Health and Fitness Audio Books For A Better Life

Some people strive for longevity, while others want ‘quality life,’ be it long or not. What’s unmistakable is that health-consciousness has increased significantly among millions of people who want to lead full lives.

People on the go rarely have time to lie back and read books on health issues. They’d rather hit the gym or explore the outdoors. They have calories to burn, and reading, which is usually enjoyed with something to nibble, doesn’t help.

You can’t do both at the same time: it’s hard to read a book while on the treadmill, for instance. But why not use your iPod to ‘read’ a book? Or let’s put it another way: Why not ‘listen’ to a book?

Several audio book titles on health and lifestyle topics are now available for downloading from online vendors like The Talking Book Store. Now you can jog around the park while absorbing expert advice on healthy living.

One of the interesting audio books you may download is Dr. Eric Plasker’s ‘The 100-Year Lifestyle.’ Only a few people will reach the century mark and some are not even sure if they want to live to be 100, suffering from all sorts of aches and ailments.

But here’s Dr. Plasker’s guarantee for his bestselling wellness system: ‘Your centennial is within reach with Dr. Plasker’s ideas and methods for diet, nutrition, exercise, mental agility, creativity, finances, friends and family, work, community, and achieving a sense of purpose.’

Plasker is a graduate of Life Chiropractic College and former owner of two highly successful family practices. He is the founder of the Council on Family Wellness for the World Chiropractic Alliance.

Those who wary of big pharmaceutical firms may check out what ‘A Guide to Alternative Medicine’ has to offer. Truly, what we call alternative medicine was actually mainstream before big drug firms introduced mass-produced chemical cures.

Alternative medicine has made a comeback as more and more people suffer from illnesses that drugs can’t seem to cure or even complicate. It also rides on the philosophy that ‘health isn’t mere absence of disease.’ Health is revealed by a person’s enthusiasm for life.

There are dozens more health and lifestyle titles to listen to, including the famous Atkin’s diet, and most of them come with free e-book files for reference. So start downloading health audio books and stay in the pink.
