1. Exercise, Eat Healthily, and Weight Loss

Health is wealth — we all have heard of this old saying. Yet, many of us leave little to no room for our wellbeing in our day to day routine. Therefore, when it comes to a new start, the first thing that comes into our heads is a healthy and fit lifestyle. And that reflects upon our new year’s resolution as well.

Thus, the activities like: doing exercise, having more salutary meals, and losing weight — rank higher among the most popular new year resolutions.

These are topics with numerous self-help books in the offering. However, I prefer books with substantial credibility and authenticity. Thus, I suggest these three pieces of texts from the Mayo Clinic lineup to help you lead an overall healthy life.

1.1. Mayo Clinic Fitness for Everybody — by Diane Dahm and Jay Smith

With the internet, we are witnessing an over-saturation of self-proclaimed fitness gurus and Insta-athletes. If you Google the keyword: workouts to reduce belly fat, you will get an overwhelming amount of content. However, by following them, you will be at risk of harming yourself. Why? It is because most of those sources are not aware of your unique physical conditions. Therefore, they gloss over the safety measures.

Mayo Clinic Fitness for Everybody is both informative and inspirational. It not only covers a spectrum of essential information but also illustrates how to exercise safely and effectively. With this one by your side, you can build an exercise following your needs and lifestyle. The best thing about this book doesn’t shy away from talking about medical or age-related problems. As a result, you can focus on your fitness without any risk of micro-injury.

Features:

It is not a book you read for muscle pumping. Instead, it focuses on your overall fitness and well being.

This book prioritizes your safety over anything. The last thing you want is a niggle trying to follow a YouTube stunt.

The book doesn’t only set out actionable instructions, but it also explains their importance.

1.2. The Mayo Clinic Diet — by Donald Hensrud

If exercise is one side of the coin of fitness, eating well would be the other one. But how to do it? As going out (frequently) can prove to be lethal nowadays, it is inconvenient to appoint a dietician on a regular interval.

Hence I suggest you The Mayo Clinic Diet. It is an excellent alternative, offering clinically tested techniques. It further breaks you from the default lifestyle, allowing you to reshape it for your betterment. Only then — you break the chain of old habits to adopt new ones. Designed by experts, this text is a scientifically sound, wholesome approach to long-term weight management.

Features:

This book is accessible with detailed pictures, graphics, tips, recipes, and artwork. Therefore, it makes you grasp the intricacies of weight management easily.

If you are afraid of the word diet, you should get this one. The book does a good job showing how easy it can be to eat right and lose weight.
