"Days of our Lives: BETTER LIVING inspires all of us to live healthier, balanced and fulfilled lives. We are pleased to support the American Cancer Society because we believe that BETTER LIVING is an organic fit with this famous organization." - Greg Meng
Written by Meng, Sr. Vice President of Corday Productions, Inc. and Co-Executive Producer of Days of our Lives, this is an exclusive look at how the "Days" cast members keep healthy, happy and vibrant. "BETTER LIVING" invites readers to join their favorite stars as they share all their secrets to maintaining a well-balanced and fulfilling life. While touring with best-selling Days of our Lives 45 Years: a Celebration in Photos, Meng noticed a common theme in many of the questions to the cast. Questions like, "How do you stay so YOUNG – you NEVER seem to AGE?", and "How do you keep yourself in such great shape?", kept coming up from city to city. It was clear that fans weren't just interested in the characters they've come to know and love, but they wanted to also know how our cast live. How do they remain grounded? How do they stay in shape? How do they eat? How do they live? The real "secret" is, there IS no secret. All the recipes, mental and physical work-outs and routines that the "Days" stars do to maintain a well-balanced and fulfilling lifestyle, are things that everyday viewers will be able to relate to, adopt and include in their own lives. "BETTER LIVING" has a lot of take-a-way, not just for fans of the show but also for anyone who wants to live healthier, better life. The book shares real, tangible insight on how to reach that balance.
With over 300 pages of behind-the-scenes, original, and exclusive never-before seen images of the cast, "BETTER LIVING" reveals the many secrets to how Days actors sustain a healthy mind and body. The book features five essential lifestyle categories including: nutrition, exercise, style, inspiration, and balance. Each category features select cast members and their unique approach to achieving health and balance in their own lives. Cast featured in the book include: Alison Sweeney, Deidre Hall, Kristian Alfonso, Lisa Rinna, James Scott, Nadia Bjorlin, Galen Gering and many more!
Everyone who strives to balance career, family and all that today's world throws at us, can look forward to discovering fashion, hair, and makeup tips and tricks, including Camila Banus' beauty basics and Christie Clark's wardrobe staples. Cast members divulge their secrets to staying physically fit, and share personal recipes they enjoy making at home, such as Lisa Rinna's gluten-free Brazilian Bombshell Smoothie and Alison Sweeney's delicious Chicken with Dried Cherries. The "Days" cast shares how they each find inspiration through their own, very relatable routines of meditation, religion, volunteering, and the arts, and their solutions to meeting the continuous challenge of balancing a demanding work schedule and family time.
