The Power of Natural Health Online

alive's interactive website is designed to fast-track your natural health learning curve. It supersedes reading because of its interactive features. Take the HQ (health quotient) assessment and discover for yourself.

This fall saw the launch of the new alive Web site, alivepublishing.com, Canada's most comprehensive interactive source on natural health. Simple to navigate and loaded with relevant information, it will help equip you with the knowledge and tools you need to be a good steward of your body, mind and spirit.

Assess your own state of wellness in the site's "Health Tools" section. It includes North America's first online HQ (health quotient) test, an exciting new tool that provides the most complete picture yet of an individual's physical, mental and emotional health. Upon submitting your answers to the questions, you'll receive a detailed summary of what your Health Quotient is and what actions you can take to improve it. You'll also be given links to further information on areas of concern. Best of all, the site allows you to archive your results so that you can retake the test at different intervals and monitor your progress on the road to achieving optimal health. It will take you only half an hour to do, and what you'll learn from it could help you to change your life for the better.

In addition to the HQ test, the section also includes a separate test to measure your EQ (emotional quotient), which more and more experts are coming to identify as a key factor in longevity and quality of life.

Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to your health. Explore the leading reference on natural health, The Encyclopedia of Natural Healing, in the site's "alive Products" section. Developed over a five-year period in consultation with world-renowned experts, this self-help guide offers a wealth of information and features practical remedies for common ailments ranging from acne to arthritis.

Is there an article from a past alive Magazine that you'd like to read but haven't been able to track down? The "alive Products" section contains back issues from 1999 to the present year. An easy-to-use search function enables you to look up articles on a particular subject or find an article by key word.

Hungry for more? Try out some of the delicious, healthy recipes under "Tips and Recipes," compiled from alive Magazine and from its best-selling recipe books.

To make your visit as efficient as possible, the entire site is indexed by a search function. And if you have any further questions or comments, you can contact the Alive team through the site.

If you're someone who has discovered for yourself the benefits of natural health, then you probably feel the urge to share the good news with others. The Alive Web site serves as an excellent starting point for natural health on the Web. Tell your friends and family about it, or e-mail them links to pages you have found of particular interest.
