It's Your Life: End the confusion from inconsistent health advice - Brossura

9781907962110: It's Your Life: End the confusion from inconsistent health advice

Sinossi

This book aims to end the confusion resulting from the huge outpouring of conflicting health advice appearing in the media almost daily. For example: Should we drink tap or bottled water? Is it necessary to buy solely organic foods? Are we being poisoned by pesticides and food additives? Are vitamin supplements really necessary and which ones should we take? Do we have to exercise 5 times per week? All advice offered is based on the analysis of existing scientific evidence and does not result from any alliance to a Government Organisation, an Alternative Health or Lifestyle Charity, or a Pharmaceutical Company. This book does not profess to tell you how to live to be a 100 years old but it does show you, SIMPLY, how to maintain health, fitness, strength, energy and a feeling of well-being throughout your life and into your later years.
