Perfect Mind/Body Guide for Health

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Deepak Chopra's Perfect Health is the original guide to applying the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, the 5,000-year-old medical system from ancient India, to everyday life. This classic guide has been revised with updated medical research and provides a complete step-by-step program of mind-body medicine tailored to individual needs. Translated as "the knowledge of life span" in Sanskrit, Ayurveda has been validated by modern breakthroughs in physics and medicine.

Although our bodies may appear solid, they are in fact more like fires that are constantly being consumed and renewed. We grow new stomach linings every five days, and our skin is new every five weeks. Each year, 98 percent of the total number of atoms in our bodies is replaced. Ayurveda gives us the tools to intervene at this quantum level, where we are being created anew each day.

Ayurveda tells us that freedom from sickness depends on contacting our own awareness, bringing it into balance, and then extending that balance to the body. A quiz in the book identifies the reader's mind-body type: thin, restless Vata; enterprising, efficient Pitta; tranquil, steady Kapha; or any combination of these three. This body type becomes the basis for a specific Ayurvedic program of diet, stress reduction, neuromuscular integration, exercise, and daily routines.

The result is a total plan, tailored for each individual, to reestablish the body's essential balance with nature, to strengthen the mind-body connection, and to use the power of quantum healing to transcend the ordinary limitations of disease and aging—in short, for achieving Perfect Health.

By applying the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, as presented in this revised and updated guide, readers can take control of their own health and well-being. Through the personalized programs outlined in the book, individuals can harness the healing power of the mind and body to achieve optimal physical, mental, and spiritual balance. With Deepak Chopra's guidance, readers can unlock the secrets of Ayurveda and embark on a transformative journey towards Perfect Health.
