Dear friends, I suggest not to lose heart in the last week of summer, but to spend it with health benefits, with a good book in hand. Feel free to choose from my dozen must read! These are the most interesting, in my opinion, books, which at one time inspired me to change. I think they will set you up to change something in your life and the lives of your loved ones. The main topics are: what can we do to live longer and more active; how to wean yourself and children from sweets; how to meet the “third age” in a sound mind and healthy body. Lots of practical tips!
