Achieving and maintaining good health over time does not have to be complicated. However, it often requires a self-health manual with clear directions on how to get there and stay there.

In Health Habits at Home: Take Charge of Your Wellbeing, local author, detoxification specialist, and founder of Spark Health Technologies, Sue Mahany, shares 35 essential habits for physical well-being. Colorful and action-oriented, the book is the result of Mahany’s 25 years of study and experience. She shares strategies she successfully used to overcome chronic fatigue and hormonal imbalance.

Simple Steps and Clear Understanding

Organized into simple steps and written for ease of understanding, the book provides clear directions on how to implement these habits. Most of the 35 habits can be done at home and are relatively inexpensive. “Although I’ve found that people are generally aware that detoxification, supplements, sleep, and nutrition are essential for wellness, they aren’t familiar with the quality of supplements, what to take, or the correct order needed to achieve their health goals. The choices we make every day can strengthen our bodies against the harsh chemical and electromagnetic environments we live in today. These key points below can make all the difference,” she advises.

Detoxification, Benchmarking, Refining 

Think of the body as a house. Houses come in different sizes and shapes, and they are built at different times. How much junk is inside your house? How much structural work needs to be done? What is for looks, and what is for function? Getting the house in order is easiest if the junk is removed first. In the body, this process is called detoxification.

Next, assess what needs to be done to strengthen the structure, air quality, and plumbing/electrical systems of the house. This is the benchmarking stage. Addressing these issues, as well as general maintenance, is the all-important and never-ending nourishment stage. Finally, there’s nothing wrong with wanting nice curb appeal and comfortable sofas—this is where you savor the fruits of your labor in the refining stage.

Effects of Environmental Chemicals, EMFs and Demanding Lifestyles

Great opportunities in the self-care category include everything from lasers to saunas to sleep-monitoring devices that, when properly applied, can significantly reduce the odds of chronic disease. Living in an era of damaging environmental chemicals, ubiquitous electromagnetic frequencies, and demanding lifestyles has created massive health challenges, but there are solutions for every problem.

“It can be hard to know which options are worthwhile or where to even start. Having successfully navigated the myriad options, I wrote this book to save readers valuable time and money when designing their wellness plan,” Mahany advises.
