Stop Aging - Start Training,
Sal Fichera
Learn how you can stop, and even reverse, aging.
- Diet For A New America, John B. Robbins
A shocking account of what goes on behind the scenes with our food supply. This is information you will never gain through the media. While Robbins approaches his topics from an animal-rights perspective, it also becomes clear how our health is affected by the way the animals we eat are treated. This book helps make it clear how foolish and dangerous the high-protein (myth) approach is. You will certainly become aware of the need for improvements in your approach to food preparation. Perhaps it is time for all of us to reevaluate our diets.
- The Good Carbohydrate Revolution, Terry Shintani, MD, JD, MPH
This book is a refreshing departure from the constant barrage of high-protein fad diet advocates. Dr. Shintani says it as it is, all based on endless research. Simply put, a high-protein diet will dehydrate your body thereby a) causing an unhealthy weightloss and b) placing enormous stress on your kidneys. Although some carbohydrates are unhealthy, there are many that are essential for strong, healthy living. Dr. Shintani does a wonderful job at explaining complex concepts in simple, easy-to-understand language. He also makes very clear the truths of the glycemic index, a very important--yet widely misunderstood--concept. This is a must-read for healthful eating and living.
- The Best Supplements for Your Health, Donald P. Goldberg, R.Ph., Arnold Gitomer, R.Ph., and Robert Abel, Jr., M.D.
Many people cling to the old view that by eating a "well-balanced" diet, there is no need for supplementation. Perhaps this was true 60 years. However, we live in an entirely different world today. With the top layers of our topsoil destroyed (along with numerous micronutrients and elements essential for good health), with the use of pesticides and herbicides and having heavy metals in our water and pollutants in our air, there is no way to consume a well-balanced diet in the way our bodies were designed to absorb food. The need for supplementation is greater today than ever before. This book is a wonderful guide for selecting the supplements that are right for you.
- Optimum Sports Nutrition, Dr. Michael Colgan
This is a comprehensive guide to nutrition for sports and exercise. Dr. Colgan provides many specifics that can easily be applied to your lifestyle for improved performance. What sets this book apart from some of the commercial best-selling books is the abundance of scientific evidence Colgan provides, backing up his theories and ideas.
- The Power of Your Plate, Neal D. Barnard, MD
Reading this book will empower you! It becomes evident that we all are in control of our health. Dr. Barnard details the reasons why many health disorders evolve - primarily from the foods we consume. We may not have a choice concerning our genes, but we certainly can change the way we eat. What a relief it is to realize that staying strong and healthy is actually a matter of choice.
