A Sound Mind in a Sound Body
Live Long, Live Healthy
Description:... Research has shown that a long and healthy life can be attributed to harmony of four specific areas: physical activity, cognitive development, psychological mindset, and nutrition. While many other mind/body connection books focus on improving health from only one or two of those viewpoints, A Sound Mind in a Sound Body examines all four areas and the research that has been conducted in them. Author Dennis Kravetz, a practicing psychologist who has been involved with both psychological and medical research for his entire career, explains the findings in a pragmatic, yet entertaining, manner, and includes self-graded quizzes to assess healthy-living practices, reviews of the most current research available, and doable action items for both maximizing longevity and avoiding debilitating conditions. When they understand the biochemistry that affects the aging process, readers are more likely to engage in a healthy lifestyle, thereby increasing their chances for a longer, healthier life.
