I get a flyer from the library every couple months and this was a book featured. Gene Stone wrote this book about 25 different people's secrets to not getting sick. Some people were bizarre, including the guy who takes a cold shower every day (no way!). The other oddity was the person who dips his head in hydrogen peroxide (again, no way). But there were some good ideas, such as meditation, taking Vitamin C, and daily napping (I wish I could get my boss to agree to that).
Another set of stories was about those who have good genes. There are people who live in blue zones: Loma Linda, CA, Nicova, Costa Rica, Barbagia, Sardinia, Icaria, Greece, and Okinaqa, Japan. These people have the highest proportion of people who live longer, healthier lives.
Definitely a good read.
