Congratulations Amanda and Kristin!
Prime-Time Health is written by Dr. William Sears with his wife Martha Sear, RN as co-author. Dr. Sears, who trained at Harvard Medical School’s Childrens’ Hospital is an associate clinical professor at the University of California, Irvine, School of Medicine. He and his wife have 8 children.
In 1997, at the age of 57, Dr. Sears was diagnosed with colon cancer and underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. During his recovery and journey back to health, he began studying testimonies of people who have survived major illnesses and become healthier, as well as, centenarians’ (people who live to be a hundred or more) lives and health habits. From these studies, Prime-Time Health was written. Dr. Sears and his wife have been practicing these suggestions now for many years and the result is the enjoyment of better health.
I found this book to be one of the most practical and well-balanced health books I have read. Dr.Sears focuses on a well-balanced lifestyle involving good nutrition, regular exercise, plenty of satisfying sleep and a healthy mental attitude. Much of the book is devoted to the how’s and why’s of the lifestyle changes which are encouraged.
I was encouraged because we already do many of the recommended nutritional changes. We eat very few processed foods (home grown, homemade foods are less expensive), fried foods or sugar items. He does recommend for those needing a major change in their eating habits a healthy smoothie to be used to sip on, instead of breakfast, lunch, and two snacks. While I am sure the smoothie is nutritious, for our family, this is not a practical suggestion. Meal times are important family time for us. Since I have arthritis and am in the middle of a flair-up, I will try a modified smoothie using our homemade kefir, protein powder, juices, and cinnamon, as a mid-morning snack.
This illustrates a point Dr. Sears makes which I really appreciate: “The program that is for you is the one you will do. It is okay to pick and choose. Do as many steps as you can. Make it fit you.”
Although I will not implement each and every suggestion found in Prime-Time Health, it did encourage me to continue the healthy habits we do have, as well as, add others. Dr. Sears does an excellent job of balancing healthy habits with practical living. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in improving their health or just looking for reinforcement of healthy habits already in place.

We are eating more fruits and vegetables at meals and for snacks. drinking more water everyday. We take the grandkids to the park for a picnic instead of going to a fast food place. I need to get back to taking a daily walk when the weather warms up.

i have been dancing with my one year old daughter, usually for about 15 minutes to put her to sleep–that alone is helping me get some decent exercise each day
