description: Amid a barrage of confusing health advice, many Americans have lost sight of what really matters when it comes to health. Good health is not achieved by taking a magic mix of supplements, having total body scans, or having our blood tested "at the cellular level." Rather, what makes or breaks health are the simple lifestyle choices we make every day. This is the main theme of Wellness Simple Steps to a Longer, Healthier Life, a medically sound and inspiring guide to good health. Author Marvin Moe Bell, M.D., a 20-year practitioner and teacher of family medicine, emphasizes that lifestyle choices impact nearly every aspect of health. Wellness Prescriptions provides pearls of wisdom on diet, exercise, stress, alcohol, and tobacco. It also addresses the most common and serious problems afflicting Americans, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and obesity; lung, colon, breast, cervical, and prostate cancers; and arthritis, osteoporosis, and memory loss. Dr. Bell’s recommendations are based on the latest medical evidence and enhanced by real patient stories. His personal, easy-to-understand advice empowers and motivates readers to take charge of their health.
