Mayo Releases: "Healthy Heart For Life" | Health

Mayo clinic released a new book on Tuesday, designed to help with heart disease

The book is called "Healthy Heart For Life".

Dr. Martha Grogan is the book's medical editor. She says it's an action oriented book aimed at preventing heart disease or helping those with heart disease live the best life they can.

     "Well, heart disease is so important because it affects almost everybody either directly or indirectly. Heart disease is the number one cause of death in both men and women in the United States and it's amazing that 80% of heart disease is preventable," said Dr. Grogan.

Dr. Grogran says one of the facts in the book that may surprise people is that just 10 minutes of activity every day can reduce the risk of heart disease by as much as 50 percent.

"Health Heart For Life" is now available at major outlets across the country and online.
