The lifestyle a person lives affects not only health in general but more specifically it affects the cellular health. Chronic stress and inflammation damages cellular health which in turn affects ones immune system according Deepak Chopara, M.D. and Rudolph Tanzi, PhD in "The Healing Self." Dr. Chopara explains how important it is to protect our immunity to realize a healthy life. Our environment is full of deadly pathogens and toxins to name a few. Each person must take responsibility for his/her own health and not rely others. They write, "On its own the body knows how to survive, it's up to us to teach it how to thrive (p. 16)". The mind-body connection has never been shown to be more prevalent then between these pages.
The book is divided into two parts: the investigation/research and a seven day action plan. The latter gives recommendations for each day of the week for a person to follow as he/she make lifestyle changes to better his/her overall health. If you want to take control of your health and well-being, I highly recommend reading this book and start working on the action plan provided.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Blogging for Books and was under no obligation to post a review.
