CHICAGO (MMD Newswire) July 12, 2010 -- Mind Your Own Wellness: Turning Thoughts Into Reality by Alex Ong is a guide to adopting a healthy lifestyle to combat stress, pain, obesity, overeating and dieting. Denis Waitley, Ph.D., author of The Psychology of Winning, explains Mind Your Own Wellness as "a healthy banquet filled with specific actions that are facts, not fads."
Ong, a former overweight food advertising executive, draws from his own experience transforming from an stressed out and unhealthy "fatty" to one which motivational speaker Kurek Ashley calls the "Bruce Lee of wellness" to bring readers a guide to self-control.
Ong cites two major turning points in his road to becoming a natural health author. He recalls the first turning point to be his initial meeting with his future mother-in-law. His future mother-in-law ordered him to get a cholesterol test, and the results of this blood test set Ong on the quest for a healthy lifestyle. After years of trial and error, Ong developed a simple and fun formula to total lifestyle change that reduced his high cholesterol, junk food addiction, weight and chronic pain. The second turning point was the sudden loss of his father to a massive heart attack. This loss inspired Ong to turn his notes from years of yo-yo dieting into Mind Your Own Wellness in an effort to help others live their healthiest and longest lives, not only for themselves, but for their loved ones too.
Mind Your Own Wellness seeks to bring awareness to everyday things that could be blocking the way to health and wellness. Ong breaks down the good and the bad of popular foods and drinks in "The 14 Common Things to Minimize." He also shares his "5 Color Belts' Eating Formula" - a step-by-step guide to losing weight, reducing stress and quitting bad eating habits. Mind Your Own Wellness is organized with bullet points and concise paragraphs in an effort to help readers retain information quickly.
Ong explains, "Mind Your Own Wellness is about a lifestyle change, not a diet." He aims to educate readers about stress management and learn to make positive and healthy choices to eliminate tension. Samantha Gilbert, certified holistic nutrition practitioner, states, "In a very unique way, Alex Ong has created an effective and yet simple to follow eating program. Packed with tips, research and insights, this book is the perfect bridge to your path to wellness."
Mind Your Own Wellness is available online at Amazon.com and other channels.
