Do you have to tell your leg to heal from a scrape? Your lungs to take in air? Your body that it's hungry? No. Your body dies these things automatically, effortlessly. Vibrant health is your birthright and within your grasp; you just have to step out of the way. In Effortless Healing, online health pioneer, natural medicine advocate and bestselling author Br Joseph Mercola reveals the nine simple secrets to a healthier, thinner you. The results are amazing and the steps can be as easy to implement as; * Throwing ice cubes in your water to make it more 'structured' * Skipping breakfast, as it could be making you fat * Eating up to 75 per cent of your calories each day in fat for optimal health, reduction of heart disease and cancer prevention * Avoiding certain meat and fish, but enjoy butter * Eating sauerkraut (and other fermented foods) to improve your immune system and your mood * Walking barefoot outside to decrease system-wide inflammation (and because it just feels great) * Enjoying a laugh: it's as good for your blood vessels as 15 minutes of exercise Effortless Healing is the distillation of decades of Dr Mercola's experience and cutting-edge medical knowledge. With his wisdom, and that of your body, you can optimize your health, your weight and your life ...effortlessly.
