Eight Weeks to Optimum Health

In this expanded and updated edition of a book originally published in 1988, America's most brilliant and respected doctor gives us his famous program for improving and maintaining health. Focusing all of Andrew Weil's expertise on enhancing health and well-being, Eight Weeks to Optimum Health offers a practical week-by-week, step-by-step plan that covers everything from diet and exercise to stress management, daily routines, and environmental factors. And it shows how his program can be tailored to the specific needs of pregnant women, senior citizens, overweight people, and those at risk for cancer, among others. Dr. Weil has added the most up-to-date findings on such vital subjects as cholesterol, antioxidants, trans fats, toxic residues in the food supply (including how to avoid them), soy products (including which ones are best and how to incorporate them into your diet), vitamins and supplements (including their daily dosages for optimum health), and much more.
