And yet &#8212; he&#8217;s right about so much.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve already added a number of his suggestions to the daily tasks on my to-do list.  (If you see me on early morning walks, doing deep breathing while staring at a tree, you&#8217;ll know why.). And he&#8217;s certainly changed my shopping list for this week.  If there&#8217;s a shortage of beetroot juice or Pink Lady apples in your local supermarket, blame him.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was happy to see that I already do a lot of the things that he suggests, though at least now I know why.  Like many of you, I stand on one leg while brushing my teeth, alternating legs every 30 seconds.  I mean, most people do that, right?  Apparently, that helps avoid falls which is a good thing as we get older.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And singing aloud &#8212; in my case, very loud &#8212; in the shower is also a good thing.  I don&#8217;t remember why, but if it improves my health, of course I&#8217;ll do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a very short book, disguised as a much bigger one.  Very short chapters, two pages announcing the chapter title and another full page with a quote from the (very short) chapter.  I&#8217;m not complaining; I like short books.  And this is one that can be read in a couple of hours, so why not?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Michael Mosley&#8217;s latest best-seller (or soon-to-be bestseller) is one of a number of new books that promise massive improvements in your life &#8212; if you just do one tiny little thing.
