With our fast-paced lives, it is no wonder more than 50 per cent of North Americans are
overweight or obese, and there are record numbers of diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, and
cancer. It is time to find a better way to live. Ace Your Health, written by a registered nutritional
consulting practitioner, takes a huge topic and boils it down to simple, small shifts
that you can easily integrate into your daily routine. This clever book uses the fact that there
are 52 weeks in the year and 52 cards in a deck. This book helps you “play your cards right” by making one simple play per week, and walks you through a year towards improved overall health. Each “card” lays out a concise, accessible explanation of why you want to make this shift and what background information you need. It follows up with a real-life assignment on how to apply this new knowledge and ends with an easy, tasty recipe. While the spades, hearts, and clubs sections focus on food and eating habits, the diamonds section offers advice on sleeping better, reducing stress and anxiety, stretching,
and many other aspects that will help round out a new healthier (and happier) lifestyle.
