Heartfelt Wisdom
Straight from Be My Heart by Narinder K
Saini, MD, is a transformative guide that

particularly among individuals from the Indian
subcontinent. Dr Saini, a specialist in Internal and
Preventive Medicine, brings a unique perspective
to the realm of cardiac health, blending his medical
knowledge with a holistic approach to well-being.
In this compelling book, Dr Saini not only shares his
extensive medical knowledge but also draws from
scientific research to highlight the significance of
holistic healing in preventing heart disease and other
chronic ailments. He challenges the conventional
paradigms of our high-tech healthcare system,

health practices.
What sets Straight from My Heart apart is Dr Saini’s in
depth account of his dual experiences as a patient and
physician. This personal connection adds depth and
authenticity to his insights, making the book relatable to a wide range of readers. As the Medical Director of the Coronary Prevention and Rehabilitation and Community Healthplex and Wellness Center in Springfield, Ohio, Dr Saini’s experience shines through in his approach to reversing heart disease.
Throughout the book, Dr Saini’s philosophy of holistic lifestyle-based programmes takes centre stage. He emphasises the importance of nutrition, exercise, and stress management in maintaining a healthy heart. That is why there is a dedicated illustration explaining each step of the yoga practice of Surya Namaskar, as well as a bunch of nutritious recipes promoting a healthy diet. His passionate belief in this approach is both inspirational and practical, offering readers actionable steps to improve their cardiac health.
