Healthy Hearts – Everyday Choices

Cardiovascular disease remains one of the leading causes of illness and preventable death worldwide. Among its most common and manageable risk factors is high blood pressure, often referred to as a “silent condition” because it may develop gradually without obvious symptoms. Despite the availability of effective prevention strategies, many individuals and communities continue to face barriers to understanding, managing, and preventing heart-related conditions.

Healthy Hearts – Everyday Choices was written to address this gap with clarity, compassion, and credibility. This book is a practical, evidence-informed guide designed to help listeners understand heart health and blood pressure in a way that is accessible, respectful, and empowering. It does not rely on fear, complex medical language, or clinical imagery. Instead, it emphasizes everyday actions, informed decision-making, and sustainable lifestyle practices that support long-term cardiovascular well-being. The book recognizes that health behaviors are shaped not only by individual choices, but also by social, cultural, environmental, and emotional factors.

Written for general listeners, families, caregivers, community members, educators, and public health practitioners, Healthy Hearts – Everyday Choices bridges the gap between medical knowledge and real-life application. It aligns with established public health and academic health education principles, including guidance from notable healthcare organizations. At the same time, it remains grounded in everyday experience, ensuring relevance across diverse populations and settings.
