Control Your Lifestyle, Learn How to Be a Retro-Survivalist.

We all want to eat healthier foods and live a healthy lifestyle. But, today, the big food conglomerates are inserting chemicals into what they produce that are designed more for their profit margins and less for our health.

There are so many simple things we can do to make ourselves more aware of what is in our foods and at least understand the real choices available to us.

Here is a book that provides a collection of things the health conscious person can do to take back control of their Foods, Lifestyle and Health while saving money at the same time.

There is no magic to eating healthier and at the same time cheaper.

The simple facts to aid the shopper in making smart food choices and doing so at lower prices are presented in this book.

And, for those who want to go even further and regain even more control over their lives and overall health, this book is an invaluable reference tool of things you can do.

The title itself indicates what the authors's desires were when writing this book.

Over the years, people have given up much of their control of; theirs and their family's health and allowed a variety of so-called experts; Doctors, Pharmacies, Insurance companies and even the most insidious of all, the conglomerates that produce and process our food.s

What so many of us have forgotten, and sad to say, some never knew, is the fact that for centuries our forebears were treating many of their simpler illness' and managing their food contents in a more natural and safer way.

They knew then that certain Herbs, Plants and Foods contained natural chemicals that were good for treating so many typical ailments people suffer from.

Today, we have evolved to using pills and chemicals that are manufactured (and modified with other even more dangerous chemicals) for the convenience of major corporations profit goals and not necessarily for the good of the customer's health.

Well, a Retro-Survivalist is someone who decides that it's time to resurrect and re-evaluate these once proven and effective natural remedies from the past and use the ones that fit our lifestyle.

With this book, you can quickly find and select the tips and aids that suit you and what you want to manage when purchasing your foods and for treating your overall health.

Read and you can learn how to utilize supermarkets for the best savings on the healthiest products and avoid their traps and tricks to draw the shopper into purchasing items they don't really need.

You can learn how to read the labels on packaged foods and recognize the ingredients that are bad for your health so that you can make intelligent choices.

You can learn how to buy certain items when they are cheap and store them for use later when they are really needed, while ignoring other supposed "great deals" that are of no use to you.

With the information in this book you can see many options that are easy for the average person to use and select the steps to take that suit your present lifestyle, as you move at your own pace towards the new and healthier natural lifestyle you desire.

So that you understand what is available in this book, I have extracted the Table of Contents to provide a better overview of its contents than anything else that I can say, so here it is:

This book is actually the combination of two sections. Book-1 is called "Taking Control", while Book-2 is called "Your Health and Home Tips". the names themselves are self-explanatory about the contents of each section.

Also, sad to say, you will find that the book is a little costly. This is due, not to the writers desire for enormous profits, but rather because the publisher, CreateSpace, has a high price for printing a book in color.

The authors decision to have this book published in color was driven by the desire to provide high quality color pictures of certain plants and insects that are described in the book, for the readers convenience.

Because the information provided is so varied and in cases even unique, the chapters are pretty much stand-along sections of information that can be quickly and easily found and referenced by the reader.

Of course, as you can see by the table of contents, the contents of this book are valuable and useful for people who want to take control of so many different facets of their lifestyle and health.

But, please understand that no book can be all-inclusive and provide every detail on every subject listed. The information provided is concise and accurate to the best of the Author's knowledge. If the reader desires to utilize what is presented, they will often need to do a little more research, on their own, to collect even more details on the subject presented.

Our advice is;

• Use the book,
• Understand the situation described,
• Decide on whether it will work for you, and at some point,
• Research on the web for even more details that will help in the implementation of what the Reader wants to do.

Even if you are content with your lifestyle, as it is, reading this book is a must for anyone curious about the subjects presented.

Use them and become a Retro-Survivalist, either in small steps, or be Gung-Ho and make your plans to head "to the Edge of the Grid".
