Who Reads Prevention Magazine?
Prevention provides lively, trusted, credible family health information that women need in an inviting, invigorating, approachable format. America's leading healthy lifestyle magazine is based on a simple and powerful promise: Make little changes, get big results. Prevention speaks to readers in a reassuring, familiar voice about family health, food, nutrition, workouts, beauty, cooking and more.

From easy-to-implement "quick tips" to award winning, cutting edge reporting, Prevention is uniquely positioned to tell readers: Here's what you really need to know, and here's what to do about it.

What You Can Expect in Each Issue:

• News and trends: Prevention’s small doses of smart news are compelling, cutting-edge, and actionable. Because our readers want to take their health into their own hands, we cut through controversy and conflicting information to deliver the health research and trends.
• Beauty: Looking your best is the ultimate expression of good health. That’s why Prevention covers both the science and service of beauty, from high-tech to 100% natural. Through product reviews, expert advice, and investigative reporting, we tell our readers everything they need to know about looking and feeling great.
• Food: Prevention helps America’s healthiest chefs cook with confidence and eat with pleasure. We sort helpful science from hyped headlines, translating the latest nutrition and weight loss news into targeted diet and supplement advice. Prevention puts food news and trends into a real-life context with investigative stories, clip-and-save guides, diets that really work, and delicious, no-fuss recipes.
• Alternatives: Because a healthy life is a balanced life, Prevention delivers the best information on natural medicine. Research-supported news on herbal remedies and other alternative treatments empower readers to stay healthy naturally, and sensible, centering tips on stress reduction help them cope in ways that boost their health and their spirits.
• Fitness: Prevention inspires readers at all fitness levels to get and stay active—whether it’s transforming a couch potato or honing a marathoner. We turn the latest fitness research into fun, results-orient workouts and deliver motivation, practical advice to help make exercise a habit—and a fountain of youth.
• Family: We help readers make their home a comfort zone. From every room in the house to every member of the household, Prevention supplies practical advice to keep the whole family—kids and pets included—healthier and happier.

Not Just For Prevention
Get a subscription to this handy little magazine (its just slightly taller than a Reader's Digest) if you not only want to prevent illness and disease, but learn what you can do about health problems you already might have (such as diabetes, heart disease, or obesity). Some of its regular departments include:

-Health (latest health news and trends, Q and A from the experts)
-Real Life (inspirational and motivational health success stories)
-Beauty (tips to look your best)
-Fitness (exercises, motivational tips)
-Nutrition (food tips and up-to-date nutritional advice)
-Mind (info to keep your mind sharp)

As you can see, its a pretty well-rounded health magazine that is perfect for health-minded individuals. Also recommend The 5-Minute Plantar Fasciitis Solution if you have plantar fasciitis that interferes with your exercise routine.

Sad (de)-evolution into a fluff magazine...
Back in the 1970's my grandmother subscribed to Prevention. At that time, it was a wonderful magazine, filled with informative articles aimed at the "Prevention" of illness and the promotion of wellness (as the founder of Prevention, J.I. Rodale had preached). Articles about the role of vitamins and nutrition were light years ahead of their time. (J.I. can be given a lot of credit for bringing vitamins and supplements to the mainstream). Over the years, and especially after the tragic death of Robert Rodale (J.I.'s son), and the takeover by his wife and daughter, it has unfortunately transformed into a fluffy, tabloid-like "women's magazine" with scantily clad women on the covers, and one- or two-page articles instructing women to get killer abs and burn the fat. I think J.I. Rodale is probably spinning in his grave to see what his descendents have done to butcher this magazine, which bears NO resemblence whatsoever to what it used to be. I flipped through a copy in disgust recently to note, as another reviewer has stated, plenty of ads for DRUGS which really seems to go against the idea of preventing illness in the first place (whereas the old Prevention sang the praises of vitamins and health foods). I don't know why the Rodale family doesn't just scrap the title and call it something else, but alas, they are a major corporation now and I have little hope that this magazine will improve any time soon.

DO NOT SUBSCRIBE
Readers. Be aware of subscribing to Prevention Magazine unless you want to get your credit ruined by North Shore Collection Agency. I have been trying to cancel the magazine continously and they don't acknowlege it at all. Prevention Magazine (Rodale) will decept you into renewing and if you try to cancel over and over, they will send you a letter from Collection Agency saying that you own them money.

The choice is yours. There are lots of previous subscribers having the same situation. I thought I was the only one. Check "Complaints for Prevention Magazine" on Google.......
