Motivational Books to Move You!

"Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving" Albert EinsteinIn times like these, it's more important than ever to keep your balance! Here are five books to help with your personal balancing act:1. The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest By Dan Buettner Dan Buettner has an association with the National Geographic Society, and is familiar with many cultures around the world. He defines a "Blue Zone" as a geographic area that produces high rates of people living over 100 years. His talks with these people about their secrets to longevity reveal little that is secret. In fact, he finds that they just have naturally adopted healthy habits as a way of life. Some of them are obvious-lots of fresh water, fresh air, and exercise, and others aren't so black and white. Nevertheless, Dan gives us a lot of insight into how they live, and how we can incorporate much of what they do into our new, longer lives, leaving
us with nine main principles to consider and implement.2. The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite by David Kessler, MDA quick Google search on David Kessler, and you find out about a man who earned his law degree from the University of Chicago, while attending medical school at Harvard. He became FDA Commissioner, and led the fight against Big Tobacco, and also rolled out nutritional labeling. In this book, he goes even further, speaking out against the corporations that serve us highly processed, nutritionally lacking foods. Seems that since the 1980's, processed food manipulation has risen tremendously, along with the average American's weight! His book gives answers to why these foods have such control over us, and what we can do to change that dynamic so that we can eat the healthy, nutritious food that our bodies require for optimum health.3. Always Looking Up: The Adventures of an Incurable Optimist by Michael J. FoxMichael J. Fox rose
to stardom as Alex Keaton in 1970's series Growing Pains, and became a true "movie star" after driving the silver DeLorean "Back to the Future." This book, however, shows how very human he is, and discusses the years of his life since Parkinson's Disease created a major detour in the path that had been so certain. Michael deals with his progressive illness with grace, while always fighting back, and knowing that a cure is in sight. He maintains a positive attitude, humor, and optimism towards his illness, which is a lesson for us all to make the best of the situation we are dealt.4.
