Cover courtesy of Penguin-Random House.
Over the last quarter century, science has proved three things conclusively: that smoking and high-fat diets cause most heart disease; and that various poorly-placed lifestyle choices contribute significantly to cancer. In this interesting an important book, Cohen and Jefferies introduce readers to the “Mix of Six,” a platform built on fostering social and emotional support systems; managing stress; improving sleep/exercise/diet regimens; and mitigating exposure to environmental toxins. The authors assert that following these guidelines can not only increase the quality of day-to-day life, but also, delay/prevent the onset of myriad cancers. Anti-Cancer Living is notable not only for its message, but also for the way it’s conveyed – the material immediately accessible, presented in an almost conversational tone that creates an element of trust between writer and audience. Read by Mark Deakins. Running time: 13.5 hours on 11 CDS. Sample the narration here.
