Heath and His Best Friend, The Happy Heart

The number one killer in the United States is heart disease. With his third book, Heath and His Best Friend, The Happy Heart, the author is stressing to children the importance of eating healthy foods and the value of exercising regularly.

The risk of heart disease can be substantially reduced by teaching healthy lifestyle habits from a young age. This includes eating a well-balanced and healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight, having an active lifestyle with regular aerobic exercise, and avoiding tobacco.

Children will love the food characters in this colorful, imaginative book about a little boy named Heath, his friend Happy Heart, and their journey to a healthy life.
