We all have busy lives - the boom in technology has not brought
with it the promised additional leisure time, and most of us work
longer hours than we did 20 years ago. For many working people,
lunch is a quick sandwich at the desk and the evening meal is
something from the freezer that can be shoved into the microwave.
No wonder more and more work time is being lost through illness. We
don't look after ourselves. We don't take time to sit down and
watch the flowers grow. Instead we throw supplements into our
bodies, follow the latest diet fad and hope for the best. But are
these supplements the right ones for us? How can we change our diet
not only to bring out the best in our bodies but also to suit our
lifestyles? Will those holistic treatments shown on morning TV
really work? If you are taking any vitamin supplements, undergoing
any form of holistic therapy, or just wanting to learn about the
links between diet and heath, you should read this book. Susan
Clark, a respected author and journalist who has won the title of
Health Journalist of the Year, has studied all the latest research,
spoken to the experts and read the books. The resulting volume is
divided into four parts: 'BodyWorks', outlining the five building
blocks of good health; 'Top-to-Toe', an A-Z of 80 everyday health
complaints; 'Hands-On', a comprehensive guide to complementary
treatments; and 'SoulWorks', which addresses spiritual health. Each
section contains thoroughly researched and tested advice, in a
simple, easy-to-use format. At the back of the book, you'll find an
intensive bibliography and resource list, along with suggested
further reading. The only failing is the lack of an index. (Kirkus
