Customer Reviews

"Must" reading for enduring health and energy.

Stores today feature a multitude of products that promise to give people energy. Some of these may be helpful, but most of them are quick-fixes that ultimately leave people more fatigued. Long-lasting energy comes from "what you eat, your exercise patterns, how much and how well you sleep, how you deal with stress, and what your emotional life is like." Health writer Daryn Eller discusses these factors and how you can enhance your energy levels in her new book, Power Up: 101 Ways To Boost Your Energy. Eller suggests starting with why you feel fatigued. She says that "what sends one person into an energy crisis can differ markedly from what makes another fatigued." She offers a quick and simple quiz that helps readers zero in on their particular energy thief. From that, readers can go directly to the section of the book that will be most helpful to them. The section on nutrition includes tips for high-energy eating, information on supplements that enhance energy, suggestions for an anti-fatigue diet, and a list of "super foods." Fitness information includes "energy-enhancing strategies," how to avoid "workout drag," and a discussion of the benefits of yoga and tai chi. Those having difficulty sleeping will find lots of tips in the section on getting a good night's rest. Eller also provides information on alternative health techniques, including acupuncture, herbs, aromatherapy, correct breathing, and Healing Touch therapies. From there she moves into stress reduction, saying that "stress saps our emotional energy [and] it also draws on our physical energy as well." The final chapter is titled "When Nothing Works," which discusses some of the physical causes of fatigue such as allergies, anemia, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, lyme disease, and thyroid disease. Most of these require the services of a health care professional. Eller wrote Power Up to give people "insight into where energy comes from and how it gets depleted--sometimes inexplicably. Knowing how you get zapped will ultimately help you get more zip." Readers following her suggestions and tips will find "freedom from a life of lethargy and fatigue."Sandra Smith, Reviewer
