Synopsis

The underlying promise of every exciting medical discovery, diet, and exercise program is the same: do this, buy this, or eat this and you will look better, live longer, and be healthier. But few books can make the promise of this one: if you adapt these five simple, virtually-free suggestions you will live a longer and healthier life, guaranteed.

This is no fad study. Each of the recommendations outlined in this book has been proven by an overwhelming number of tests, trials, and studies to increase health and lifespan. There are no gimmicks, no catches, no ifs, ands, or buts.

Presented by a trusted expert, Dr. Sanjiv Chopra's The Big Five includes easily digestible data and startling results from real studies conducted by reputable universities and involving thousands of subjects. Listeners to The Big Five can see for themselves that, without a doubt, these five simple actions offer many more proven benefits than the latest expensive supplements, fad diets, jazzy exercise programs, and state-of-the-art gym equipment.

This actually started as a case study to control diseases in Warsaw, Poland in 1822. The Science led to an understanding that Dr. Sanjiv Chopra put in his book for the modern living fitness world.

Goodreads review by Lilia on September 22, 2018

Très agréable à lire dans sa forme. Sanjiv Chopra, rien de moins que le frère du célèbre Deepak Chopra, a des choses à partager. Des cinq éléments qu'il énumère, sur lesquels il a jeté son dévolu pour en faire le titre de son livre, ce qui m'a le plus étonné a été le café. Les autres éléments étant......more

Goodreads review by Kristen on October 12, 2017

I listened to the audiobook. I liked the narrator, and the information in the book was valuable. However, it wasn't the most interesting title I've ever listened to. "Coffee is good for you!

I really liked how Sanjiv backed up all these claims with scientific evidence. Have a small list of 5 things you can do (many, first thing in the morning before you get on with your day) that are scientifically proven to help you live a longer, healthier life. I've experienced the benefits of some o......more
