Two Like-Titled Paths to A Healthier You

There are now at least two available books titled "A Healthier You," and both of them have the goods to deliver exactly what they promise.  "A Healthier You" number one is a holistic exploration of medical issues written quite recently by Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, a specialist in integrative medicine, and a perhaps too-frequent guest on health-related talk shows. Tenpenny encourages readers to treat the underlying cause of issues, rather than the symptoms, as is the preference of U.S. healthcare.
"A Healthier You" number two is the probably a more useful book, and certainly a more interesting book, if only because of the peculiarity of its source. The 340-page collection of dietary and exercise advice is the first effort of the Department of Health and Human Services to market a book in such chancy venues as bookstores and websites. At least one reliable source, the  Washington Post’s healthful lifestyle writer, Sally Squires, thinks the book is well worth the price of admission, which at $12.95 is not exactly steep. Here’s what Squires has to say: "A Healthier You" explains why healthy eating habits matter and makes
the case for regular physical activity. It provides guidance on how to
start changing habits, underscores the importance of finding balance
between calories in and calories out, and explains why eating too much
fat, added sugars and salt can undermine efforts to achieve a healthier
weight. The book serves up numerous charts, work sheets and lists to
help readers put their new habits into action." Read enough?  Spend the thirteen bucks and read the whole thing.
