Why I publish Healthy Tricks
 I'm Vera Tweed.
I believe that science should be
put to use, in the supermarket aisle, in
your home, and in the time you have to
relax, even if it's only a few minutes each
day.
Healthy Tricks makes the connection between today's
scientific discoveries and simple, practical ways
you can use these day to day - and enjoy the process without
turning your life upside down or seeing a supersized reflection in the mirror.
It is possible to be healthy
and
enjoy life now and later.
You could even make more money -- really.
What I Do
I've been a health journalist since 1994. I'm a
contributing editor to America's oldest health magazine,
Let's Live, write regularly for Get Active,
and was the editor in chief of another national health
magazine, GreatLife. I've also written for a few
dozen other magazines, including the Saturday Evening
Post, and edited countless how-to books. As an
author, my most recent book is the User's Guide to
Carnitine (a nutrient that energizes the heart,
brain and muscles and can help to prevent and treat many
health conditions).
Before I started writing
about how to stay healthy, dance and other forms of
exercise, as well as and nutrition, were hobbies of mine ever since I
was about 15 years old. That was long before "wellness"
and "healthy lifestyle" became popular buzz words.
The
Problem and the Solution
Despite our fascination
with health and never ending increases in healthcare
costs,
the incidence of obesity, diabetes and other
lifestyle-related conditions is skyrocketing. The fact
is, you're the only person who can keep you in decent
shape. And the good news is, you can do it!
I'm fortunate because my
profession enables me to continually pick the brains of scientists,
forward-thinking physicians, nutritionists, chefs
and fitness trainers about how scientific knowledge
can be translated into practical things you can do every day to
live in good health. In Healthy Tricks, I'm turning reams of
information into simple tidbits you can incorporate into
a busy schedule.
You can have your
cake, if you know how, and my aim is to make that
process easier for you - and more enjoyable. The fun
factor is really
important because if you don't like doing something, you
won't do it.
