The goal of Dr. Speidel's new book, The Building Blocks of Health--How to Optimize Your Health with a Lifestyle Checklist, is to help Americans adopt a lifestyle that will reverse much of the damage from their unhealthy way of living that leads to illness and premature death.
Each of the book's chapters focuses on an important health-related topic such as nutrition, weight control, heart disease, cancer and dementia. This is a book that all Americans should read, and doctors will want to give to their patients because they do not have enough time to provide good counseling about an optimally healthy lifestyle. The behaviors described in The Building Blocks of Health are highly effective in restoring and maintaining health.
