Clear and easy-to-understand

Like millions of American men, I have been diagnosed with hypertension--high blood pressure. Well, I'm not one to take things lying down, so I set out to find a good book on the subject, and this is the book that I found. Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper is one of America's leading experts on preventative medicine, and this book is an absolute wonder! Dr. Cooper begins the book by explaining what hypertension is and how it works, explaining everything about high blood pressure, including what the measurements (systolic and diastolic) actually mean. After that, he explains how the condition is treated, and what steps you can take, including exercise and diet. Overall, I found this to be a great book. The author has an excellent way of unfolding the subject in a clear and easy-to-understand manner. I now understand so much more that I did just from talking to my doctor. So, let me just say that I love this book, and highly recommend it to anyone and EVERYONE who has been diagnosed with hypertension. This is the book to get!
