Live Your Best Life

Explore the science behind your daily living habits and make your day healthier, happier, and more productive. Many of the daily activities we take for granted are in fact contrary to a healthy, happy lifestyle. In this ground-breaking book, long-held beliefs are exploded by new science: drinking eight glasses a day is too much; women aren't actually better at multitasking; that early-morning coffee could really be harming your health. In Life Your Best Life, Dr Stuart Farrimond casts a scientific eye on all aspects of a typical day in our lives. Should I brush my teeth before or after breakfast. How do I combat the post-lunch slump. What should I wear for a good night's sleep. I exercise every day, so why am I still overweight. All these questions and more are answered. Bringing to bear the latest research across a broad spectrum of disciplines - psychology, nutrition, biology, physics - Dr Stu unearths the facts behind the fads, and provides take-away advice on each area of everyday life, alongside engaging infographics and illustrations. The question and answer format brings an immediacy to the information, and informative infographics and illustrations bring the science to life in a contemporary, intelligent and accessible way. And everything is delivered in Dr Stu's trademark style; approachable, authoritative, and above all, entertaining. Live Your Best Life debunks pseudo-science and delivers the hard truth. One day - one body - over 200 examples of science in action.
