A Sound Mind in a Sound Body

Most people do not realize it but 75-85% of how long they live and how healthy they will be is under their control. But what is a healthy lifestyle? What factors actually correlate with living long and being healthy? What practical actions can we take to live longer and healthier? The answers to these and many other questions are found in A Sound Mind in a Sound Body: Live Long, Live Healthy by Dennis Kravetz.

Here are the key things you will learn in A Sound Mind in a Sound Body:

• Learn the four major areas that each impact how long you live
• Take a survey in each of the four areas to see how your lifestyle stacks up
• Learn—in practical terms—what goes on inside the body in each area
• Understand research proving what impacts how long you live
• Learn what day-to-day actions you can take to live longer and healthier

There are four sets of factors that impact how long and healthy your life will be. These four sets of factors are:

• Physical activity
• Mental (cognitive enrichment)
• Psychological (minimizing anxiety, stress and depression)
• Nutrition

While many people might guess that physical activity and nutrition impact how long you live, many are surprised at the other two major factors. A Sound Mind in a Sound Body is divided into four sections, each corresponding to one of the four factors affecting longevity and quality of life. Within each section you will learn about what goes on inside your body in that area, understand the practical research showing how this factor impacts the length of your life, and then learn pragmatic actions that you can implement immediately.

This book is written by Dennis Kravetz who is both a researcher and practitioner, a rare combination. Dennis constantly researches what does and does not correlate with how long you live and provides you with the latest information.
