Overview: Why Health Is More Important Than Ever

We live in an era of unparalleled invention and convenience. From the palm of our hands, we can text a friend, buy takeout, watch movies, and participate in online classes. The world is quick, interconnected, and ever-evolving. But even with all of this advancement, something is still off. A silent catastrophe is developing beneath the glare of screens and the bustle of hectic lives, particularly among the younger generation.

Compared to previous generations, today's youth are more sedentary, worried, and stressed. Fresh vegetables is more expensive than fast food. Studying, working, or late-night scrolling come at the expense of sleep. Additionally, a lot of teenagers and young adults experience fatigue, mental haze, or simply overwhelm. But here's a fact that's sometimes forgotten: your biggest value is your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It is the source of your power. And defending it doesn't have to entail eating kale at every meal or turning into a gym rat.

Perfection is not the focus of this book. It's about the relationship between your daily actions and your emotions, actions, and way of life. Giving you the resources to take charge of your health now, rather than tomorrow or in ten years, is the goal.
