From one of Americaâs leading doctors, an authoritative, practical, and entertaining guide to living a full and healthy life.
Everyone wants to live a full and healthy lifeâand every day brings a tidal wave of attention-grabbing misinformation, faddish ideas from âwellnessâ influencers, and bizarre advice from news outlets over-extrapolating the results of tiny, outlier studies. The âWellness Industrial Complexâ prescribes conflicting and complicated regimens while promising us more time to enjoy in the futureâthough it sure is demanding a lot of time right now. But what actually matters most to our health and longevity? What has the most robust, actionable evidence? Whatâs the junk you can skip?
In Eat Your Ice Cream, renowned physician Ezekiel J. Emanuel argues that life is not a competition to live the longest and that âwellnessâ shouldnât be difficult; it should be an invisible part of oneâs lifestyle that yields maximum health benefits with the least work. Dr. Emanuel cuts through the noise with wit and good humor, giving readers just what they need: simple, high-impact, evidence-based guidelines on such issues as alcohol consumption, food and nutrition, exercise, sleep, mental acuity, and social engagement. Resisting the tide of the latest trends to extend life at all costs, Eat Your Ice Cream reveals that many of the tools for a long, healthy and meaningful life are already within reach.
Pairing common sense with uncommon wisdom based on his decades of expertise and experience, Dr. Emanuel helps us consider which lifestyle changes are worth making and how to most easily implement them for longer, healthier, and happier lives. Readers will come away with greater clarity and a deeper understanding of what really matters for well-beingâconnection, purpose, and sustainable choices backed by rigorous science.
