Faith-Building Your Body With ‘The Seven Pillars Of Health’,
While God most certainly played a role in my nearly 200-pound weight loss on the Atkins diet in 2004, you are not necessarily required to be a Christian in order for the diet (or ANY diet!) to work. I’ve been asked questions like “Do you have to be religious to do your diet?” by well-meaning members of the secular media when I bring up the role of my faith in my journey towards better health.
The short answer is “no,” but it certainly helps to have the power of the Almighty Creator on your side for those times when you need His divine strength to carry you through the valleys that most certainly come when you try to lose weight. If you’ve ever gone through a weight loss experience without support, then you know exactly how hard it can be. You need a friend that sticks closer than a brother to be there for you when you need Him the most.
What if you could invest a mere 10-15 minutes a day for less than two months of you life and learn practical Biblical advice about improving your health? Would you be interested in learning more about it? If you are a Christian or desire to do something positive and productive about your weight and health, then of course you would.
That’s precisely why prolific Christian author Dr. Don Colbert wrote his bestselling book entitled The Seven Pillars Of Health: The Natural Way To Better Health For Life. This 50-day all-inclusive health manual will empower you with tons of information that can be absorbed and immediately applied into your life to bring about big changes in a short period of time. This could be the miracle you have been praying for.
Dr. Colbert is well-known as the premier “health doctor” within Christian circles. I remember selling many of his other 30-something titles when I was working in Christian bookstores in the mid-to-late 1990s. He is highly-regarded for making complex medical conditions and treatments understandable to the common person as you will quickly find out when you read this book.
The Seven Pillars Of Health are as follows:
1. WATER
2. SLEEP AND REST
3. LIVING FOOD
4. EXERCISE
5. DETOXIFICATION
6. NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS
7. COPING WITH STRESS
This book reads like a daily devotional journal providing you with a few power-packed pages at a time to soak in the message Dr. Colbert wants to share with you. Each chapter (or “pillar”) takes about a week to go through, so you are able to meditate and fully concentrate on one concept at a time. I enjoyed this format because the lessons you learned the first day were then reinforced on the next and the next to complement your health education. More books need to be written this way!
There’s some real eye-opening content in this book that you are just gonna have to read to believe. If I didn’t already drink upwards of 1-2 gallons of water a day already, then you bet your sweet bippy I’d be guzzling it like it was going out of style after reading the water chapter. I don’t think people have any idea just how crucial fresh water is to their health. I’ll drink to that!
At the end of each day’s journal, you get a nice little wrap-up of the major points in that section with Dr. Colbert’s “Building Blocks To A Healthy Life.” Consider it your Cliff’s Notes version of the content you just read and the take home message he doesn’t want you to forget. There’s the “Points To Ponder” as well as the practical application under the “Action Step” that allow you to begin using the information in your own life right away.
Another eye-catching feature of this book is the “Dr. Colbert Approved” or “Dr. Colbert Recommended” check marks with straight-up advice for people to follow directly from the good doctor himself. For people who need direction that slaps them in the face, these frequent helpful hints lay it all out clearly and easily for everyone to see. Additionally, there are also extra boxes with essential information to lead you by the hand to making The Seven Pillars Of Health your new way of life.
Although this book isn’t as blatantly against the Atkins low-carb diet as other “Bible-based” health programs are, Dr. Colbert does get in a few comments that had me raising my eyebrows just a bit. For example, in the SLEEP AND REST chapter, he mentions low-carb diets as a reason why you can’t get a good night’s sleep because they allegedly “create a low-blood-sugar reaction, causing you to awaken in the middle of the night.”
Um, what in the world are you talking about, Dr. Colbert? I’ve been eating this way for three years and the only thing that wakes me up in the middle of the night is the porcelain goddess and that beautiful snoring creature on the other side of my bed! Sure, some low-carbers MAY experience hypoglycemic reactions at some point when they are livin’ la vida low-carb, but don’t paint us all with a broad brush and…

|Great Information,
I enjoyed the book and got lots of great information that I’m implementing. However some of the recomendations were expensive and some products were only available in the USA or from his website (vitamins etc.). It actually seemed like he was pushing his vitamins, powders etc. I got too confused about the vitamins and found his charts hard to understand, so I’m sticking to the ones that are available to me from my local health food store even though the doses are far from his formula.
The book would have been more beneficial if he suggested over the counter products and items we could buy readily from either a local health food store or grocery department. As an example the bottled water he recomends… nowhere to be found in my neck of the woods and they havn’t even heard ot it. A little more research on his part and a little more get down to earth with the regular folk and he’d have a winner.
Should you buy it? Sure… it’s helpful. But a word of caution, you may not be able to apply all his recommendations.

|The Seven Pillars of Health,
Having been in the field of health for almost 40 years, and having teethed on Dr. Walker’s books in the ’60′s, I can truthfully say this is the most comprehensive, easy to read (and understand) book on ‘helping yourself to health’ that I have read in years. The only drawback is financial: if you buy yourself a copy (and read it), you will find yourself buying copies for everyone in your family who is living away from home!

|Best health Magazine I Have found,
I have subscribed to various magazines for years, and paid pretty prices too, but this modestly priced magazine is one of my favorites. It really has a variety of articles, fact based, no nonsense. I love the exercise part, I teach the yoga type exercises to my satff at work. This puts “self” to shame. Check it out for yourself . I give it as a christmas gift to my friends.

|Worth a read,
In general many health magazines seem to focus on glamour and make you wonder what’s wrong with you since you can’t be a size 2, work out for 3 hours a day, balance a job, family and whatever else life throws your way. The magazine comes with several articles a month that focus on looking good, exercise plans, diet tips, stress relief, and a few that promote good mental health. I like this because its low key and sensible. This magazine isn’t set out to change your life, but enhance what you have and show you a few new ideas.

|Have to agree with “Vapid” …,
I received two free trial issues in order to give the magazine a chance before subscribing. Boy, am I glad I didn’t subscribe! The magazine is nothing but fluff – good only for people who mostly want to flip through and look at pictures – not for people who actually want informed articles and reports on health.
