I have been a serious health nut for almost three years now. I used to suffer from fibromyalgia and I had fifty pounds to lose until one day I made drastic changes to my diet. I lost the fifty pounds and the fibromyalgia. I have read countless books and I’ve done tons of research on healthy diet and lifestyle.
I was looking forward to reading Do This & Live Healthy because this author is new to me and because he approaches health from a natural and preventative standpoint. It is that time of year when so many of us are making resolutions and so many of those resolutions are to lose weight and get healthy. It can be rather confusing and intimidating if a person lived the way I did, not having a clue about real health. Dr. Verhulst’s book is a good primer for the health novice. He lays out the information in an organized and readable way, and he gives the biblical perspective to health. I found the book to be a little too basic for my personal use, but for anyone who wants a good place to start, this book is terrific. I didn’t find anything in this book that I took exception to and there is nothing in this book that isn’t practical and useful. Dr. Verhulst did a good job delivering a meaningful message that I think anyone can understand and use.
If you are looking to improve your health and you are confused by all the books and information out there, Do This & Live Healthy will be a friendly place for you to start. Best wishes for the New Year!

When I saw this book I said to myself, Oh,No another book on health and fitness. Books like that have flooded the market. I was so very wrong to think that. This book Do This and Live Healthy-10 Simple Keys That Cure is a book like no other. From the very first page I was intrigued and couldn‘t wait to read more. This book isn’t a book of don’ts but a book of Dos.
The 10 keys are like it says very simple. Anyone can do them and will feel better and be more healthy right away. I’ll just tell you a couple of the keys, because I really want you to buy this book. It will be the best book buy you have ever made.
Key 2: Get to bed on time: sleep and the great healer. From 10:00 p.m. until midnight your sleep is four times more restorative than the hours you sleep after midnight. {Also Dr. Don has many more reasons in this key}
Key 6: Bring Forth Fruit. The apple excels at helping the body detoxify and fight viral infections. It has been shown to lower blood cholesterol and blood pressure and stabilize blood sugar. {Dr. Don talks about a lot of different fruits and their benefits.} This book is just packed full of good advice and reasons for everything he says. Dr. Don talks about the Bible and the way Jesus did things when he was on the earth.
This book comes in two sections. The first tells about the 10 keys to health and the second section is a reference guide for common health problems. Some of the problems he discusses are ADHD, Allergies, Alzheimer’s Disease, Cancer and many others.
If you never read another health book in your life this one is a must. Do This and Live Healthy-10 Simple Keys That Cure will not make you feel guilty about your life or habits, it just gives you encouragment and helps you make plans to improve your lifestyle. This book is for everyone and if you do everything in this book I can promise your health will greatly improve and you will feel much younger.
This is one of my favorite books of 2012 and would be yours also. I plan on telling everyone I know about it, because I really believe it’s so important for us to take care of ourselves so we can live longer with better lives.
I highly recommend this 5-star book and wish for all of you to own it.

In Do This and Live Healthy, Don Verhulst demonstrated ten critical healthy steps to change readers overall wellbeing. He backed up his ten keys with tons of encouraging scripture references. This book first key covers the importance of relaxing and trusting God to handle our life and any problems we may have to face. He believed in “four-six it” our cares and concerns to God. This means to do what Philippians 4:6 says we must do. He persuaded readers to laugh daily to reduce stress hormones and laughing also boosts the immune system. Having joy and being cheerful are some of the things the word speaks about. For example, “A merry heart does good, like medicine” (Proverbs 17:22). Another key to great health is getting the proper amount of sleep each night. Verhulst recommended sleeping at least for six to eight hours a night. An additional significant key that has wonderful health benefits is exercising and increasing your muscle tone. During exercise, your body releases endorphins that assist in releasing natural painkillers. Exercise also dramatically improves your mental outlook on life. The book contained many more extremely important keys to living healthier.
The second section of the book contains a reference guide for common health problems. Some of the common problems we have to encounter are ADHD, Alzheimer Disease, Cancer, Fibromyalgia, Cholesterol, Flu, Heartburn and Acid Reflux, High Blood Pressure, Sinus, Yeast Infections, and many other health issues. Don Verhulst will show you ways to prevent sickness and how to correct the health problems.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking to fix their overall health. Let’s be honest, who doesn’t want to live a long healthy life. Everyone can benefit from putting the ten keys into practice. The ten keys are simple and they aren’t impossible to accomplish. I learned that horses eat the whole parts of the apples and many humans tend to not consume the peeling, the core, and the seeds. I have personally never have eaten the seeds or the core because I was always told not to. But Don says it is perfectly fine to consume them. He goes on to say that the seeds assist your body in eliminating cancer cells. I also learned that we lose a pound of muscle every year starting at age twenty in the average non-exerciser. But by exercising we can start to form muscle and keep our muscle tone! We are overcomers! This book had superb tips and keys to achieve the health the God and his Bible called us to have. If you’re looking for simple keys to greater health then read this book! The keys are some you wouldn’t have believed the scriptures would have contain passages about living in our total health. Get ready to be living out your best healthy life!
