#BookReview – Forget the #Viagra, Pass me a Carrot – Sally Cronin
Today’s book review is on Sally Cronin’s book ‘Forget the Viagra, Pass me a Carrot. Sally is a brilliant writer and writes in different genres. This book just happens to offer a lot of her wisdom and knowledge Sally acquired as a nutritionist, on health and nutrition and the human body.
From the Author:
The latest headlines in the Media recently are constantly highlighting the fact that men are at risk as they ignore early symptoms of life threatening disease. Cardiovascular and Prostate disease if caught in the early stages can be treated and managed but surveys indicate that men do not know what symptoms they should be looking for.
Despite the title, Forget the Viagra, Pass me a Carrot! is not just about the physical causes of sexual dysfunction and the dangers of taking a drug that is bought without medical consultation, but about men’s health in general. A workshop manual takes the working parts, describes how they function, what can go wrong and how to prevent problems in the future. This men’s health manual – does just that – takes all the major organs, illustrates how they work, the symptoms to look for and also how to avoid the problems in the first place.
It is never too late to make changes that can give your body a great chance at a long and vital life.
Blurb:
This is a health and Nutrition book aimed at men – and their partners who are interested in keeping them fit and well. It provides a fundamental understanding of how to deliver essential nutrition to support all the major organs, with a focus on keeping a healthy sex life into old age.

My Review:
This is a book for everyone to have on their bookshelves. The blurb states it’s aimed at men, but don’t be fooled, this book has a wealth of health information for everyone. It is similar to having a manual or a dictionary about keeping our bodies in optimal function with suggested nutrients, vitamins and minerals, causes of bad health, and suggested methods of repair for the whole human body.
A fascinating read which will have every reader identify with at least some part of the book pertaining to their own health issues.
If you want to learn how our organs function, what it takes to keep them running efficiently, and live in health, I highly recommend this book.

Thank you so much for being such a huge support Debby. Each time I consider retreating from the process of publishing books rather than writing in other formats, you motivate me to keep going. love and hugs Sal.

You must keep going Sal. Your stories are so filled with great messages, whether about animals, people or health and nutrition. You are gifted with writing versatility and you must publish to share with the world. And If I didn’t that you were terrific, I wouldn’t be advocating for you on my pages. 🙂 Big hugs back! xo <3

Sally, you have an amazing title and wonderful sense of humor displayed in your book. I think Debby has covered enough to prove behind the fun are serious scientific subjects covered. A great review!
Sally, I wish you good luck and success in this newest book publication. It is a pertinent and topical field of healthy practices many will benefit from.

Thanks Robin. Sally is a wealth of information. 🙂

I love books like this that help show we are usually much better served by looking at our diets rather than popping a pill to fix what’s ailing us so to speak.
dgkaye
So true Jeri. And I promise you, this book is a wealth of information to monitor the whole system. Well worth having on our bookshelves. Almost better than the Merck manual for doctors. 🙂

This book of Sally’s sounds like it is filled with useful tips about health and how to maintain our bodies.. Along with some humour too by the sounds of it.. I think lots of men need a boost to keep themselves healthy.. The title of this one is certainly catches the attention 🙂 ..

It’s a fantastic book, and although the title sounds like it’s just for men, it encompasses whole health for everyone. A must have on the bookshelves. 🙂 xoxo

People underestimate the healing power of food. On the reverse side, we underestimate the way additives and processed food can be toxic. We ALL should be more educated about what we put into our precious bodies! Drug companies don’t want us to “medicate” with nutrition, but I’m not worried about that!
On a less serious note, the title struck me as funny (in that “oh no she didn’t” kind of way). I thought the book was about not needing a man at all…if you get my drift! How embarrassing is that! (Is there an emoji for embarrassed?) 😉
dgkaye
Lol Lorna that was funny. But you are so right. So many are busy talking about all the bad things. It’s time to start promoting the good stuff! 🙂
Lorna's Voice
Yup! Lots of healing foods out there, ripe (pun intended) for the taking! 🙂
