The Canyon Ranch Guide to Living Younger Longer: A Complete Program for Optimal Health for Body, Mind, and Spirit
Before splurging on a week at the world-famous spa, why not experiment with Canyon Ranch's new distance-learning program? Examining everything from your sleep schedule to daily fitness, this book's aim is for you to feel your best in every respect. The staff of the spa has pooled its experience into 10 simple chapters that cover exercise (with photos and instructions), nutritional information (with recipes), and relaxation techniques (start with a hot bath). Inspirational stories are plentiful, leaving you with a feeling that success is just around the corner. Insisting there is no ideal weight, the food chapters end with the request for you to "go out there and be reasonable," which is excellent advice for us all. The introduction offers three ways to use the book to achieve the particular goals of weight loss, stress management, and cardiovascular health--if one of these goals is your priority, use the specific chapter recommendations rather than reading the book straight through. Every chapter stands beautifully on its own, and taken as a whole,The Canyon Ranch Guide to Living Younger Longermight just change your life.--Jill Lightner
