This week on The Health Show: Heart disease is leading cause of death in women, but most people don't know it. Also, we finally get around to talking about procrastination.listen to the entire show in RealAudio 25:00
Focusing on heart disease in women
Irene Pollin is perhaps best known as the owner, along with her husband Abe, of the Washington Wizards NBA team, and for her philanthropic work. But during her career, Pollin has authored two books on health-related topics: "Medical Crisis Counseling: Short-Term Therapy for Long-Term Illness" and "Taking Charge: Overcoming the Challenges of Long-Term Illnesses." Mrs. Pollin also has extensive experience with tough medical issues and starting organizations to help deal with them. In 2000, she founded, and is today president of, the Sister to Sister, Everyone Has A Heart Foundation, an organization focused women and heart disease. The Health Show's Jim Horne spoke with Irene Pollin about the work being done by Sister to Sister.
More on women and heart disease
One of the institutions doing important work in the field of women's heart health is the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Dr. Sharonne N. Hayes is director of Mayo's women's heart clinic and she joins us today for a further look at heart disease and how it affects women.
Stop procrastinating
It seems a recurring theme over the past few weeks has been things your mother told you that actually turned out to be sound medical advice. Well, here's another one: never put off until tomorrow what you can do today, or as my mom used to say, "stop putzing and get it done!" It seems procrastination is a major cause of stress. And stress is a major cause of just about everything else that can go wrong with you. Here to talk some more about procrastination is The Health Show's diet and lifestyle consultant Dr. Stephanie Beling.
