The best health books of 2019 are ready for your reading list
Despite your best intentions, sometimes taking care of your health gets pushed to the bottom of your to-do list. It's not that you don't care (I mean, who really wants to get sick?); it's just life gets in the way, making it tricky to find the balance between eating right, thinking well, and exercising enough while still having fun. Sometimes you need a subtle push via a new lifestyle philosophy that not only fits in with your routine but also brings your body, mind, and spirit back into alignment.
1. Beyond the Pill, by Jolene Brighten, ND (January 29)
Tons of women are fed up with detrimental side effects of synthetic birth control, like decreased sex drive, depression, anxiety, and weight gain (just to name a few). For those who decide to ditch the pill and seek other forms of contraception, women’s hormone expert Jolene Brighten, ND, is here to help navigate what’s next. There are lots of things women can do to make the post-pill time (which can bring about hormone imbalances and irregular periods) less daunting, and Dr. Brighten outlines them in the book via a 30-day plan.
2. Stress Less, Accomplish More: Meditation for Extraordinary Performance, by Emily Fletcher (February 19)
Haven’t you heard? Meditation is the new coffee—at least according to Ziva Meditation founder, Emily Fletcher, who happily notes that neuroscientists are finally catching up with the meditation benefits that gurus have sworn by forever. Learn about Fletcher’s method—a combo of mindfulness, meditation, and manifestation—which busy celebs, like Jenna Dewan, swear by. The book also includes research about the negative effects stress can have on the brain and body.
4. Recipes For Your Perfectly Imperfect Life, by Kimberly Snyder (February 19)
Hold onto your Glowing Green Smoothie: celebrity nutritionist and Well+Good Council member Kimberly Snyder has a new book, and it’s all about making healthy eating more practical and accessible. Snyder breaks down how she stopped chasing perfection when it comes to food—and life in general—and how you can approach wellness and health in the same way. Expect more than 100 new plant-based recipes from Snyder, plus tips on beauty, healing, and happiness.
5. Outer Order, Inner Calm, by Gretchen Rubin (March 5)
ave on your overall health and happiness. The latest book from the best-selling author of The Happiness Project, though, isn’t so much a “how-to” organizational guide as it is a roadmap of how to identify a decluttering method to help you feel more in control of your space (and therefore, your life). Her approach? There’s no single way to do anything. Rather, the right way is the one you actually do. If the KonMari Method doesn’t exactly spark joy for you, give Rubin’s approachable, flexible route a shot.
