Donald E. Alsbro (Author)


Available from these sellers.



Book Description

July 2004
In the world of wellness books there always seems to be two choices, those which are too technical, and those which are too simple. "Take the Wellness Road" is one of those books which fits nicely in the middle and can be used by both professionals and individuals looking for help in making lifestyle changes. It is a mixture of research and practical application of taking care of the body with numerous illustrations, self assessment opportunities, inspiring quotes and practical tips. A complete book!

The author COL (Ret) Donald E. Alsbro, EdD developer of a world wide weight management program "Dump Your Plump," has used his 30 years of teaching college health classes, and 32 years in the military as a medical specialist to author a comprehensive wellness manual. The book contains chapters on wellness, physical fitness, nutrition, supplementation, stress, spirituality, alternative and integrative medicine and environment.
