Summary:
A pioneering, pragmatic guide to preventative health and behavioral modification by celebrated Emmy- and Lasker Award-winning science journalist Earl Ubell (former Science Editor for the New York Herald Tribune and NBC News). In "How to Save Your Life," Ubell translates clinical psychological research and medical data into actionable everyday habits. Rather than advocating extreme diets or fads, the book focuses on breaking harmful conditioning and establishing sustainable routines around cardiovascular wellness, stress reduction, diet, exercise, smoking cessation, alcohol intake, and work-life balance.
