Feel better, healthier, and more relaxed...with the audio
companion to the #1 Bestseller You: Staying Young
Nothing is more fundamental to living than breathing. But just because you've been doing it all your life doesn't mean you can't do it better. Breathing well is also central to meditation, relaxation and other practices that slow down the aging process and feel great while you're doing it. Expanding on the life-extending program introduced in YOU: Staying Young, Drs. Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz bring you an audio program designed to help you enjoy all the physical, mental and spiritual benefits that come from truly breathing easy.
On Disc One, Drs. Roizen and Oz tell you how to focus on breathing to make it work for you. You'll learn how your breathing apparatus works, and how the breath of life moves through your body and affects your well-being. You'll explore the science of stress and discover how to identify stressors and reduce their effects. You'll also learn how to improve the significant part of your life you spend sleeping, and why it's so important to your overall health picture.
Disc Two is devoted to tools and practices that will enhance your breathing, help you relax, and de-stress your life. In this remarkable series of exercises and meditations, the Docs and their frequent collaborator and co-host Lisa Oz introduce you to powerful techniques you'll use again and again, including:
We'll also help you open the YOU Toolbox for insights into medical tests, vitamins and supplements and other information vital to the rich, vibrant life of breathing easy.
Whether you're just learning how to meditate or refining your technique, breathing and meditation are among your most powerful tools for repairing your body and fighting the effects of aging. Make healthy breathing a habit for life with YOU: Breathing Easy.
The vast majority of this is something that could be summed up in a short article. I get the feeling that the ones who are really breathing easier are the doctors and Mrs. Oz. They've made a truck load of money retelling what is already common information. The authors also nicely set up a "deal" with a company so that readers could get an extensive blood work analysis. They assured readers that most insurance would not cover this extensive battery of tests since they would cost around $3,500. Geez, maybe they don't cover it because it is not necessary?? The company will only charge $1,500 not to mention the extra special deal for the first 50 at about $1,000! Be assured, however, that Oz and company are not connected with the blood work company. Oh, Oz and friends also suggest a memory foam mattress that they acknowledge will cost at least $2,500. No mention of not having some stock in that company. So for a mere $4,000 and some extra for the doctor's visit I will need to have someone explain the test results I should be breathing easier--except when I'm worrying about the debt incurred and hyperventilating about that.
Throughout, the authors tell you that you can download PDF files with additional information. I never heard them tell where, however. Perhaps, they did and I missed it. The voices were so bad I just could not bring myself to listen again. This stuff was incredibly mundane and the voices...well, enough said on that.
Thankfully, I got this from the library, so I don't feel ripped off. And, Lisa's 10 or 15 minutes are very relaxing--not work buying this, but worth borrowing from the library.
