Pretty Happy: Healthy Ways To Love Your Body by Kate Hudson

Pretty Happy: Healthy Ways To Love Your Body by Kate Hudson, 235 pages

Kate Hudson is such a beautiful person, I could not help but want to read what her beauty and health secrets were.  She bases her life on her drawing board which gives her inspiration.  What I like about this book is she has questionnaires you complete to determine what body type you are and at what exercise level you are at.  Kate's rules are simple and easy to follow. She writes a good book on having both a healthy mind and body and that is why she is "Pretty Happy."   The book did have some great lists on what foods are good to eat and what foods are bad to eat.

Living the Good Long Life by Martha Stewart

Living the Good Long Life by Martha Stewart, 400 pages

Martha Stewart writes this very practical guide on growing older and making smart choices.  She did have help writing this book.  She opened the Martha Stewart Center for Living at Mount Sinai Hospital in 2007.  Doctors from Mount Sinai assisted her with writing some of the medical portion of this book. I have read many of Martha's books and usually enjoy the colorful pictures in her books.  This book came up a little short in my opinion on colorful pictures. She begins this book with many tips for healthy eating and exercise, and tips for stimulating the brain.  She also gives tips for being prepared to care for yourself later in life.  In the future, I will stick to Martha's craft and recipe books and her magazine.
