Best book on the market

One of the most difficult dilemmas for a health-care provider is to convince patients that they need to make and sustain major changes in theif lifestyles to make maintain good health and delay or prevent major illnesses. This dilemma has been greatly facilitated by a new book titled LIVE 10 HEALTHY YEARS LONGER.The book reports results of a 40-year Adventist Health Study with over 27,000 participants who made simple adjustments in their lifestyle to help them live 10 or more years longer as compared to a controlled group. The book points to the adage that it is easier to prevent or delay illness than to treat it. The recommendations are simple, easy to apply, inexpensive, and apply generally to persons of any decade. I have recommended this book to my patients and have seen dramatic results in those persons sincerely desiring to take control of their lives in regard to good nutrition, exercise, stress management, etc. I recommend the book highly as a guidebook and reference book for any person or family wishing to take charge of their health. Health-care providers and lay persons in general will find this book an extremely useful resource for achieving and maintaining optimal health and a quality lifestyle.

A Balanced Diet of Healthy Advice

In this healthy approach to a healthy life, Kuzma and Murphey present facts as facts, trends as trends, and speculation as speculation, a simply stated smorgasbord of ideas, insights and information, without force feeding their personal beliefs on the reader. First on the menu is the appetizer, "How Long Would You Like to Live?" The book proceeds with well documented and verifiable entrees related to physical and mental health, then concludes with dessert, which includes scripture and Sabbath to feed the soul. This would make a great gift book for any adult and a stimulating study for adult reading groups, both church related and secular.

Fresh perspective on old subject

This book gives a fresh, and refreshing, perspective on a very tired subject. How many weight-loss books have we been subjected to recently? Not to mention the many books on how to live longer, healthier, sexier--you name it. In one day recently I saw a new book that said the secret to healthy weight is no carbohydrates after 5 pm, and another new book that said just the opposite. Readers are left to wonder who is right. This book provides a balanced view of how to sort throught all the health claims, and make very simple adjustments to the way you live that can make a significant difference in your health. And, these suggestions are all backed up by scientifically valid studies by reputable sources--not just someone else selling something. The book is very readible, and a must read for anyone who considers the spiritual side of their life as important as what they eat and how much they exercise. Every church should consider teaching a course based on this book as a part of their educational outreach to their members and the community.

It makes good, healthy sense!

Wading through the number of books on dieting and nutrition can prove exhausting. If, however, you stumble upon one that is easy to read, easy to apply, and one that makes sense, you should grab it and hold onto it. Live 10 Healthy Years Longer does just that! Not just a diet book, this book tells the reader how to live healthier, and thus, happier, on a daily basis. I have read and applied the principles described in the book and I can honestly say I've never felt better. Give it a try. You'll want to share the information with all your friends and loved ones

A Needed and Life-Changing Book
