The OSU Press is proud to introduce Linus Pauling's How to Live
Longer and Feel Better to a new generation of readers interested in
achieving excellent health. A New York Times bestseller when it was
first published in 1986, Pauling's seminal work proposes taking
vitamins and minerals to prevent disease and live a long life.
Eminently readable and challenging on many levels, the book
compiled for a popular audience a generation of scientific
knowledge and helped to revolutionize the way Americans think about
nutrition. Pauling's simple, inexpensive plan suggests avoiding
sugar, stress, and smoking; working in a job that you like; and
being happy with your family. To avoid serious illness and enjoy a
longer life, he recommends taking vitamins for optimal health and
as insurance against disease. Pauling greatly influenced subsequent
research regarding the role of nutrition in healthy living, coining
the term ""orthomolecular medicine"" to describe the practice of
using vitamins and other substances normally present in the body to
improve health and fight viruses, cancer, cardiovascular disease,
allergies, arthritis, and other illnesses. Since 1986 the
scientific community has paid renewed attention to the field of
nutrition; clinical and longevity studies have examined the links
between vitamin C and health, for example. Some of Pauling's
findings have been challenged, but the essential tenets of his
thesis on the importance of nutritional supplements remain
undisputed. A new historical introduction by Melinda Gormley
details Pauling's life and his fascinating intellectual growth,
from his formative years as a molecular chemist to his peace
activism and his later interest in nutrition. His extraordinary
ability to cross disciplinary boundaries (specifically, using his
knowledge of molecular structure to rethink the role of
micronutrients in disease) combined with his accessible writing for
a lay audience, make How to Live Longer and Feel Better a classic.
This new edition includes information on additional resources from
the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University. Whether one
reads Pauling's book for his prescription for healthy living, for
an understanding of his impact on nutritional science today, or for
its historical importance, one cannot escape the conclusion that
diet and lifestyle are the key to disease prevention.
