Book excerpt: Emily’s Book of Health Without Drugs In your letters I see a continuing concern for maintaining good health without a lot of prescription drugs and doctor visits. And, I have been asked, over and over, what natural remedies are available for relieving pain. This book offers me the opportunity to share some ways to better health that you may not be familiar with. I hope to encourage each of you to be more aware of your body and how it works. Many of us grew up hearing words like these every day: “Clean up your plate or no dessert.” “You can have a cookie if you’re good.” We now know that when food is used as a reward, it can lead to poor eating habits. How many times do we use food to soothe frazzled nerves, calm fears, or relieve tension? Too much of this and we are overweight! This volume is not a diet book, but it IS a book about diet, because good eating habits are of value for much more than weight control. We have tens of thousands of cells in our bodies, all dependent on what we put into our mouths. Good health requires us to eat a balanced diet, drink plenty of water, and reduce the amount of caffeine, fat, nicotine, and overly processed foods we eat. It is also important, now and then, to slow down a bit and relax. We all need to take time to enjoy a bit of laughter and appreciate those around us who make life worth living. This brings needed balance to our lives.
