The Wellness Letter
5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent newsletter, great for supplements and general wellness information, and the website is really useful too. Very good for diet and nutritional information.
UC Berkeley Wellness Letter was the first (in 1984) and is still the best health-related newsletter out there. There is a lot of health news circulating these days, and it seems like you can’t even turn on the TV without someone offering you either diet advice, or some health horror story or other. Their website is at http://www.wellnessletter.com
The newsletter helps you sort fact from fiction in a non-sensational way. There is always something of interest in every issue, and I got my first year’s subscription for $10. This newsletter is a bargain even at the full price of $28 per year, compared to some of the stuff being published out there!
When you subscribe to the newsletter, you also get in-depth access to the website. The site is packed full of free information, recipes, supplements, a health library, plus an archive of many of the past articles.
Even if you are not a subscriber, there is a ton of free content there on general health and wellness guidelines. I visit often and have still not read/downloaded everything I am interested in.
Best of all is the information on supplements and herbs. Is Vitamin E really any good for heart health. Should I be taking glucosamine and chondroitin for my arthritis. Or should I just save my money.
Let’s face it, these days we need to all worry about our health and saving money!
The site is for the general public, not health professionals, so you can you can use everything you read right away. If I were a doctor, I would definitely recommend this site to my patients.
I would also highly recommend the website to site to teachers, because it would be great for high school and college students to use as an invaluable resource, as there is no objectionable content, just useful current information from the School of Public Health on health and wellness. It covers nutrition, weight control, exercise and fitness, mental health, heart health, and more.
So, again, the site is at http://www.wellnessletter.com. We hope you find it as useful as we have.
