This book contains 75 health tips, each presented in a short, easy-to-read chapter that can be read within a few minutes (many within one minute). In A MINUTE FOR YOUR HEALTH, readers will find solid information that can help them lead healthier lives and prevent disease. The book motivates readers to understand the powerful relationship between the mind, body, and spirit; and how physicians and other health care professionals can work jointly with spiritual leaders of all faiths to help people improve their health and lead more vital lives. Spirituality is a core component of this book, which can be used by individuals and by congregations who can base health care discussions around each chapter's theme. Subjects include: finding a medical home, laughter as good medicine, eating healthfully, myths about exercise, reducing stress, disease prevention, facts about fats, living with diabetes, controlling high blood pressure and much more.
