Book Reviews of Organic Living
Book Review: Excellent introduction to why you should consider organic living
Summary: 5 Stars
I became interested in organic living when my husband was diagnosed with kidney cancer. Once I was told that this cancer was most probably the result of exposure to some toxin, organic living became the goal at our house. I have been collecting books on organic living ever since. This is one of the first books that I found. This book focuses on helping the readers to make smart and safe choices in every aspect of everyday life. The topics are food, health, beauty products, clothing and home design and decoration.
The book is subdivided as follows:
1. Introduction
2. The Natural Environment
3. We are What We Eat
4. From the Inside Out
5. The Organic Home
6. The Organic Garden
The book is written by a naturopath and osteopath based in England. He has a very informative website that will give you an understanding of his believes and attitudes toward health. (http://www.michaelvanstraten.com)
The section on nutrition is especially good. I like the fact that he gives different advice based on the age of the individual. If you have been studying nutrition, you will find that his nutrition advice coincides with conventional wisdom.
The organic gardening section is helpful, but you will probably need to supplement with more information depending on the scale of your gardening.
Overall, I found this book to be very enlightening and well written. If you are looking for a book that is a comprehensive introduction to why you should be considering moving toward organic living this is a good book to pick up.
