Aunque sentimos que nuestro cuerpo es algo sólido, en realidad se parece más a una llama que se consume y se reaviva continuamente.

Por ejemplo, las paredes del estómago se renuevan cada cinco días, y la piel cada cinco semanas.

Salud perfecta constituye un programa completo de salud integral que se ajusta a las necesidades individuales. Ayuda a restablecer el equilibrio básico entre el cuerpo y la naturaleza, fortalecer la conexión mente-cuerpo y superar las barreras comunes de la enfermedad y el envejecimiento.

Although we experience our bodies as solid, they are in fact more like fires that are constantly being consumed and renewed. We grow new stomach linings every five days, for instance. Our skin is new every five weeks.

Each year, fully 98 percent of the total number of atoms in our bodies is replaced.

Ayurveda gives us the tools to intervene at this quantum level, where we are being created anew each day.

Ayurveda tells us that freedom from sickness depends on contacting our own awareness, bringing it into balance, and then extending that balance to the body.

Perfect Health provides a complete step-by-step program of mind body medicine tailored to individual needs.

A quiz identifies the reader's mind body type: thin, restless Vata; enterprising, efficient Pitta; tranquil, steady Kapha; or any combination of these three. This body type becomes the basis for a specific Ayurvedic program of diet, stress reduction, neuromuscular integration, exercise, and daily routines. The result is a total plan, tailor-made for each individual, to reestablish the body's essential balance with nature; to strengthen the mind body connection; and to use the power of quantum healing to transcend the ordinary limitations of disease and aging--in short, for achieving Perfect Health.
Deepak Chopra (India, 1947) es autor de numerosos libros que han ayudado a millones de personas a comprenderse mejor y a vivir una vida más plena. Fundador del Centro Chopra, es el principal difusor de la filosofía oriental en el mundo occidental. Sus libros han aparecido en todas las listas de más vendidos de América. Entre sus bestsellers, que aparecen con regularidad en la lista de The New York Times, se encuentran Reinventa tu cuerpo, resucita tu alma y El libro de los secretos.
