We get a lot of health information these days. But what about the validity of that information? What should we do and not do to be healthy?
Caulfield takes on the task to find out what is really true and what is not true in health information. Much of what he tells us in this book is eye-opening.
Here's one example: It is hard to lose weight. You can't lose weight by just exercising; you must eat less food. And when you eat less food, your body metabolism slows. Making it harder to lose weight.
We know this, don't we? At our core, we know these things are true, but somehow we keep hoping for another answer, an easier answer.
Caulfield tells it like it is. Read this book. It will help us all be healthier.
