5.0 out of 5 stars Not Just For Prevention, April 6, 2008

By	personaltrainer5 - See all my reviews

Get a subscription to this handy little magazine (its just slightly taller than a Reader's Digest) if you not only want to prevent illness and disease, but learn what you can do about health problems you already might have (such as diabetes, heart disease, or obesity). Some of its regular departments include:

-Health (latest health news and trends, Q and A from the experts)
-Real Life (inspirational and motivational health success stories)
-Beauty (tips to look your best)
-Fitness (exercises, motivational tips)
-Nutrition (food tips and up-to-date nutritional advice)
-Mind (info to keep your mind sharp)

As you can see, its a pretty well-rounded health magazine that is perfect for health-minded individuals. Also recommend The 5-Minute Plantar Fasciitis Solution if you have plantar fasciitis that interferes with your exercise routine.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sad (de)-evolution into a fluff magazine..., September 13, 2003

By	Fanshawe (SC, USA) - See all my reviews

Back in the 1970's my grandmother subscribed to Prevention. At that time, it was a wonderful magazine, filled with informative articles aimed at the "Prevention" of illness and the promotion of wellness (as the founder of Prevention, J.I. Rodale had preached). Articles about the role of vitamins and nutrition were light years ahead of their time. (J.I. can be given a lot of credit for bringing vitamins and supplements to the mainstream). Over the years, and especially after the tragic death of Robert Rodale (J.I.'s son), and the takeover by his wife and daughter, it has unfortunately transformed into a fluffy, tabloid-like "women's magazine" with scantily clad women on the covers, and one- or two-page articles instructing women to get killer abs and burn the fat. I think J.I. Rodale is probably spinning in his grave to see what his descendents have done to butcher this magazine, which bears NO resemblence whatsoever to what it used to be. I flipped through a copy in disgust recently to note, as another reviewer has stated, plenty of ads for DRUGS which really seems to go against the idea of preventing illness in the first place (whereas the old Prevention sang the praises of vitamins and health foods). I don't know why the Rodale family doesn't just scrap the title and call it something else, but alas, they are a major corporation now and I have little hope that this magazine will improve any time soon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tons of Ads, and Little Content, January 9, 2002

By	Stephanie Manley (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This is not my favorite fitness magazine. This is the size of a Reader's Digest, but is packed with ads just like a Beauty Magazine. I find this a bit disappointing considering the breadth of information they tend to cover. They share reasonable and attainable goals, and suggestions for us normal people. The magazine seems to cover a wide age group, with information that is good for both young and old. They do offer recipes, workout suggestions, and much more. The magazine takes little time to read, and seems to only serve as a springboard for more follow up on topics you enjoy. I think this is a better magazine to browse through at the supermarket than to purchase.
