Cancer in the Community: Class and Medical Authority Book

When it comes to personal health and wellness, I'm a supporter of integrating both Western and Eastern medicine into my lifestyle. Dr. Andrew Weil, a Harvard Medical trained physician, and advocate of alternative medicine is a good combination of the two (and forgive my saying this, not too crunchy birkenstock, which is often my worry with seeking alternate remedies for my health issues).

In this (not quite diet/ mostly lifestyle) manual for health, Dr. Weil explores the adoption of healthy habits into everyday living, including walking, drinking water, and the addition of vegetables, etc. into a balanced diet.

The book is broken down into different sections in a step by step approach, although is easily readable and adopted in less than eight weeks, although, I think for most people, slowly adopting habits is the way to make them stick.

Most of the stuff in this book I already knew, but Dr. Weil frames the issue in an informative and inspirational way. I'd recommend this to most people I know, just to take another look at how they are living, and what they can do to achieve optimum health.
