What is the first book you are logging this summer?

For most people, lifestyle choices help or hinder our health. I'm fascinated by food as medicine. Dean Ornish and his wife Anne Ornish have laid out a lifestyle plan that can reverse or reduce chronic illness such as diabetes, heart disease and more. This is not an alternative medicine book, but they offer more than just symptom control.

They focus on four areas: what you eat, how you manage stress, how much love and support you have, and how much you move. Even if you don't follow their whole plan, there are some great tips for living a healthier and fuller life.

Remember all you need for a perfect beach body is your body and a trip to the beach. We don't need to change anything about ourselves to live life.
