The secret of vigor

The Secret of Vigor: How to Overcome Burnout, Restore Metabolic Balance, and Reclaim Your Natural Energy is a proven and powerful, cutting-edge, 7-day program that can counter the effects of chronic stress to help people: 1. restore balance in the body; 2. improve mental/physical energy; 3. reduce fatigue; 4. alleviate depression; 5. sharpen mental focus; 6. lose weight; 7. manage their risk of diabetes, cancer and heart disease. Millions of North Americans complain of feeling tired, stressed, or depressed. Their daily routine is hectic and stressful, they suffer from constant fatigue, rarely sleep well, continue to gain weight, and at least occasionally are moody. In short, they are lacking in something that psychology researchers call "Vigor." Vigor is defined as "a 3-tiered sustained mood state characterized by physical energy, mental acuity, and emotional well-being." Vigor is a true measure of wellness because it encompasses much more than simply feeling energetic or being in a good mood or having a sharp mind. People with high levels of vigor are those can-do individuals who get things done. They're motivated. For many people, however, vigor is a state that they have not experienced in many years. What most of us understand as "aging" -- wrinkling skin, thinning hair, spreading waistlines, diminished sex drive and decreasing mood and energy levels -- is in fact basically a progressive fall in our Vigor. The Secret of Vigor: How to Overcome Burnout, Restore Metabolic Balance, and Reclaim Your Natural Energy contains a "Vigor Self-Test" for testing the reader's level of vigor, and Talbott also suggests easy tips everyone can do to counteract stress such as "leave the cellphone behind" or "get a pet," among others. Perhaps most important is Talbott's 7-Day Vigor Improvement Program (VIP) where he challenges readers to put their new knowledge to the test through his SENSE approach: Stress management, exercise, nutrition, supplements, and evaluation. - Publisher.
