We feel you are holding in your hands a prescription for ageless energy and timeless health. We are fitness and nutrition professionals. As good fortune would have it, we stumbled upon the secret many, many years ago (it's not really a secret, as you will learn) of living a life of vitality, optimism and prime physical health. One of us was born in 1926, and the other was born in 1961. One of us lives on the west coast and one in the Midwest. One of us is a woman, one of us, a man. One, a senior (from the greatest generation that ever lived), one a boomer. On the surface, it appears we don't have much in common.In fact, we have a lot in common; the most important is this: We both have a passion for teaching others the right way to live fuller, richer lives!

Download or read book The Temple of Perfection written by Eric Chaline and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These days there is only one right answer when someone asks you what you are doing after work. Hitting the gym! With an explosion of apps, clothing, devices, and countless DVDs, fitness has never felt more modern, and the gym is its holy laboratory, alive with machinery, sweat, and dance music. But we are far from the first to pursue bodily perfection—the gymnasium dates back 2,800 years, to the very beginnings of Western civilization. In The Temple of Perfection, Eric Chaline offers the first proper consideration of the gym’s complex, layered history and the influence it has had on the development of Western individualism, society, education, and politics. As Chaline shows, how we take care of our bodies has long been based on a complex mix of spiritual beliefs, moral discipline, and aesthetic ideals that are all entangled with political, social, and sexual power. Today, training in a gym is seen primarily as part of the pursuit of individual fulfillment. As he shows, however, the gym has always had a secondary role in creating men and women who are “fit for purpose”—a notion that has meant a lot of different things throughout history. Chaline surveys the gym’s many incarnations and the ways the individual, the nation-state, the media, and the corporate world have intersected in its steamy confines, sometimes with unintended consequences. He shows that the gym is far more than a factory for superficiality and self-obsession—it is one of the principle battlefields of humanity’s social, sexual, and cultural wars. Exploring the gym’s history from a multitude of perspectives, Chaline concludes by looking toward its future as it struggles to redefine itself in a world in thrall to quick fixes—such as plastic surgery and pharmaceuticals—meant to attain the gym’s ultimate promises: physical fitness and beauty.

Download or read book The Simple and Natural Way to Vibrant Health written by George X. Yu and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-10-16 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Simple and Natural Way to Vibrant Health is the product of over a decade of investigation and research that has drastically transformed the author’s life. Chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, allergies, obesity and diabetes have skyrocketed worldwide in recent decades. In fact, most people have at least one health problem, big or small. Surprisingly, the root causes of chronic diseases are rarely explored and often regarded as “unknown.” Without understanding the causes, disease prevention is difficult if not impossible. Indeed, the majority of people are not aware of the fact that they are the authors of their own health and they have full control over their well-being. By revealing the fundamental causes of chronic diseases, this book presents a simple and natural way to get well and stay fit. These timeless secrets are not based on the latest hype such as red wine or dark chocolate, and they will not go out of fashion like fad diets. Furthermore, the book goes beyond food and drink and covers every aspect of one’s lifestyle important to one’s health—including air, sun, physical activities, emotional well-being, personal care products, cell phone use, detoxification, and much more. Unlike the complex and sometimes contradictory information in the public domain, the natural eating and living principles in this book are remarkably simple and clear. They have been tested by time, substantiated by science, and demonstrated by personal healing experiences. The Simple and Natural Way to Vibrant Health lets you take control of something that is rightly yours: your health.
