Summary

With energizing colors and action-oriented photographs, The Natural Health Bible first inspires health-seekers and then guides them in making healthy habits part of their regular routines. Emphasizing the joys of positive natural good health, The Natural Health Bible is for people who want to improve their overall health and feel great while doing so. To help readers create individual programs for well-being, author Lisha Simester presents the best options for health of the body, mind and spirit. An advocate of preventing illness, she describes the full range of alternative therapies and treatments available for preventative medicine and enhanced wellbeing, explaining when they are beneficial and how to use them. "As more people wake up to the fact that there is a lot that can be done to prevent illness in the first place, it is up to each of us to discover a health regime that best fits our unique disposition, type and need," Simester writes. The book's organization helps readers gain a working knowledge of a range of vitamin-rich foods, natural supplements, invigorating exercises, and de-stressing mechanisms so they can choose the options that best fit them. There is a fully illustrated exercise program suitable for people of all levels of fitness and a program of yoga exercises for beginners. There are even sections on the benefits of fruits, spices, dancing, laughter, massage, meditation and more. The comprehensive natural therapies section works as an encyclopedia of natural health practices, summarizing the history of concepts from reiki to kinesiology and light therapy to naturopathy.
