So much of today's practice of medicine revolves around curing disease, and so little is about wellness and prevention. Wouldn't you rather avoid illness and have a better quality of life in the first place? This book tells you how, using the Four Pillars of Wellness: Nutrition, exercise, stress management, and preventive maintenance. Authors Patricia B. Smith and Muriel MacFarlane, RN, MA, explain it all in easy-to-read langauge, offering a step-by-step guide to a wellness for body, mind and spirit. Good advice on diet, exercise, sleep, stress reduction, but most importantly, the process of making healthy changes in your life and doing so in a way that doesn't feel like "work" or sacrificing. Goal-setting, motivation, and real-life means of measuring your progress are just some of the great tools presented here to help you on your way to wellness. An excellent and important book that every family should own, read, and put into practice!
