The stressed heart

What to do when you feel anxious about your heart? The heart not only reacts particularly sensitively to emotions, stress and exertion, it is also the clock of our lives: It beats three billion times in the course of a lifetime - sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes stumbling and then again rhythmically persistent. What can we do to maintain and strengthen this motor? Cardiologists specialize in saving lives in acute cases and treating diseases with the help of state-of-the-art technology. But what comes before the heart attack? 90 percent of all heart attacks are lifestyle-related: They could therefore be prevented - by ourselves. Research results from modern naturopathy show that this is not so difficult. There are effective methods for reducing stress, a major stress factor for the heart. These results of modern naturopathy can be incorporated into everyday life without great difficulty - so that heart problems do not occur in the first place. In this book, internist and professor of naturopathy Gustav Dobos shows how best to do this and what positive effects it can have.
