Chicken Soup for the Soul: Say Hello to a Better Body Review

 I've often asked my mom how women hit 40 and come out in better health at 50. We laugh about it, but really! I want to know! Then Chicken Soup for Soul's Weight Loss and Fitness for Women Over 50 arrived and I discovered some wonderful and practical tips on weight management and fitness. Okay, so they're in a book for women over 50 (which is not me), however, good advice is good advice.

Unlike other Chicken Soup for the Soul books, this book is a collaboration of an author, Dr. Suzanne Koven of Harvard Medical School, that has knowledge on the subject, who shares easy-to-implement tips to stay healthy. I enjoyed it and am working on implementing some of the advice. The book tackles menopause, creaky joins, busy life, and all the other obstacles that interfere with the quest for weight control and fitness. In addition, there are adviced-filled stories from women over 50 who have figured out how to get fit. I figure if I start now, I'll be ready when I hit 50.

After 15 years of bringing real people and their stories together to touch the lives of others, Chicken Soup for the Soul® has gone beyond the bookstore to become a world leader in life improvement. Chicken Soup for the Soul is home to the largest catalog of user-generated, life-changing stories. Through books, movies, DVDs, online resources and other partnerships it brings hope, courage, inspiration and love to hundreds of millions of people around the world. Chicken Soup for the Soul authors and readers belong to a one-of-a-kind global community that shares advice, support, guidance, comfort, and knowledge.
