Book Description

We all want to live a healthy lifestyle, but just what does it take to get there? Joe Boone, in his work as a coach, has met many people who think that being healthy is as simple as losing a few pounds or cutting out sugar for a few months. But a healthy lifestyle is much more than a simple change in a workout routine or short-term diet. Being healthy is a way of life. In Healthy Body, Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Boone leads readers through the concepts and actions that translate into a healthy lifestyle with permanent results.Healthy Body, Healthy Mind, Healthy Life takes a three-pronged approach to a healthy lifestyle, covering nutrition, exercise, and mindset, and showing how each is interconnected and plays its own important role in overall health. Unlike most diet or exercise books, Healthy Body, Healthy Mind, Healthy Life doesn't just tell you what to do, the book explains the why behind its practices. Boone's writing dives deep into the science of nutrition and exercise, using thorough research and a comprehensive understanding of human physiology to explain, in laymen's terms, what exactly is going on in your body and how diet and exercise affect your health and even performance. The book covers all aspects of nutrition, from what role nutrients play in the workings of the body to how the foods you eat improve your performance in your daily life to include some of the most common supplements. From there Boone moves into the realm of physical activity, providing a scientific basis for the benefits of exercise and outlining the basic types of exercises with their proper forms. Boone understands that putting into practice the nutrition and exercise techniques recommended in the book takes motivation and dedication, which is where the "healthy mind" comes into play. Health Body, Healthy Mind, Healthy Life includes chapters focused on how you perceive the world and building motivation internally, giving you the tools necessary to integrate healthy eating and exercise habits into your daily life.There is no shortcut to great health or performance, but Healthy Body, Healthy Mind, Healthy Life gives you the knowledge and tools you need to make lifestyle changes that will provide long-lasting benefits.
