add more life to your years

Ewa Doctor: The Redox Plan. 2023. Ewa Doctor

« Add to reduce » says in the cover of the book and it itrigues me. 

I think that during the years, but not any longer for a number of years, I have read a few bookshelfmeters of self-help and yet, here we re again.

But, there is a story behind of reading this book as one night a week or two ago, I was outside watering my plants and I came across to a beautiful woman with her friend asking for a way to the village square. Well, it turned out that the beautiful woman in her flowy dress was the author herself, Ewa Doctor, and the next day she paid a visit and gave this book to me. 

On the cover it also says that the Redox Plan is a "common-sense approach to add more life to your years" and 

in Conclusion she adds that focusing on what to add (one or more of the tools she presents in her book) to your life to create a healthier lifestyle, you are able to add life to your years and years to your life. 

Nicely put, but reading this book, believe her. 

 
First of all, by the Redox Plan, shortly, is Ewa Doctor´s philosophy of filling up the spaces in your body and your life with beneficial ingredients i.e. adding something in one area of your life, 

this automatically leads to simultaneous reduction of something else, i.e. good leads to reduce for "not-so-good" choises. 

The tools she covers entail hormesis, quality (vs quantity), contrats, plant, healthy fats, mushrooms, deep breathing and the sigh, poise, movement, dry brushing, touch, outdoors, awe, sleep, tears, trust, gratitude.

So, it is not about you practicing your ashtanga in the morning an hour and a half, then running a length of a marathon and maybe enjoy a glass of water and an almond for your nutrition and then meditate for the rest of the day, no, not at all. This is a reasonable, usable concept that really makes sense.

And of the book: Ewa Doctor writes well, the chapters are short enough to take all that information and actually feel you can benefit from it all and incorporate it to your life. 

She writes of experience and she has her own voice in the text which I liked a lot. She invites you to gain more of better life, to reduce your maybe not so good habits and still not feel deprived or starving of the things you enjoy and like having in your daily life and makes it sound doable for you like she has done it, too and made her life better. 

Now, I have read this book for a couple of times, and I found a lot of wisdom in this book. 

Not only that it has a lot of information on how to take care of your physical aspects in your life, but also, and even more importantly the emotional aspects and there is also grace in there. You do no need to be strict about it ar change all at once andd that is great. 

And Doctor knows what she talks, she has the education (also a lot of links in the book to dig deeper), the experience (over 30 years) and she gives out a sense she really wants to help and give. 

thank you for this book Ewa Doctor!
