{ "item_title" : "HeartProof", "item_author" : [" Sudip Kumar Das", "Sabita Das", "Dipan Kumar Das "], "item_description" : "Chapter 1The Silent Engine: Why Your Heart Needs ProtectionThe human heart beats nearly 100,000 times every day without asking for recognition. It pumps approximately 7,500 liters of blood daily through a network of arteries stretching over 60,000 miles. Every heartbeat delivers oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and life itself to every cell in the body.Chapter 2The HeartProof Formula: Understanding the Five S ThreatsThe HeartProof Formula simplifies prevention by focusing on five modifiable lifestyle risks.SaltExcess sodium causes the body to retain water. Increased blood volume raises blood pressure, forcing the heart to pump harder. Over time, hypertension damages arteries, kidneys, and the heart muscle itself.SugarAdded sugars contribute to obesity, diabetes, fatty liver disease, and inflammation. Persistently elevated blood glucose damages the delicate lining of arteries, making plaque formation more likely.SmokingEvery cigarette introduces thousands of toxic chemicals into the bloodstream. These chemicals damage artery walls, reduce oxygen delivery, increase clotting, and accelerate plaque formation.SittingModern lifestyles involve prolonged sitting at desks, in cars, and in front of screens. Inactivity slows metabolism, reduces circulation, promotes weight gain, and increases insulin resistance.StressChronic stress increases cortisol and adrenaline levels. Persistent activation of stress hormones raises blood pressure, disturbs sleep, encourages unhealthy eating, and promotes inflammation.Chapter 3Salt: The Hidden Pressure BuilderSalt is essential for nerve and muscle function, but modern diets often provide far more sodium than the body requires.High sodium intake causes fluid retention, increasing blood volume and raising blood pressure. Reducing sodium gradually allows taste buds to adapt within a few weeks.Chapter 4Sugar: The Sweet Enemy WithinSugar is enjoyable, but excessive intake creates long-term cardiovascular damage. Learning to recognize hidden sugars is one of the most powerful steps toward protecting your arteries.Chapter 5Smoking: Breaking Free from Tobacco's GripSmoking remains one of the leading preventable causes of heart disease. The encouraging reality is that the body begins repairing itself almost immediately after quitting.Chapter 6Sitting: Why Your Chair May Be Your Biggest Health RiskHumans evolved for movement. Modern technology has dramatically reduced daily physical activity. Movement acts like natural medicine for the heart.Chapter 7Stress: The Invisible Heart Attack TriggerStress itself is not always harmful. The problem is chronic, unmanaged stress. Protecting mental health also protects cardiovascular health.Chapter 8The Five Heart Numbers That Can Save Your LifeLifestyle habits matter, but objective measurements provide an early warning system.1. Blood Pressure2. LDL Cholesterol3. Fasting Blood Sugar4. Body Mass Index (BMI)5. Waist CircumferenceAbdominal fat strongly predicts cardiovascular disease. Regular health checkups transform numbers into actionable knowledge.Chapter 9Heart-Friendly Nutrition: Eating for Stronger ArteriesHealthy eating is about patterns rather than perfection. Nutrition is a daily investment rather than a temporary diet.Chapter 10Exercise, Sleep, and Recovery: Building a Stronger HeartExercise strengthens the heart muscle. Sleep allows the cardiovascular system to recover. Recovery prevents chronic inflammation. Rest is an active part of cardiovascular health.Chapter 11Creating Your 30-Day HeartProof LifestyleLasting habits begin with small daily actions.Chapter 12A Lifetime of Heart Health: The HeartProof Promise", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/818/678/9798186787983_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "11.00", "online_price" : "11.00", "our_price" : "11.00", "club_price" : "11.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
