Description
A large body of evidence demonstrates that strong health over an extended period of life is possible. Dr. Dwight Chapin brings this science to life in Take Good Care with a behind-the-scenes look at seven specific wellness rituals practiced by 21 influential Canadians - accomplished leaders in sport, media, entertainment, healthcare, and business.
Awe-inspiring professionals such as Jann Arden and Dragons' Den investor, Jim Treliving open their lives, sharing their formulas for health and success. Chapin explores the fine details and common ground in their approach to self-care, commitment to stress resiliency, preparation and recovery from peak performance, and pursuit of good health, hope, and happiness.
Look inside the fridge of Toronto Raptor's dietitian...at the mental fitness exercises of an Olympic sprinter... at the movement strategies of a world-renowned performance physiologist. Read about how they've overcome the challenges of heartbreak, injury, obesity, addiction, and self-sabotage by putting the science of the 7 Wellness Rituals to work.
The disruption caused by the pandemic has left many realizing they want more from life and the return to the status quo holds little appeal. People want to feel, look, think, move, and be better. The techniques, rituals, stories, and science within these pages will show you how.
