Self help for heart health from the world’s most famous heart specialist and one of this century’s best-known achievers.

·Throw away your bathroom scales and never diet again!

·Stop smoking NOW
·Express your emotions and learn to laugh

There is a huge amount of conflicting information out there on heart disease.
