Help Your Man Get Healthy:: An Essential Guide For Every Caring Woman

By Maria K. Regan and Steven Jonas

First of all, men need help. Too many men are out of shape, overweight, hooked on tobacco or alcohol, stressed out, or any combination of these conditions--and they don't like to think about it, talk about it, or do anything about it. For many, the first wake-up call comes with the first heart attack. You have the power to intercede before a crisis arises. Because his good health is your concern, and worrying and nagging won't make it happen, this book provides the positive tips, tactics, and loving techniques you need to help your man stay happy while he's getting healthy. Recognizing that a woman who wants to encourage healthy living has to walk a fine line between educating and harassing, Help Your Man Get Healthy will tell you how to:

Motivate change with positive messages

Create a kitchen filled with healthy temptations

Make fun and fitness a partnership game

Help him kick butts for love

Show him how to soothe away stress

Find healthy alternatives to excessive use of alcohol

Convince him that medical screenings save lives

Prove that good health means good sex

Build a strong relationship for better health and much more

Notable for its practicality - and it works!

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago

The topic, I'm sure, is on the minds of many married couples. Kassberg and Jonas define a collaborative approach to toughening up the oafish husband - softened by marriage and the attendant collapse of physical self-discipline - that's as effective as it is commonsensical. Real-life examples are particularly instructive, and the benefits of the approach become evident within days, not weeks, as the reader "gets on the same team" as the target partner in the battle against sloth, weakness and ill-health. Easy-to-read, well-researched, and original, this book is the right answer to the age-old question, "What the hell happened to the guy I married - and what can I do about it?" Buy this one today.

An enjoyable (and healthy) read for men too!

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago

As a man, I read "Help Your Man" with not just a little bit of skepticism (we don't need any help!) but was I ever surprised! "Help Your Man" provides clear and understandable synopses of relevant and common health related matters which can be prevented or improved by simple changes of behavior. It is all coupled with simple, common sense (but not obvious) suggestions on how to help your man (or yourself!) change those unhealthy behaviors. Besides all that, it reads quite nicely!It's like a one-stop-shop for such information. I will be sure to keep it handy!

A truly informative and practical guide!

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago

This book provides tons of valuable information and then gives hundreds of realistic suggestions that have already had a great impact on the health of my spouse and our relationship. Whether you want to help your man drink less (alcohol), smoke less tobacco, eat less saturated fat, or just get a little more exercise, this book will give you so many great (and often subtle) suggestions that he won't even realize he's getting healthier! I highly recommend it.

A must on your summer reading list!

Refreshingly straighforward! A MUST!

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago

Regan's book is fabulous - I enjoyed it so much, I bought copies for my mom and my sister. This is straighforward, honest, and informative. I appreciated that it was written by a real woman to be read by normal people - not something turned out by a celebrity. Do yourself a favor and buy this book!
