Vitality Supreme

by Bernarr Macfadden

the cover photo which is messed up here, is reproduced perfectly on the book. By far the best and most useful of Macfadden's numerous publications, this book, originally published in 1915, covers exercises in detail for developing vitality (physical well-being and energy). It also presents some excellent information about a healthful diet, correct breathing, fresh air, preserving the teeth, curing constipation, blood purification, bathing, clothing, sleep, etc. It covers a wide range of health subjects. The author, Bernarr Macfadden (1868-1955), was America's first "health guru" and definitely ahead of his time. This book presents many of his theories in a clear and readable format. The style of writing is dated, but his message is clear - his enthusiasm is obvious in just about every word. The photographs are numerous and excellent.

I hadn't read the Kindle version but rather the original hardbound edition. It's a very good book though some of the information is out of date particularly in regards to the care of the teeth. While most information is good I would recommend sticking to the ADA recommendations. Also his praise of milk & dairy products is out of date. Though his praise of Vegetarianism is accurate. His points on exercise & physical activity are on point though. I highly recommend this book for all people & for most people following the information in this book will be far better than what they're already doing.

Surprisingly THE BEST book about health, exercise and wellness I have ever read. I am very glad that after years spent on my kindle I have decided to give it a try. More notes and highlights done, already put into action.
