This book is a practical guide to customizing your lifestyle
to optimize your health. It’s easy to read and contains a large amount of ideas
that are easily applied to improve health. Each section explains why the conventional
approach does not work and gives alternatives that do work. This is not your
typical diet book and is meant for health nuts that are experiencing a decline
in their health rather than improvement. It will give you a good set of
guidelines to determine what works best for you and your health and states that
small changes can have a huge payoff in the long run. Much of what is discussed
is the opposite of what many health gurus and doctors say. The science is
there, but in a way that is easy to understand and not overly technical. There’s
a list of references at the back of the book for further research for those who
are interested.
The section about electromagnetic fields seemed a bit out
there. But as with the other areas discussed, any effort to reduce exposure
could be valuable and would require only minor changes.
In my opinion, the biggest take away from this book is that
health and fitness is highly individualized and as such, the best guru for you
is your body. Learning to listen to it and reading its signs are hugely
beneficial. I find it refreshing to read a book about health and fitness that
is different from the pat answers everyone else gives. If you’ve ever wondered
if there is a sane alternative to extreme exercise and diet methods, this book
is for you.
