The Body Book Audiobook Summary

Cameron Diaz shares her formula for becoming happier, healthier, and stronger in this positive, essential guide grounded in science and inspired by personal experience, a #1 New York Times bestseller.

Throughout her career, Cameron Diaz has been a role model for millions of women. By her own candid admission, though, this fit, glamorous, but down-to-earth star was not always health-conscious. Learning about the inseparable link between nutrition and the body was just one of the life-changing lessons that has fed Cameron’s hunger to educate herself about the best ways to feed, move, and care for her body. In The Body Book, she shares what she has learned and continues to discover about nutrition, exercise, and the mind/body connection.

Grounded in science and informed by real life, The Body Book offers a comprehensive overview of the human body and mind, from the cellular level up. From demystifying and debunking the hype around food groups to explaining the value of vitamins and minerals, readers will discover why it’s so important to embrace the instinct of hunger and to satisfy it with whole, nutrient-dense foods. Cameron also explains the essential role of movement, the importance of muscle and bone strength and why we need to sweat a little every day.

The Body Book does not set goals to reach in seven days or thirty days or a year. It offers a holistic, long-term approach to making consistent choices and reaching the ultimate goal: a long, strong, happy, healthy life.

I'm very impressed with Cameron Diaz now. This book is a great tool for someone 30+ because that's when we really start to look at the overall health of our bodies. We always hear what we should be eating, but we're not always clear on why. The Body Book breaks complicated issues down to a level everyone can understand - and learn from. It's chock full of great tips for feeling and looking your best. Cameron's humor adds a nice layer to this insightful book.Since I've read this book, I've started making some changes and I'm already feeling a difference in my body. My favorite tip from the book so far is drinking a liter of water first thing when I wake up. Cameron explained that as we sleep, obviously we lose water during all of our breathing during our 7-8 hour slumber. I feel so much more refreshed since I've been chugging my water in the morning. I know it sounds silly, but it's little things like this that can make a difference in the way we feel. I definitely recommend this book for anyone who is looking to improve their health - and just feel better all around.

This book was surprisingly well-written and informative. Cameron has a great writer's voice: confident, witty, and a little bit sassy. This book is part biology lesson (though related in a very engaging way), and part motivational speech on making healthy choices and focusing on your own individual strengths and talents in life. I enjoyed reading it.

She is really a wonderful smart girl, and "The Body Book" (The Body Book: Feed, Move, Understand and Love Your Amazing Body) took second place in the New York Times bestseller list in 2014. Which in itself is a sign of unthinkable success, and for a layman's book it's just an extravaganza.To be fair, Cameron Diaz co-wrote her motivational nonfiction with writer Sandra Bark. I would hardly be mistaken if I assumed that she was responsible for the literary part and bringing it to a readable form. Normally, examples of this kind of mutually beneficial cooperation: "gasoline is yours, our ideas" have been known and appreciated by the reading public for many years.And in any case, when a respected nutritionist, yoga coach, sports instructor, therapist talks about how to make your body a brilliant tool, this is one thing. When a world-class celebrity who has managed to turn her own body into an instrument of success is quite another. And not only to soar to the top, thanks to capricious luck, youth, freshness, bright talent, but, more importantly, to stay on the crest for many years.And Cameron Diaz, since her successful debut in "Mask" with Jim Carrey, has been in the cage for almost thirty years. That, in a rapidly changing world, where a generation of figures has grown up over these three decades, there is an indicator of incredible longevity. Which would not have happened if this woman had not been able to handle her body.Умница Кэми ДиасБоль - это слабость, покидающая ваше тело.Она, вправду, замечательная умница, и "Книга о теле" (The Body Book: Feed, Move, Understand and Love Your Amazing Body) заняла в 2014 году второе место в списке бестселлеров по версии "Нью-Йорк Таймс". Что само по себе, знак немыслимого успеха, а для книги непрофессионала - просто феерия.Справедливости ради, Кэмерон Диас писала свой мотивирующий нонфик в соавторстве с писательницей Сандрой Барк. Вряд ли ошибусь, предположив, что за литературную часть и приведение к удобочитаемому виду отвечала именно она. Нормально, примеры такого рода взаимовыгодного сотрудничества: "бензин ваш, идеи наши" читающая публика знает и ценит многие годы.Да и в любом случае, когда о том, как сделать свое тело гениальным инструментом рассказывает достойный уважения диетолог, тренер по йоге, спортивный инструктор, терапевт - это одно. Когда знаменитость мирового класса, сумевшая превратить собственное тело в инструмент успеха - совсем другое. И не только взлететь к вершинам, благодаря капризной удаче, молодости, свежести, яркому таланту, но, что важнее - оставаться на гребне многие годы.А Кэмерон Диас, с момента ее успешного дебюта в "Маске" с Джимом Керри, в обойме почти тридцать лет. Что, в стремительно меняющемся мире, где за эти три десятка лет выросло поколение цифры, есть показатель невероятного долгожительства. Которого не случилось бы, не умей эта женщина обращаться со своим телом.Да, люди не равны изначально и да, ей достались от природы быстрый метаболизм и нелюбовь к сладкому, но новейшая история богатых и знаменитых знает массу примеров того, как самые совершенные тела приводились в негодность и обращались в хлам неумеренностью владельцев в желаниях, и стремлением потакать слабостям. Кэми не тот случай. А значит, она знает, что говорит. А значит - ее имеет смысл послушать.Итак, как устроена "Книга о теле". В бодром вступлении, адресованном женщинам, объясняется, что сподвигло написать эту книгу, для чего она и зачем (мужчина в качестве адресата изначально не рассматривался, и это еще один пример разумной оценки авторами предположительной целевой аудитории)."Питание. Полюби свой голод", ожидаемо посвящена еде, а поговорка "Ты есть то, что ты ешь" неожиданно перестает восприниматься набившей оскомину банальностью. Просто, доступно, с использованием понятных примеров и компактно, авторы объясняют изменения в пищевом рационе современного человека буквально за последние сто лет эры изобилия и как это отразилось на нашем здоровье.Что такое белки, жиры, углеводы, аминокислоты, витамины. В чем содержатся, каким образом лучше всего сочетаются. Почему важно пить много воды (именно простой воды, ни в коем случае не газированных напитков и даже не соков, которые считаются полезными). Польза завтрака и медленных углеводов, полинасыщенные и полиненасыщенные жиры, пенициллиновые коровы, реальная вредность фастфуда и неумеренного употребления сладкого.И обо всем этом не просто говорится, с той или иной степенью увлекательности, но предлагаются альтернативные варианты разумного решения из собственного опыта. Знаете, я вспомнила, как хорошо чувствовала себя в те два года, когда отказывалась от конфет, и вместо штук пяти, которые могла схомячить между делом, съела со вчерашнего дня одну. В том смысле, что полезная книга."Фитнес. Тело хочет быть сильным", вторая часть не только и не столько о физических упражнениях и необходимости активности (хотя как без того), сколько о том, как устроено и функционирует наше тело. Кожа, внутренние органы, скелет, мышцы, сухожилия и связки, мозг, гормональная, выделительная и мочеполовая системы. И о дерьме, да, и о нем тоже - что естественно, то не безобразно. Почему одно: режим, движение, много воды, здоровое сбалансированное питание, накачанные мышцы пресса, полезны для него, а другое: сидячий образ жизни, газировки и фастфуд, переедание, атренированность - вредно.Именно в связке: вот так это работает, мышечный корсет, поддерживающий внутренние органы и позвоночник на животе, вместо бурдюка висцерального жира, который кутает внутренние органы и затрудняет их функции - мышцы полезнее жира не потому, что так красивее и в целом отвлеченно здоровее, а потому, что без него тело прослужит дольше, будет работать бесперебойно и не потребует сложного дорогостоящего ремонта.Третья, мотивирующая часть "Сознание", главным образом расширяет, углубляет и закрепляет сказанное в первых, а также предлагает множество нетривиальных решений, которые работают у Кэмерон, сработают и у вас. Хорошая книга, от души рекомендую.

I think Cameron Diaz is one of the most beautiful people on the planet. She is pretty, funny, obviously smart, talented, and sporty and I love her movies. But this book is beyond looks, this book is a treasure, it's very well written, full of important information and insight, I want to translate it to Arabic to share with my fellow people the great information I read here. I, like many others, am clueless when it comes to the body because of the many "opinions" I loved how straightforward Cameron was in the book. I read this book twice. I also got the audio version and it's wonderful, the reader sounds like Cameron and reads it with calmness and giddiness as well. The book talks about how diet is misunderstood, that our era enforces illness on us by adapting new methods instead of sticking to natural ways like eating well and moving and not just in the gym. I needed this book. It's very important.

It’s the first book about food/health/fitness that I ever read and I’m not disappointed. It really made wanna do more exercises. At the beginning of the year, I made myself have an exercise program. When I started the book - in the second day of January, I had 69 kg. Now, after 4 days of intense exercises, I have 67 kg. I gave up on bread, sugar and I started with 45 minutes of physical exercises, that turned to 55 today. Every day I keep pushing myself, because I want what’s the best for me. And this book opened my eyes even more. It made me decide that the best course of action is to be more involved in the decisions that I take regarding food and not letting my hunger or my cravings decide for me.

I think this would be an excellent book for someone who currently makes a lot of unhealthy choices and wants to turn their life around.

It would be easy to dismiss this one as another fluffy celebrity diet book but it's much more than that, it's a level-headed book about knowing yourself, doing your best with what you have and eating, moving and thinking in ways that make you better at living. This is a sensible, smart book written as if Cameron is your big sister offering advice. Not preachy, just sensible. I would love this to get into the hands of many young women who are struggling with self-image. It doesn't say that this weight or that weight is right, but that there is an ideal weight where you can do things with yourself and feel good and that's where you need to aim.Cameron Diaz admits to bad habits that she's working with changing, but that occasionally she does indulge herself but she knows that she can't do that all the time to herself and that we should follow suit. It's probably not for everyone but I found it had a lot of food for thought for me.

I have enjoyed this book very much, and I know I will go back to it as reference as I get started into a healthier lifestyle. As Cameron states early in the book, it is not a diet book, nor she claims to know it all. It's also not a portfolio of her photos. There may be around 12 photos of her altogether, including the cover and back. This is an informative book looking at a woman's body and mind in a holistic way. It is based on factual information and simplified with humor for simpletons like myself. I loved her casual tone throughout the chapters. I read this is something it has bothered other reviewers. Personally, I loved it. I felt as I was sharing information with a friend who knew more about the subject than I did. She provides further reading recommendations, and a reference list where one can look further for more "academic" information on different subjects. It's a book about loving yourself and taking care of the body you got. I think it's a positive book to encourage us, women, to understand our bodies better, to love ourselves, to enrich our lives, to see life in a better and happier manner without imposing some crazy Hollyweird ideas. Of course, she will talk about the non-GMO, the organic choices an all that. Well, some of those things are easier to access for some, and for others, the choices may be too expensive or not easy to find. Still, knowing what we're putting inside of us matters. Even if we can't all shop at Whole Foods, or whatnot, we can be more educated in knowing what options our budget allows us to select, and knowing there are healthier choices for us. I'm looking forward to her upcoming book "The Longevity Book: The Biology of Resilience, the Privilege of Time, and the New Science of Aging." Cameron Diaz is one of the few women in the spotlight who has chosen to age gracefully, and she seems down to Earth. As I reach myself the time to start making some choices on how to care for a maturing body, I can use a few tips here and there. Overall, money well spent.
