A Treasure Trove of Valuable Information
14 Dec 2011
Format:Paperback
Flying well below the best-selling radar of popular diet, weight loss, and get "healthy" overnight books that come and go with the changing seasons, is Dr. Phil Maffetone who has developed an intense and loyal following among recreational and elite athletes (runners, cyclists, triathetes) who have adopted his teachings and beliefs on all key aspects of health and fitness. The so called Maffetone Method is one that follows basic holistic principles: listen to your body, eat well, manage stress, avoid taking over-the-counter drugs for common aches and pains, exercise regularly, and avoid "no pain, no gain" mentality. In other words, by training aerobically, you can burn body fat and this in turn will lead to a lifetime of health and fitness. Now, in this new, wonderful, and packed-with-information BIG BOOK, Phil Maffetone has done all of us a great public service. This book will become your de facto reference guide on all matters of health and fitness. It's geared toward those who care about healthy aging. It's also directed toward those who don't want to be dependent on a flawed health care system.
Phil writes about self-health care. And that's what this book does. It teaches you how to be in control of your own health. Valuable chapters include those on how to control inflammation through diet, the right foods that will lead to better energy and fat-burning, why most dietary supplements are harmful, hidden dangers of stretching, why most conventional running and walking shoe are bad for your feet and legs, and so on.
I was also surprised to see a chapter on healthy sex. (I read that one first!).
This isn't the first book i own by Phil Maffetone-- he's written over a half-dozen. But this is one book that i will demand that all my aging and still-active baby boomer friends must have. Think of this book as a "wise friend for life."
