A comprehensive guide to physical and mental health and well-being, Health for Life distills a wealth of traditional Tibetan health practices and teachings into a manual of preventive health care for people of all ages, cultures, and constitutional types. Providing clear explanations of the principles and methods handed down by Tibetan teachers and doctors, Robert Sachs presents guidelines on nutrition, exercise, relaxation, rejuvenation, detoxification, meditation and spiritual practices, as well as other activities for creating strength, vitality, and mental clarity.
Readers may determine their own need by taking the "self-profile" test to discover their individual physical/personality type according to the Tibetan system. Following Tibetan tradition, Sachs keys dietary and lifestyle recommendations to the different personal types identified in Tibetan practice.
Anyone concerned with preventive health care understands that it is up to the individual to take responsibility for practicing a healthy lifestyle. Sachs's systematic approach and the helpful charts, diagrams, and drawings make this manual easy to use. He leaves us little excuse to put off taking the simple steps that will start us on the path toward realizing our full potential for health and well-being.
