Body Book

What an amazing book! So inspiring in every way! I read it through with great delight and couldn’t wait to learn more. It was a huge pleasure to learn directly from Cameron Diaz about her personal experience and enthusiasm about her found awareness and enjoyment in helping her body to be as healthy and strong as possible and wanting to share this found consciousness with others. I always thought of her as someone fun to watch in a movie, but had no particular opinion about her asides her being quite fit for her age. I must say that I really have to admire her now for this book. The information we get in The Body Book is very to the point and useful to all of us, in particular women, in these modern times when everything is made effortless and accessible. This present easiness in life was aimed at giving us more free time in our busy lives. However, the newly found free time, which before was used in time consuming tasks like washing clothes by hand and hanging them outside to dry, preparing food from scratch, rubbing floors, etc. – I thank technology for the washing and dry machines and the vacuum cleaner - this free time is now often used to simply lay on the couch with a pack of chips or sit in front of the TV with ready-made food or take-away which we eat mindlessly at the end of the day. Frequently, we believe we are giving ourselves a reward after a stressful day, when we decide to take that take-away from the Chinese or the big portion of fries and snacks from the snack-bar close to home. However, we are actually not rewarding but harming our bodies! Cameron manages together with her team to make it clear to us women, in an easy way to read, why we should take responsibility for our body and what we do with it. All that we eat and how active we are throughout our life has a consequence to our body and how we feel. To be aware of this is the very starting point to make it your own goal to take control over what you ingest everyday and how much you move. After all, we have not changed much as human beings in the last few thousand years, but we still eat the same amount, or more, than when we had to exert ourselves to get food and survive from day to day. This book wants you to wake up and get the control of your body health back into your own hands. Just do it!

Hartstikke leuk en inspirerend boek. Geen dieet maar gewoon duidelijke uitleg welke voedingsstoffen je lichaam nodig heeft en waarom en waar je die uit kan halen. Ik vond gezonde keuzes maken altijd moeilijk en greep snel naar een snack, maar ben nu oprecht totaal anders gaan denken (wat ik vooraf niet had verwacht). Daarnaast ook leuk, grappig en confronterend geschreven. Top!

It was such a pleasure reading this book!!! Whether you know a lot about body nutrition and sports, or you are just a beginner to healthy lifestyle - this book is a must have for every woman! It is easy to read, it is funny, it explains most complex processes (such as digestion and hormones) in most simple and accessible way! There are many historical references to how our bodies used to work centuries ago. Cameron explains the whole thing in a very interesting way, talks from experience and is not afraid of talking about most intimate and private stuff. Book is split into 3 parts: all about your nutrition, all about movement, and how your mind and body are connected! I know a lot about about healthy life style and even I found some amazing tips! Definitely purchase this for yourself, or for your mom / sister / girlfriend because even in months and years after reading it, it will still come in handy here and there! Have fun with it!

cameron komt verrassend uit de hoek met haar Body Boek! Ze overloopt verschillende thema's op een verstaanbare en duidelijke manier. Het boek werkt inspirerend en legt je geen grote verwachtingen op zoals met andere body-boeken! Ze geeft je een nieuwe manier van denken en omgaan met je lichaam en geest. Een nieuwe, leuke manier om bij te leren over jezelf en je lichaam! Ik ben fan!

Ik vind dit boek erg leuk geschreven! Het boek gaat globaal langs alle body-onderwerpen en geeft praktische tips (bijv. over voeding en beweging) die je meteen uit kunt voeren. Leuk om naast het informatieve stuk ook een (klein) inkijkje te krijgen in de lifestyle van Cameron.

Soms wat simplistisch voorgesteld maar goede tips
