The Handbook for Health (ePub)

'The Handbook for Health' is a transformative guide written by Dr. Chris Turnpaugh and Dr. Cynthia West that distills the essence of lifestyle medicine into practical wisdom for longevity and wellness. This guide dives into the foundational behaviors that influence 85% of chronic disease outcomes, presenting the keys to health as simple as what can be held in one hand: diet, sleep, movement, stress management, and timely intervention through supplements or medication. Drawing inspiration from the Blue Zones, regions known for their high number of centenarians, the book reveals that while these populations eventually face common diseases, they do so much later in life, enjoying a longer health span. 'The Handbook for Health' offers readers a straightforward approach to crafting a lifestyle that not only reduces the risk of disease but also prolongs the time until its onset. By leveraging the interplay between essential health components-diet, sleep, movement, stress, and medication and/or supplements-this guide empowers you to create a sustainable, healthy lifestyle. With this book, learn to count the building blocks of a robust health regimen as easily as counting on your fingers, and pave the way to a future of better health and longevity.
