AJ Jacobs decided to conduct an experiment: to lead an exceptionally healthy lifestyle. How he managed to endure this, he tells in his book.
The editor of the popular men’s magazine, AJ Jacobs, decided to become the healthiest person in the world, and for this he started a large-scale two-year experiment with his body. He began to try various diets, supplements, sports exercises and other types of physical activity – the most effective and healthy of those available to modern medicine. He tried to protect his hearing and improve his eyesight, learned to sleep without snoring and resolved issues of his own safety at home and on the street. And in general, he really became healthier than before. He lost weight, got stronger, and his lipid profile, which showed a noticeable decrease in fat, turned out to be “so good that the heart can not stand it.” But I also understood something else: a life in which health care turned out to be a priority can hardly be called harmonious. Actually, for the sake of mental health, the author abandoned the round-the-clock healthy lifestyle. What new good habits did he love and keep for himself? You will learn about this from the incredibly witty book of the 40-year-old American journalist and father of the Jacobs family.
