Healthy Lifestyle Resources

Thu, May 22 2008

Everybody knows you need to consider healthy nutrition and regular exercise when learning a healthy lifestyle. What many people don't know is how to incorporate both concepts in their daily lives on a consistent basis. To master the habbits of regular exercise and learn more about healthy nutrition, I highly recommend the following resources.

1. Eat, Drink and Be Healthy by Walter Willett

Eat, Drink and Be Healthy is a basic nutrition guide that explains the science and research behind healthy food. It discusses topics such as "what carbohydrates will keep your weight in balance" and "do we really need vitamine supplements?". Written in a very understandable way and based on extensive scientific research, this book is an excellent and unbiased introduction to a healthy lifestyle. You can read a little review of this book I wrote right here.

2. What To Eat by Marion Nestle

With all the junk food out there, what can we still eat? Marion Nestle gives you a very comprehensive and well documented overview in the popular book What To Eat. She answers question such as 'What is Certified Organic', 'What are Trans Fats' and 'do Margarines reduce your cholesterol?'

3. Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle by Tom Venuto (ebook) !!!!

While the sales page of this ebook may come of as a bit corny, this ebook is of high quality. Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle is probably the best fat loss guide out there as it gives you all the facts you need to know. No lies or stupid weight loss concepts. Only the truth. If you really want understand how fat loss works, this 300 page fat loss ebook is essential. I have yet to come across a better one.

4. Food Politics by Marion Nestle

Understanding the politics and business that surrounds the food industry will get you a long way in understanding how we are "tricked" into eating junk food on a daily basis. Though very informative, Food Politics isn't really about a healthy lifestyle. Nonetheless, a real eye-opener.

5. Habit Guide by Mike Kinnaird (ebook)

Though quite expensive in my opinion, this book holds some valuable information. Living a healthy lifestyle is about more than just exercise and healthy food. Throughout your life you've learned several unhealthy habits. These need to be unlearned so you can make place for new, healthier habits. This Habit Guide ebook tells you how to do it.
