Synopsis

Your body is by God. God preprogrammed you to look great, have outrageous health, and experience incredible happiness. In the human body, God created a perfect design, equipped with all the organs, tissues, and cells necessary for health, production, and reproduction. The problem, asserts Dr. Ben Lerner, is when we as humans interfere with God's design for our bodies. Junk food, high-stress living, and neglecting exercise are just a few of the things we do to hinder our bodies' performance.In Body by God, Dr. Lerner offers a comprehensive plan for getting in touch with our bodies in four areas: nutrition, exercise, stress management, and time management. His "5-in-5" plan is designed to instill the good habits that will lead to optimum health benefits. Readers will learn how to get in shape with 10-minute workouts, reprogram the way they react to stress, and more. "Owner's Manual Tips" give specific ways to apply the material to real life. Our bodies are "fearfully and wonderfully made." With the help of Body by God, readers will learn how to achieve the highest level of performance from God's handiwork.Images, diagrams, and forms are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Goodreads review by Doris on November 04, 2007

I really liked the simple approach with which Dr. Lerner, who is a chiropractor, wrote this book. It is filled with lots of "DOs" rather than "DON'Ts". Loved that. I like simple lists. This is where I learned about eating more of my carbs earlier in the day as I expend energy throughout. Then, in the......more

Goodreads review by J on January 05, 2024

The book has solid, non-gimmicky advice on diet and exercise. The religious context is weak. For example: “Anything that comes from God makes scientific sense.” Huh? Miracles don’t make scientific sense. The misogyny and queerphobia that is so common among fundamentalists doesn’t make scientific or s......more

This is the best health book I've read in a while & I love how it brings everything back to scripture.
