Synopsis

For years people all over the world have been inflicting more illness and suffering on themselves than any war has ever done. The fat guy smoking a cigarette. The thin woman rendered raw by alcohol. The kid stuffing another fat-laden fast-food meal into his mouth. The millions upon millions of couch potatoes who haven't done a lick of decent exercise since they passed puberty.<P? But what happens to all these millions upon millions of people? Nothing, for most of the time. But then, suddenly there is a heart attack, a stroke, or cancer. All these life changing irrevocable events that destroy their own lives and along with them, the lives of everyone around them.

And sometimes it is not so sudden - the slow suffocation of emphysema, the long autumn of health related unemployment, the desperate loneliness of congestive cardiac failure. Is all of this preventable? Not all of it, no. Some diseases just happen even with the best diet and intentions in the world. But most of it is preventable, if we would only change the way we live.

This is not a book full of references and science, but just a book about getting healthy and staying healthy for life! So take charge of your future and read this book.
