Looking for a way to health? Here are 101

MARLBORO, NJ (November 26, 2007) – Joseph Cilea likes to think of health as a bank account.

"Either you're making deposits or withdrawals," said the Marlboro chiropractor. "A deposit would be exercising, proper food choices. A withdrawal would be smoking, drinking too much alcohol.

"We should make more deposits than withdrawals in our lifetime," says Cilea, 38. "There are no shortcuts in health."

There may be no shortcuts, but Cilea and self-help guru David Riklan, 46, also of Marlboro, say they hope to make the prospect of balancing your health checkbook less daunting with their book, "101 Great Ways to Improve Your Health."

The 416-page paperback is a compilation of articles by 101 authors, ranging from physicians to fitness instructors, nurses to nutritionists, osteopaths to optometrists. Riklan said he and Cilea collected and edited the essays through contacts from Riklan's SelfGrowth Web site.

In one chapter, nutritional therapist Alia Almoayed discusses the benefits of "going organic" to avoid toxic chemicals that increase the risk of disease. In another, corporate psychologist Donna Goldstein touts the benefits of reserving a "Golden Hour" after waking to review goals, read an inspirational passage or meditate.

"In general people might not consider meditation a direct health-related approach, but it's a way to relieve any kind of stress, and removing stress in your life can reduce the risk of heart attack and impact your digestive system," Cilea said. "It can help you improve your health and many other areas of your life."

Other chapters are devoted to varied subject matter including the hidden dangers of mercury toxicity, how to look for aneurism warning signs, and the rewards of the Chinese breathing and movement exercise Qigong.

Some of the recommendations are admittedly unorthodox, Riklan said, like Lisa Jobs' promotion of the use of stevia. The Food and Drug Administration approved the herb as a dietary supplement, not as a sweetener or food additive. Jobs is the author of a cookbook of stevia recipes.

"My general philosophy is there really is no best approach to improve your life or to improve your health," said Riklan about the mishmash of topics. "What we found is there are many approaches out there, in exercise, in diet. Our goal was to find 101 people who are experts, to provide options for people to identify the best approach for them."

Riklan published the book, in the making for the past year and released in September, through his Marlboro-based boutique publishing house, Self Improvement Online. He also has written three volumes dubbed "101 Great Ways to Improve Your Life."

"101 Great Ways to Improve Your Health" is available at Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com.
