Sunshine is good for you! While too much sun causes wrinkles and raises other health concerns, a lack of sun exposure, our primary source of vitamin D can cause serious health problems, such as osteoporosis, certain cancers, and diabetes. Dr Holick, the discoverer of the active form of vitamin D, has pulled together an impressive body of evidence in support that no one should be -- as he puts it -- a sunphobe, or, for that matter, a sun worshipper. His conclusion: relatively brief, but unfettered exposure to sunshine and its equivalent can help to ward off a host of debilitating and sometimes deadly diseases, including osteoporosis, cancers of the colon, prostate and breast, hypertension, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and depression.

The DASH diet represents a major breakthrough in modern medical science. The simple but precise DASH diet formula dramatically lowers blood pressure and thus provides an effective treatment for one of the most common and deadly diseases in the western world, hypertension. It is just as effective as a typical drug for hypertension. And it works in young and old, male and female, and all ethnic groups In addition to significantly lowering blood pressure naturally and without drugs, the DASH diet is consistent with diets currently recommended to reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke and osteoporosis. It was also scientifically proven to improve the way a person feels. The unique feature of the DASH diet is that it is high in fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products (all typically underrepresented in the American diet), and also that it uses these foods in the right combinations. The book includes sections on how to follow the DASH diet to lose weight, on combining DASH with salt reduction for even greater blood pressure reduction, and on simple but effective "tricks" to get started and stick with the DASH diet.
