Stay Healthy by supplying what's missing in your diet (10th Edition)

New Zealand's Most Popular Health Reference Book

This new 2017 updated, enlarged International 10th edition of New Zealand's most popular and easy-to-understand health reference book (Over 90,000 copies sold in New Zealand alone) is now packed even more fully with priceless health information. It contains so much newly discovered health information, that you may have to forget almost half of what you've been told these last 20 years.

Enjoy optimum health from your diet

As it has always done, this book shows you how to dramatically improve your health by making small but critical changes to your diet. When you supply your body with the correct balance of minerals, vitamins and fats, you begin to enjoy a clearer mind, sharper memory, sound heart, efficient immune system, clear arteries, healthy bones, loads of energy, a worry-free outlook on life and refreshing sleep.

You can say goodbye to, or avoid altogether, any of the embarrassing and misery-causing health problems listed on page 4. These have all been healed by optimum nutrition - just small but important changes to your diet. Your body is then able to heal them naturally from within or prevent them ever occurring. Often all you require are the important minerals like boron, magnesium, zinc, selenium and iodine which are lacking in our New Zealand soils or lost in the processing our food. New Zealand farmers know the dramatic difference, diet minerals make to the health of animals.

How to avoid major health problems, cope with food-related allergies, cope with food-related illnesses and become permanently slim

There are now new sections in the book showing you how to prevent Alzheimers, Cancer, Heart attack, Stroke, Macular Degeneration and Autism. Also a fail-proof way of losing 3 kgs a week and then remaining permanently slim for the rest of your life. There's also an expanded index to help you quickly find what you need.

"Presents a wealth of information clearly and succinctly and empowers people to take charge of their own health."

Katherine Smith, Editor of The New Zealand Journal of Natural Medicine.

"Reading carefully every page in the last six days has deeply impressed me with the value of this book. David Coory provides thoughtful leadership with the genius of simplicity in a topic that is often fraught with complexity and conflicting agendas. Stay Healthy deserves a wide readership."

Robert Dee, Health book editor and proofreader, Tauranga.

"A must-read for anyone wanting to look beyond the claims and contradictions that characterise much of the reported research on health issues."

John MacKinven Professional proofreader

"There are lots of health books out there these days. However, if you are looking for something really useful, insightful, well researched and a real treasure of information, look no further. This is the one.

Jonathan Eisen, Publisher, The NZ Journal of Natural Medicine

David Coory was born in Wellington, New Zealand in 1946 to a father of Christian Lebanese descent and a mother of Scottish/Welsh ancestry. His family then moved to the West Coast of the South Island where he spent his childhood. The family later returned to the Wellington area and David attended St Bernard's Catholic College in Lower Hutt. David's first jobs were office administration positions in a women's clothing manufacturing factory, and then in the photographic and automotive industries. In his early 20's, after marrying Marie Pearson a young woman of Swedish/English descent, he became a self-employed car painter/renovator specialising in complete repaints. Despite his manual work career David always remained a life-long avid reader of non-fiction and fine literature. David eventually became bored with car painting and closed his car painting business, sold the land and buildings and became involved in property development. However he did not find this spiritually satisfying and so wrote and published a book called "Spraypainting and Panelbeating for the NZ Home Handyman." This book sold well, as cars, during the 1980's were expensive in New Zealand and prone to rust. The book sold 16,000 copies and was followed up with a 2 hour VHS video by the same name. Later it was converted to DVD. Around this same time, in 1982 when David was 35, his 66 year old father had a serious heart attack. His dad did not die (he lived to be 96) but this was a health wake up call for David and sparked a growing interest in natural health. He researched natural health voraciously over the next five years, also experimenting with his own health. And in 1988 he wrote and published a do-it-yourself book on practical nutrition called "NZ Nutrition and Your Health". This book instantly sold amazingly well, as it was timely and easy to follow. Ideas for further improvement of the book flowed in from readers and the next edition was republished as "Stay Healthy by Supplying What's Lacking in Your Diet". The book has continued to sell strongly, year after year, mostly by direct mail through a publishing company Zealand Publishing House that David founded. Sales of the book now exceed 80,000 copies. It is by far the top selling New Zealand health book of all time and a new expanded 9th edition was published in 2013 after years of further research. David appears to have inherited his passion for writing and research from his Lebanese forefathers. His grandfather Joseph Coory attended school in Becharre (in the mountains of Lebanon) with the world-famous Christian Lebanese writer Kahlil Gibran (author of "The Prophet"). His influence appears to have inspired the Coory family with a love of literature. David still lives in Tauranga, New Zealand with his wife, children and grand children and is still actively involved in his faith and businesses.
