Book Review: Effortless Healing by Dr. Joseph Mercola



I have followed Dr. Joseph Mercola via e-mail for awhile and put a few of his health tips into place in my life. I wish I could have him, or someone, like him for a doctor. Since I don't see that happening soon, I found putting his plan into practice would be helpful for me. His new book, Effortless Healing, is a well-written, easy-to-follow manual for how to improve your health holistically. 

Effortless Healing has three sections. In part 1, Dr. Mercola explains what effortless healing is and how to best follow his plan for your optimum health. Part 2 includes 9 healing principles for helping you attain your optimum health:
Drink pure water,
Eat your veggies,
Using fat for fuel,
Exercise less and gain more benefits,
Enjoy the sun and get vitamin D,
Let your gut flourish,
Clean your brain with sleep,
Go barefoot and other ways to stay grounded, and
Avoid these 6 "health foods."
Part 3 offers advice on making the plan work best for you. 

Some of Dr. Mercola's principles offer advice that is counter to what you may have heard before. I like that Dr. Mercola backs all of his advice up with meticulously referenced end notes. He also puts this advice into words that are easy for any layperson to understand. This book was enjoyable to read and it is easy for me to follow as I try to make my own health changes. The first step is actually the most challenging for me right now as we live in a temporary apartment and it is hard for me to know how to do anything to make our water system better where we are. We are house shopping after a move so this won't last forever, but I would like to get started on the plan. I wish he had some advice for those in apartments or temporary situations. Otherwise, I found a lot of helpful advice in the book.

I would encourage anyone to read this book that is wanting to improve their health. 

I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.

  Loyally, Luke by Pepper Basham is the third book in the epistolary series following Authentically, Izzy and Positively, Penelope.I have been anxiously awaiting this book and pretty much squealed when it came in the mail! Luke Edgewood is a guy who works in the construction industry and has remodeling skills. He wears flannel and he likes his dogs and he likes his sisters--but he isn't romantic like they are. Or so he says.In Loyally, Luke, Luke goes to Skymar to work a construction job on a orphanage that happens to be in a castle. He also has a run-in with a Princess as he comes in to the country with a migraine in desparate need of coffee--so yeah, that didn't go so well. Later, he finds out that the Grace Kelly look-alike coffee snob is also his co-worker on the orphanage project.Thus begins his own adventure in Skymar, following Izzy and Penelope.  I really enjoyed Loyally, Luke . I enjoyed this whole series. I do think the series is best enjoyed read in order to truly a...

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for Love Overboard by Shannon Sue Dunlap, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours ! My Review: Four older women retire and live year-round on a cruise ship. Together, they are called The Shippers, and they are the matchmakers on the ship. Lacey Anderson is the ship's hostess and Jonathan King is the Cruise director of the ship. Lacey and Jonathan knew each other from another ship. Sparks fly but there are some complications that seem to be difficult to overcome--but The Shippers are a determined group of ladies. At the same time, there is a mystery of who is smuggling cocaine on the cruise line. Are they on this ship? Love Overboard offers a mix of romance, humor, and mystery to the reader. I enjoy older people so I especially liked The Shippers in this book. I also was rooting for Lacey and Jonathan. I enjoyed getting to know the ship crew as well as the other characters. There was a couple of twists near the end of the book that I didn't ...
