Patrick Holford puts forward simple suggestion on how to beat stress and fatigue. However all of them are long term solutions and not ‘quick’ fixes.
He explains that stress and fatigue are both symptoms of 21st century living. Therefore to change them requires changes in lifesytle to reduce the stress to both the mind and body. His suggestions include reducing stimulants such as smoking and coffee, improving the digestive system so it is more effective at getting energy from food, meditation and undertaking destressing exercise.
The book is full of common sense recommendations, most of which you already know and would implement if it wasn’t for … work … children … time. However the book provides the science and research behind the recommendations. So is it convincing enough? I think it is and I plan to implement many of the recommendations.
