们知道他们需要改善生活方式，从饮食、压力以及日常的锻炼做起。不是坚持几个月就行了的，往后的每一天都得如此。大多数的人做不到。他们需要的不仅仅是低脂食谱健康的计划，还有每天的动力---一份可靠的但非毫无意义的导向以保持心脏的健康。约瑟夫C皮斯卡泰拉这里有一个解决方法，美国活得最长的心脏病患者之一，活了31年还活得好好的。这本书就慷慨的分享了他非同一般的成功秘诀。用整整一年的时间挑选有启迪意义的故事、激励人心的事、引言、警语、沉思、贴士等等使得乔一直不闲着。当清晨5点，外面下着雨，你有点不想进行晨跑了，想想爱尔兰的鲍布。他是越南的兽医，在战争中失去了双腿，然而仅靠双手完成了纽约马拉松，在他之前没人这么做过。想想看其实不应该有差别。从高尔夫上学到的：2002季赛平均每一轮少于1.5个球使得1号老虎伍兹和10号斯耶戈伽西亚有560万美元的收益差入。为什么一本书适合每一天？兹戈兹戈拉：“人们总说动力无法持久。也对，其实洗澡也未必天天能坚持，所以我们才需要每天推荐。”(XJJ)

Author Joseph C. Piscatella has been a keen observer of American eating habits since 1977, when emergency open-heart surgery at the age of 32 forced him to recognize the intimate connection between dietary habits and overall health. His successful recovery and determination to make adjustment in his own lifestyle and diet inspired a new career as an active proponent of healthy lifestyle changes. As president of the Institute for Fitness and Health, Inc. in Tacoma, Washington, he lectures extensively to a variety of clients, including medical organizations, corporations and professional associations, and is a consultant on major wellness projects for Fortune 500 companies, the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force. Cited in Time for their practicality and effectiveness, his seminars deal with the management of lifestyle habits to increase health, longevity and productivity. Mr. Piscatella is the only non-medical member of the National Institute of Health Cardiac Rehabilitation Expert Panel, which develops clinical practice guidelines for physicians. He is also a member of the Association for Worksite Health Promotion, the American Association of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation, and the National Wellness Association.
