¿Cómo conseguir un peso adecuado y mantenerlo?¿Cómo dejar de fumar y no recaer? ¿Cómo sobrevivir al estrés? El cardiólogo Valentín Fuster ofrece en La Ciencia de la Salud, escrito en colaboración con el periodista Josep Corbella, consejos básicos para cuidar la salud y mejorar la calidad de vida. Estructurado de manera que se pueda leer de principio a fin como una narración, pero también para que cada lector pueda empezar por los capítulos que más le interesen, presenta en un lenguaje claro y ameno lo que la medicina sabe hoy día sobre algunos de los problemas de salud que más preocupan a los ciudadanos: el control del peso, la dieta ideal, el colesterol, la actividad física, la tensión arterial, los controles de salud, el consumo de alcohol, la adicción al tabaco, el estrés y hasta la tristeza y la felicidad.Este es un libro de salud que no prohíbe nada («hasta una salchicha de Frankfurt puede formar parte de una dieta ideal»), que no impone nada y que presenta los últimos datos científicos sobre cómo prevenir enfermedades evitables y retrasar el deterioro propio de la edad. Así, el objetivo del libro es ofrecer las herramientas y los datos necesarios para que cada lector esté lo mejor informado posible para que pueda tomar las decisiones que considere oportunas sobre su propia salud.
