This book is about things that you can do starting now (or things you should stop doing now) to live a healthier, happier, longer and funcational life. I would recommend this book to anybody who is not into regular exersices and not conciously eating healthier food.
The strenghts of the book:
- Sanjay Gupta explains medical lingua in a way that common people can understand.
- He has a bullteized to-do items at the end of each chapter, which make you come back to what he is trying to tell you after all the medical slang.
- He touches each and every aspect of leading a healthy life from basics, such as vitamins and antioxidants to stress to HGH, stem cells to exersices. He not only explains the medical reasons why or why not each of those topics contribute to healthy functional life, but he also boils them down to the ten things you can/should do.
Here are a few things that I learnt myself to do (including the medical reasons behind them) and have already started working for me
Diet
1. Push away the food when you are 80% full
2. Eat a breakfast, it helps you eat less calories through out the day
3. Add a fish, a glass of wine a bar of brown choclate a week
Exersice
1. Add upper body weight resistance to cardiovascular
2. Be more active, have more movement during the day
3. Surprise your body with newer activities
Stress
1. Learn how to reduce or manage/enjoy stress
2. How optimistic attitude can help you live happy, longer life
