Description: For decades, American doctors have done their best to help patients lose weight, quit smoking, eat better, and exercise more. But for most Americans, the family doctor's advice just isn't enough to change lifelong bad habits. In """"The American Way of Life Need Not Be Hazardous to Your Health"""", John Farquhar, MD, Director of the Stanford Prevention Research Center, provides a truly effective program for stamping out the deeply rooted habits that lead to heart disease, stroke, atherosclerosis, and cancer. By using Dr. Farquhar's simple and rewarding behavior modification techniques, readers can profile their habits and risk factors on such major health issues as smoking, nutrition, exercise, and stress; build step-by-step commitment to change; and maintain the action plan with success. Throughout this sensible guide, Farquhar clearly explains the rationale behind every step and provides a wealth of information on how the body works.
