Physical fitness thru a superior diet, fasting and dietetics : also a religious concept of physical, spiritual and mental dietetics

In this writing, Professor Ehret traces the roots of fasting and dietetics back to the time of the Greeks and Hippocrates - the father of medicine. Ehret emphasizes mankind's need to embrace a therapeutic system of eating. Also featured is an additional essay by Ehret titled A Religious Concept of Physical, Spiritual and Mental Dietetics. This illustrations-only book tells the story of the Red Willow People of Taos Pueblo in present-day northern New Mexico. Taos Pueblo is known to be one of the longest continuously inhabited communities, designated both a UNESCO World heritage Site and a National Historic Landmark. This delightful board book is part of the Taos Pueblo Four Seasons series which was created by the Taos Pueblo's Tiwa Language Program to preserve the Tiwa culture and revitalize the unwritten Tiwa language by teaching it to younger generations. Many other Indigenous languages also need to be revitalized, so it is the hope of the Taos Pueblo's Tiwa Language Program that other American Indian nations will find the books useful to teach their languages to their children. Each season features a distinct and well-known Taos Pueblo artist. The beautiful, hand-drawn illustrations will also educate young children about the four seasons of the year and the plants and animals in the area. All proceeds of the book support the Taos Pueblo's Tiwa Language Program.
