In my house I have somewhere around 800 + books.  At my office I have about another 100 books.  In storage I think I have close to another 100 books.  I LOVE to read.  Reading has been one of my greatest teachers.  I would say that about 80% of the books I own are related to health, wellness, and nutrition.  About 10% of the books in my library are devoted to communication, self improvement, and psychology.  5% of the books cover the areas of history and education.  The remaining 5% of my books are biographies or non-fiction books. 

I thought I would share with my readers my current Top 7 Books.  All of these books (except for one) are related to diet, health, and wellness.  This is my list, I hope that you’ll share your list with me.

6. Womens’ Bodies/Women’s Wisdom – by, Christiane Northrup, M.D.

1. The 7 Steps To Amazing Health! – by, Dr. Wendy Schauer, D.C., R.K.C.

Hello. I’m very excited to share this with everyone who reads my blog. Recently, Joannna Daneman, one of the Top 8 Amazon dot com book reviewers took the time to review my book, The 7 Steps To Amazing Health! Here is what she had to say:

Like a Vitamin Capsule for your Entire Well-Being

Dr. Wendy Schauer has encapsulated some excellent health advice in a book that will probably change your life. We can attest to the value the advice Dr. Schauer has to offer. This book has it all in a very digestible form, with ideas for health that are easy to incorporate into the American lifestyle.

A lot of what “ails” Americans is what goes in their mouths. We have a good story on this; when we lived outside the US for a few years, we noticed the quality of the food (most of what we got was bought from local organic markets, there was no fast food and we ate local meats, cheeses and home prepared foods.) What we ate really had an effect on our health and more so, our mood. One of us was sensitive to wheat and one of us had allergies to various fruits and grains like buckwheat. We started paying attention to what went into our mouths. A naturopath was our normal physician and he guided us medically – this was something that was not out of the ordinary where we lived in Europe. We used herbal medicines for colds and mild illnesses.

Then we returned to the US. What a change in only a few years; fast food abounded. Healthy food was hard to find. Store-bought produce was overgrown, underripe and tasted–odd. We then took great pains to find organic produce (a local co-op and farm stand), to get raw milk (a local farm) and good meat (an Amish butcher who uses no hormones and grass-raises the beef.) After a tough return to the US diet, we found a way to improve how we ate.

We take supplements and eat simply. Our health went from bad to better. It would seem as you get older, you really have to pay attention to what you absorb. The body just doesn’t repair itself as fast or as well. Meanwhile, we looked around at our local fellow citizens and marveled at how fat people have become and we don’t blame it all on TV and video games. It’s just too easy to find fast food and too much of a struggle, with a busy schedule, to cook healthy grains and vegetables and to get that required exercise.

But it’s vital.

Nothing in Dr. Schauer’s book will make you crazy or look crazy to your friends. These are easy changes. You can adopt them one by one. Just let Dr. Schauer take you by the “virtual” hand and I promise you, these suggestions will really work.

We absolutely can attest that the information Dr. Schauer offers will change your life.

If you get just one book on changing your health habits, this one will serve you well. I found more than a hundred good pieces of advice here, simple things you can do that really work. I recommend you read and follow Dr. Schauer if you want to improve the quality of your life.
