Promoting Self-Change from Problem Substance Use Book

Eat, Drink, & Be Merry, the title of radio talk show doctor, Dean Edell's book is also a shorthand description of his prescription for how to live a healthy life. The book is informative, witty and provides a common sense look at a variety of popular health topics. Dr. Edell's recommendations are pretty straightforward -- eat a healthy diet consisting of a variety of foods, reasonable portion sizes, and plenty of fruits and vegetables. Forget vitamins and supplements. Drink a glass of wine or two a couple of times a week -- it's good for you. Enjoy sex, preferably in a monogamous relationship, and maintain an optomistic outlook. People who do these things live longer and are happier.

With all the diet books and hype about alternative treatments and fad supplements, you could do a lot worse than to take health advice from this book. So read it and enjoy!
