Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a guide to maintaining and achieving optimal health through a focus on natural remedies. It is divided into several sections, with the first focusing on general information and concepts around health and the body. The remainder of the book covers specific topics such as air, food and drink, our natural functions, the sexual dynamic, and aging. The author, who has written other books on the subject, cites the ancients as having expressed the key to good health as starting with an appreciation of a long and healthy life. From here, the book explores the connection between food and a long life. The author then discusses the widespread nature of poor health in the present day but does so to make a point about how we have lost touch with some of the ancient wisdom around health. There is also a large emphasis on the importance of proactive and preventative physical and mental well-being. While some may find the author's skepticism around certain modern medical practices off-putting, the book is rich with well-supported historical context and data that makes it easy to see the author's point of view. Anyone interested in learning more about how the ancients thought about and practiced good health will find this book to be a valuable resource.
