註釋Abstract: Self-help, self-motivation, safety, and common sense are major emphases of this comprehensive guide to understanding and practicing a healthy lifestyle. A series of whole life programs stress the importance of holistic principles in obtaining fitness and a feeling of well-being. Whole life programs, developed for different sex and age groups, are based on some common goals related to diet, exercise, stress, smoking, and drinking. Each program also contains goals specific to a particular sex and age group in the categories of 1) emotional and mental health, 2) fitness and body care, 3) work, finance and family, 4) food and drink, and 5) health checks. Self-assessment quizzes that examine current fitness level, dietary practices, lifestyle, stress, coping abilities, and life expectancy are used to demonstrate areas that need the most attention. Accompanying the life programs is detailed background information of food and nutrition, weight control, physical fitness, sexuality, body care, and fitness during pregnancy and old age. Coping with stress is examined. Traditional and "alternative" health promotion programs are explored. Many tables, charts, graphs, and illustrations supplement the text material. The text is comprehensive, well-organized, and written in easily understood language. (aj).
