Renowned medical expert teaches the essentials of being highly healthy

The road to healthy living can be a bumpy one. Obstacles of stress and sinkholes of physical, spiritual, mental and relational problems may impede progress along the way. Struggling to move forward in a maze of confusing and contradictory information concerning these issues, how can one find the path to health and wholeness? In 10 Essentials of Highly Healthy People (Zondervan, January 2003), nationally acclaimed health care expert Walt Larimore, M.D., encourages regular inspection of the four wheels of health–body, mind, spirit and community.

10 Essentials of Highly Healthy People explores ten powerful elements that make up the spokes needed to keep all four wheels of health in alignment. Unlike professionals who stress only physical or emotional well being, Dr. Larimore speaks directly about the need to cultivate a true spirituality and a positive self-image within a caring community. With passion and expertise, he points the reader to the need for social support and personal empowerment and clarifies the complex issues of caring for the whole person. His heart warming personal stories of both healthy and unhealthy people, based on over two decades as a family physician, allow the reader to reflect on what is required to create a well-balanced vehicle for life. Health questionnaires, reflective exercises, thoughtful prescriptions and medical counsel provide the power to assess progress on the journey to a highly healthy lifestyle.
