What the Morning Never Suspected Imagine waking up every morning, for the rest of your life, knowing that you are sick. Imagine knowing that the good days will become fewer and further between. And the bad days will become more frequent. Imagine the fear, frustration, and hopelessness you would face. Imagine the impact on your family, friendships, your finances, and your future. That's chronic illness. A world in which we live longer, but poorer lives. It is the world that three out of four of us will inhabit for the last 20 or more years of our lives. Long years spent coping with heart disease, stroke, obesity, diabetes, arthritis, dementia and Alzheimer's, cancer, and depression. The irony is that it can all be prevented. Over 850 years ago, Maimonides (Rambam, as he is known in the Jewish world), wrote that by changing just three habits: "I guarantee anyone who conducts himself according to the directions we have laid down that he will not be afflicted with illness all the days of his life until he ages greatly and expires. He will not require a physician, and his body will be complete and remain healthy all his life." The intent of this Getting Started series is to provide you with the knowledge necessary to replace the three "bad" habits with three practices that will help you realize Rambam's guarantee-specifically, in the areas of: - Nutrition - Exercise - Meditation This small book, KosherHealth Nutrition, is the first in the three-part Getting Started series.
