"HEALTHY JINGLES FOR THE MIND
AND BODY" is a memorable and effective book.
"Books are fun and never grow old; Great books are worth their
weight in Gold."
How many book reviewers get to begin a review with a rhyming jingle?
This was my first and I have to admit it
was fun and addictive. What is a jingle? Webster's dictionary says,
"A jingle is a memorable slogan...An effective jingle is constructed
to stay in one's memory (colloquially, "Ringing a bell"). People
often nostalgically remember a jingle decades later..."
"HEALTHY JINGLES FOR THE MIND AND BODY" by Vernon A. Quarstein PhD
and Linda J. Dumanowski RN (ISBN-10: 1419641832) is a memorable and
effective book. This is a book that takes learning about your health
to another level. If college biology books were as entertaining as
"HEALTHY JINGLES FOR THE MIND AND BODY" I would have made straight
A's and stayed awake more in class.The author Vernon A. Quarstein
PhD, says "I personally wrote 99% if all jingles. They are not a
"collection" of jingles except some, but just in the first and
second chapters. The working jingles in all other chapters were
written personally by me on my computer. I became quite good at
writing them, and could do so after early self-training on my own in
a few minutes."
The idea and concept for a book like "HEALTHY JINGLES FOR THE MIND
AND BODY" is so simple it borders on literary and medical
genius. Here's a professional doctor
teaching us about serious subjects like heart disease and making it
lighthearted in an interesting and intelligent form. "HEALTHY
JINGLES" touches on everything from improving memory and sleeping
better to headaches and colds. Healthy jingles are also provided to
prevent and care for heart disease, strokes, cancer, diabetes, and
Alzheimer's diseases.
"HEALTHY JINGLES FOR THE MIND AND BODY" was written as a team as Dr.
Quarstein explains, "Linda and I worked well together ... she used
her hospital experiences to make the messages regarding self-help
meaningful. She also contributed by making suggestions as we moved
along...she was a guide on many subjects and issues."
Every jingle from this book will captivate all readers --
THE WELLNESS JINGLE: "The feeling of some improvement, That stems
from doing right things. By following the jingles advice, Much joy
to us wellness brings."
LEARN TO RELAX, SEEK HELP: "Learn to relax, practice meditation,
Exercise to reduce some of the stress, Seek help from a really close
friend, Try a professional if its still a mess."
"HEALTHY JINGLES FOR THE MIND AND BODY" is so much fun to read you
instantly envy the author because you know he was having a jolly and
festive time writing the book. "The book was indeed fun to write"
the author says, "once I was able to struggle through the first two
chapters. I used material from medical schools, medical clinics,
hospitals and other official sources for the information. These were
contained in medical or scientific publications for which I
subscribed and for which a gave full credit throughout the book.
Writing the book was a delight. I took about 7 months to complete
it."
" 'HEALTHY JINGLES FOR THE MIND AND BODY' is a book for every age --
Learning about health and having fun is taught on every page."

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Vernon A Quarstein PhD and Linda J. Dumanowski,
RN Book Title: Healthy Jingles for the Mind and Body. Content:
According to a New York Times best selling author, Ellen Tanner
Marsh, in Healthy Jingles for the Mind and Body, they (the
authors) have written numerous such jingles--some delightful,
all insightful--to accompany preventative and curative advice on
a myriad of medical difficulties. It is also a medical
discussion of various health issues mostly suffered by adults
and, unlike similar works by notables such as Andrew Weil and
Don Colbert, this innovative book boils complicated medical
discussion down into a fun bit of rhyme that is more easily
digested and retained. The variety of jingles is astonishing,
covering such conditions as heart disease, cancer, diabetes,
stroke, headache, anxiety and stress, even improving memory and
practicing safety on a bicycle.
Book Description:
HEALTHY JINGLES FOR THE MIND AND BODY
ISBN-10: 1419641832 This book advocates
the use of jingles as a means of expressing self-help guidelines
for fitness and health. Healthy jingles add a measure of fun in
the process of learning. To those to be or already stricken with
a disease, jingles express self-help advice from top nutritional
and medical schools and famous clinics and hospitals in the
United States. Jingle formats are much more interesting, easy to
learn, enjoyable to read, easily understood, retained longer,
and recalled quicker than narrative formats. In this book
healthy jingles are backed up by narrative explanations wherever
needed. They provide self-prevention advice on weight control,
exercising, dieting, bicycling and by developing good habits.
Jingle based information is provided for improving memory,
sleeping better, dispelling worries, anxieties, stress,
headaches, and colds. Healthy jingles are also provided to
prevent and care for heart disease, strokes, cancer, diabetes,
and Alzheimer's diseases.
