The Heart/Mind Connection - Dr. Janneke Wittekoek

How a balanced life ensures a healthier heart

In The Heart/Mind Connection, cardiologist Dr. Janneke Wittekoek shows how closely your heart and mind are connected – and how stress, emotions, and lifestyle directly impact your heart health.

In our busy 24-hour economy, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find balance. A lack of rest, sleep, and relaxation can have a major impact on your body – and especially on your heart.

This book particularly focuses on the female heart, which can be extra sensitive to prolonged stress and emotional strain.

What you will learn in this book:

• how stress and emotions affect your heart
• why balance between mind and body is essential
• how to better recognize signals from your body
• practical tips for a healthier and calmer life

Dr. Wittekoek shows that heart problems do not only have physical causes, but often stem from an imbalance between thinking, feeling, and living.

With clear explanations and practical advice, this book helps you to live more consciously and take better care of your heart.
