WELLNESS BOOKS TO INSTANTLY BOOST YOUR HEALTHY LIVING STRATEGY

I love to slip away, find a quiet spot and bury my nose (and my brain!) into a good book.  And, some of the books, being of the health-minded that I am, are, naturally . . . health-related.  I thought I would share some of my favorite wellness books (as well as some others on my list I want to read) that you may want to crack open and pour over to learn a lot, too.

The writers are the real deal – doctors, chefs, naturopaths, researchers, and more, and a few of these wellness books might even be considered healthy living classics. Come take a look and see which health book you may want to read first and keep on your shelf at home to refer to later!

Glad to hear it! They can be so inspiring! I hope you can flip through some of the ones I mentioned above. Thanks for coming by and adding in here!

I think we all need to start eating more whole and natural foods… there is nothing wrong with eating a little processed foods from time to time, the problem comes from eating it all the time. I would know as when I eat very healthy I feel so much better and when I don't I absolutely feel the effects xox … Some good knowledge here xox

Most of these books listed above, Launna, provide a lot of information on the enormous benefits of eating a whole foods diet and the recipes are so easy and delicious! I hope you get to try a few!
