Review
From a health and fitness trainer, this attractively presented holistic package yokes a variety of Eastern and anti-stress techniques into recommended ways to wake with a positive mood, work productively, have fun relaxing, eat healthily, be happy in relationships and sleep well. In other words, a complete health guide with calming Zen-like colour illustrations, affirmations boosting self-esteem, yoga exercise sequences that include "loving stretches" for partners, and loads of advice sourced in Buddhism, Feng Shui, meditation. You name the mind-body-spirit technique and Malcolm has included it in her well-structured book. Health Style is pleasing to the eye, undoubtedly beneficial if followed, and rides the current trend for such east-west m langes.
Described as the complete integrated guide to a healthy lifestyle, this handsome hardback book is beautifully illustrated, containing photographs of peaceful scenes and transparent pages illustrating various exercises. To call it a coffee-table book is not to denigrate it, since it is a book which you will want to dip into frequently. It is a complete guide to diet, exercise, meditation, working, relaxing, loving and sleeping. Ranging over a wide spectrum of philosophy, the author describes various exercise techniques from T'ai Chi through to Zen, from peaceful meditation to acupressure, from self-massage to controlled breathing. All methods concentrate on the holistic aspect of exercise and self-help and are particularly useful for those who are unwilling or unable to take part in strenuous exercise. The photographs take the reader through a step-by-step approach and contain practical tips on posture and exercise for work and relaxation. The diet section provides information about yin and yang foods and the benefits of fasting and also includes recipes which may help prevent cancer and other serious illnesses, while other chapters deal with relationship problems, stress and mental balancing techniques. The tone of the book is practical, and designed to help the reader fit the advice easily into his or her lifestyle. The author, a consultant to Reebok, took her own advice and left her pressurised career as a solicitor in order to teach health and fitness. While the reader may not be able to escape from the pressures of a demanding career, there is much to think about in this book and much practical advice which could be adopted in order to make life more enjoyable and relaxing.

Living Healthy,
By Jen Colbert (Mid South) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Health Style: The Complete Integrated Guide to a Healthy Life (Hardcover)
This book is, first of all, beautifully constructed. The colors of the pages and pictures are so serene that you don't feel overwhelmed. The author gives you wonderful advice to make you feel like you are living as healthy as possible. It makes me feel like I am weightless when I read this book. It's relaxing just to read and look at, even if you don't do the relaxation exercises.
