Having learned that I now have hypertension, I wanted to find a way to work on it in a sensible way. Now, I’m a ‘type A’ personality that wants to get it done yesterday! This book, however, does not get you there yesterday!
40 Days to Better Living: Hypertension is a book that requires a balance between medications, lifestyle, emotions, family and friends, diet , exercise, stress, nutrition, and most importantly, prayer and meditation on God’s goals for healthy living.
The book holds you accountable, yet doesn’t condemn if you fail. In fact, it encourages you from the morning reflection to the evening wrap-up. It sets the tone by taking time to pray and/or meditate and plan some goals for your day. It’s divided into six individual weeks, based on six different individuals, in a 40-day journey. Two days are left for reviewing what you did or didn’t accomplish, rejoicing in the good changes, and reflecting on your continuing future goals.
Now you are ready to begin working on a lifestyle of wellness, changing and adding exercises, foods, and eating habits for the better. As we are admonished, “Remember to take time to pray or meditate each day.”
A quick reminder: these six different people came to the Church Health Center for assistance. I don’t think this book was necessarily meant to be used without medical supervision. I would look at this book as a work-along with your physician’s advice, as each person’s health is different. I know my health is way different from the six patients described here in the book, so I would need some guidance and direction.
This book is not the ‘let’s get this done yesterday’ book, but it is sensible and useful. As an aside, the photos themselves are stimulating and encouraging as you go through the book, uplifting and edifying you throughout!
