LONGEVITY Healing and Health for the 21st Century

About the Book

Drawn from 23 years of experience as a practitioner of acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, the author offers a comprehensive examination about i) the impact of nutrition, exercise and spirituality on our health and our ability to heal, ii) various elements that can make and break the relationship between a man and a woman, iii) the power of positive attitude in our quest for a healthier, longer and happier life in a stressful, confusing and competitive society. In addition to a wide variety of helpful information about a healthy lifestyle, the author also provides guidance on how to resolve such contemporary issues as stress, anxiety and tensions in the family, workplace and other environments where we connect with our spouse, friends and peers. What gives this book particular appeal, however, is the author’s unique style of juxtaposing the wisdom of ancient Chinese healers with the empirical findings from modern medical research, and integrating them into a thought-provoking analysis of how physical, emotional and spiritual constituents can be brought together in harmony to bring about good health, longevity and happiness. While this book is intended for people of all age groups, the author is also mindful that, as we age, we are more likely to be plagued by complex health problems that are not always amenable to treatment by Western Medicine. For this reason, this book may be particularly helpful to the “baby boomers” as they prepare to journey into their exciting golden years.
