Another health book that I enjoyed reading. I think I'm one of those odd ducks that enjoys reading old encyclopedias and health textbooks. This book is quite old- almost two decades old- in fact! I found it at a book fair. I could not resist reading it as I am always excited about reading books that provide facts and tips on attaining and maintaining good health now- and into the future.
Although modern medicine and natural alternatives have advanced, this book provides some long lasting, "stand-the-test-of-time," advice on taking care of your health. It was easy to understand and pleasant to read (for a knowledge seeker like me). Every illness cannot be solved with magical pills, and so taking a preventative approach with basic, meaningful choices and actions that promote good health is, I believe, a wise approach. This book conveyed all that and more.
What I would like to mostly convey in thsi review is that no book is "too old" to curl up and read.
