HealthStyle is the twenty-first-century program for
promoting vigor, preventing disease, and extending your
life span If up until now you have relied on
luck, genetics, and a few healthful practices to achieve
this goal, SuperFoods HealthStyle will be your
authoritative, engaging introduction to a new, better life.
Like SuperFoods Rx, the authors’ bestselling book,
HealthStyle takes the most recent, cutting-edge research on what
lifestyle
practices have actually been proven to achieve disease
prevention and
improve daily functioning -- both physically and mentally --
and
translates this information into simple recommendations
that you can
use to improve your physical and mental health now and in
the future.
Evidence abounds that total health is achieved via a
network of
efforts. You might guess that diet and exercise are
important. Did you
know that other factors like sleep and stress management
can have just
as much impact on your daily health and functioning? In
HealthStyle
Dr. Steven Pratt, dubbed "the Food Dude" by Oprah Winfrey,
has expanded
on his original thirteen SuperFoods and broadened his focus
to include
all aspects of health promotion. He covers such topics as:
- How ordinary spices like black pepper and
cinnamon can make surprising contributions to health
promotion
- What
the latest compelling research shows about how poor sleep
habits could
be sabotaging your efforts at weight control, reducing your
cognitive
abilities, and impairing your overall health
- How
achieving "personal peace" can prolong life and improve
brain function
- Why dark chocolate, honey, and kiwi
have joined the ranks of SuperFoods
- How the
simplest imaginable exercise program can be the most
effective
- Why paying attention to one simple
aspect of eating could be the answer to weight control
HealthStyle is about extending the true quality of life. It’s about
being as active
at seventy as you are at thirty-five. It’s about helping to
prevent
osteoporosis, hypertension, and Alzheimer’s disease. It’s
about ending
the confusion about how people should exercise and how
often. It is
about making simple but significant changes to get the most
out of life
for the rest of your life.
