Maximize your ability to live a long and healthy life!, 5 Mar 2000
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Whole Health: The Guide to Wellness of Mind and Body (Paperback)
Whole Health: The Guide To Wellness Of Body And Mind, by Joseph Keon, Ph.D., is actually three books in one. Book One explores "how proper nutrition can be one of your most powerful tools in disease prevention." Book Two discusses the benefit of exercise, while Book Three examines "the relationship between body and mind." Keon, a nutritionist and fitness consultant, believes that all three are essential to achieving and maintaining good health. He first discusses the Standard American Diet (SAD) eaten by most people and describes some of the numerous problems resulting from it. He then talks about the nutrients, explaining the role of each in the body, and how to best obtain adequate amounts of each nutrient. He ends that section with guidelines for the "Revised American Diet," which includes a chapter for children and pregnant women. He also provides a selection of recipes and cooking guides. Book Two delves into the functions of muscles and how to keep them healthy. He presents an extensive conditioning program, including stretching, aerobics, and resistance training (lifting weights). Complete descriptions, including photographs, are provided for each exercise. Keon says "today it is increasingly clear that our physical health and well-being are contingent not only on a well-conditioned body, but on a mind that has been properly focused and conditioned as well." He discusses the toll that stress takes on the body, and offers suggestions for stress management. He also provides techniques for time management and goal setting. Keon says that "health has little to do with luck. While genetics does play a role, each of us can have a tremendous influence over our health--more than most of use have ever imagined." Whole Health gives you the tools you need to maximize your ability to live a long and healthy life. Sandra I. Smith, Reviewer
