How Not to Die: Discover the Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease


Michael Greger - 2015
    In How Not to Die, Dr. Michael Greger, the internationally-renowned nutrition expert, physician, and founder of NutritionFacts.org, examines the fifteen top causes of premature death in America -- heart disease, various cancers, diabetes, Parkinson's, high blood pressure, and more -- and explains how nutritional and lifestyle interventions can sometimes trump prescription pills and other pharmaceutical and surgical approaches, freeing us to live healthier lives.The simple truth is that most doctors are good at treating acute illnesses but bad at preventing chronic disease. The fifteen leading causes of death claim the lives of 1.6 million Americans annually. This doesn't have to be the case. By following Dr. Greger's advice, all of it backed up by strong scientific evidence, you will learn which foods to eat and which lifestyle changes to make to live longer.History of prostate cancer in your family? Put down that glass of milk and add flaxseed to your diet whenever you can. Have high blood pressure? Hibiscus tea can work better than a leading hypertensive drug-and without the side effects. Fighting off liver disease? Drinking coffee can reduce liver inflammation. Battling breast cancer? Consuming soy is associated with prolonged survival. Worried about heart disease (the number 1 killer in the United States)? Switch to a whole-food, plant-based diet, which has been repeatedly shown not just to prevent the disease but often stop it in its tracks.In addition to showing what to eat to help treat the top fifteen causes of death, How Not to Die includes Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen -- a checklist of the twelve foods we should consume every day. Full of practical, actionable advice and surprising, cutting edge nutritional science, these doctor's orders are just what we need to live longer, healthier lives.

Proteinaholic: How Our Obsession with Meat Is Killing Us and What We Can Do About It


Garth Davis - 2015
    Foods, drinks, and supplements are loaded with extra protein. Many people use protein for weight control, to gain or lose pounds, while others believe it gives them more energy and is essential for a longer, healthier life. Now, Dr. Garth Davis, an expert in weight loss asks, “Is all this protein making us healthier?”The answer, he emphatically argues, is NO. Too much protein is actually making us sick, fat, and tired, according to Dr. Davis. If you are getting adequate calories in your diet, there is no such thing as protein deficiency. The healthiest countries in the world eat far less protein than we do and yet we have an entire nation on a protein binge getting sicker by the day.As a surgeon treating obese patients, Dr. Davis was frustrated by the ever-increasing number of sick and overweight patients, but it wasn't until his own health scare that he realized he could do something about it. Combining cutting-edge research, with his hands-on patient experience and his years dedicated to analyzing studies of the world’s longest-lived populations, this explosive, groundbreaking book reveals the truth about the dangers of protein and shares a proven approach to weight loss, health, and longevity.

The Diet Myth: The Real Science Behind What We Eat


Tim Spector - 2015
    Despite advice from experts, governments and dieticians about the dangers of too much fat, sugar, protein and lack of exercise, our nutrition - and the global obesity crisis - is getting worse. Why can one person eat a certain meal and gain weight and another eat exactly the same food and lose pounds? Genes provide part of the answer, but we have been overlooking one vital aspect of diet that lies within us. Thanks to recent breakthroughs, scientists have begun to examine the permanent residents in our guts: the thousands of previously unknown but essential microbes whose job it is to digest our food and keep us alive. Drawing on the latest science and his own research team's pioneering work, Professor Tim Spector explores the hidden world of the microbiome and demystifies the common misconceptions about fat, calories, vitamins and nutrients. Only by understanding how our own microbes interact with our bodies can we overcome our confusion about modern diets and nutrition to regain the correct balance of our ancestors.Mixing cutting-edge discoveries, illuminating science and his own case studies, Spector shows why we should stop listening to the myths of diet fads and instead embrace diversity for a healthy gut and a healthy body.

Real Food for Gestational Diabetes: An Effective Alternative to the Conventional Nutrition Approach


Lily Nichols - 2015
    Imagine easily managing your blood sugar, effortlessly gaining the right amount of weight during your pregnancy, and giving birth to a beautiful, healthy baby. This can be you! Real Food for Gestational Diabetes offers an alternative to the conventional nutrition approach that embraces nutrient-dense and delicious foods that nourish you and baby without causing high blood sugar. With the wrong information (or no information at all), far too many women are left alone struggling with erratic blood sugar and excessive weight gain, often leading them to high doses of insulin or medications and difficult births. Sadly, this often happens despite these moms dutifully following the dietary advice given to them by well­-meaning clinicians; a restrictive diet that leaves them feeling unsatisfied, unhappy, and confused about ever­ increasing blood sugar numbers. In Real Food for Gestational Diabetes, prenatal nutritionist and diabetes educator, Lily Nichols, RDN, CDE, CLT, sets the record straight, offering revamped carbohydrate recommendations and exercise guidelines based on the latest clinical research. You can have gestational diabetes and have a healthy baby. Lily will show you how. With this book, you have the tools to turn this diagnosis into a blessing in disguise. You’ll learn: - Why conventional diet therapy often fails and what to do instead - How the right prenatal nutrition can reduce the likelihood you’ll need insulin by 50% - Exactly which foods raise your blood sugar (and more importantly, which foods DON’T raise your blood sugar) - How to customize a meal plan with the right amount of carbohydrates for YOU (there’s no one-size-fits-all plan, despite what you may have been told) - The truth about ketosis during pregnancy (and why checking urine ketones isn’t useful) - Information on insulin and blood sugar-lowering medications used in pregnancy - Which foods to emphasize to provide your baby with the right nutrients for optimal development (these real foods have a long history of producing strong, healthy babies) - The best prenatal exercises to control your blood sugar and prepare for labor - What to do after delivery to prevent type 2 diabetes

That Sugar Book


Damon Gameau - 2015
    In no time he was slimmer, calmer, fitter and happier. He was also very curious: why did the elimination of sugar have such beneficial effects on his health and wellbeing? He decided to experiment and film the results. He would eat 40 teaspoons of sugar a day for 60 days. Crucially, he would only consume perceived 'healthy' foods like muesli bars, breakfast cereals, low-fat yoghurts, juices and smoothies.The results were staggering. Although his caloric intake was the same as his regular diet, he put on nearly 9 kilograms in 60 days. Within a couple of weeks, he had the beginnings of fatty liver disease. Doctors who monitored his health throughout warned him that he was on the road to obesity, diabetes and heart disease. His journey took him not just down a path to ill health, but to outback Australia and to the backblocks of the USA. He interviewed food manufacturers, health experts and large-scale consumers of the white stuff. He discovered that 80 per cent of products on our supermarket shelves contain sugar, and that 5.5 million Australians have fatty liver disease directly linked to their sugar consumption. That Sugar Book follows Damon on his journey and blows the lid on how the food industries make and sell our food, and how they are complicit in, and indeed determined to, maintain the status quo on the world's alarming and health-destroying sugar consumption. In also contains sensible advice on kicking the habit, foods to avoid, how to shop, how to read labels and how to cook sugar-free food, with the help of over thirty delicious, nurturing and easily prepared recipes.Released in conjunction with That Sugar Film, the book contains all the information from the film plus the wonderful bits they were forced to leave out."This book will have you sprinting away from sugar faster than Usain Bolt in a 100m race." Courier MailFans of Sarah Wilson and David Gillespie will love That Sugar Book.

The Wild Diet: Get Back to Your Roots, Burn Fat, and Drop Up to 20 Pounds in 40 Days


Abel James - 2015
      Growing up on a farm in New Hampshire, Abel James ran wild and ate everything. Fresh zucchini in August, huckleberries by the fishing spot, kale all year round. But when he moved to the big city, he started eating a “modern diet” off the supermarket shelves and, by his early twenties, it showed. Abel's doctor recommended a low-cholesterol, calorie-restricted diet and frequent exercise, so he took to running thirty miles per week and nibbling low-fat food. But he only got sicker.   Now Abel eats like a king, never goes to the gym, and is in the best shape of his life. His plan is simple: eat plenty of whole and naturally edible foods, and be skeptical of manipulated, processed food products. Foods found in the wild will return the human body to its optimal fat-burning stage and reverse the damage done by decades of poor eating. Abel James shows that the answer to vibrant health doesn’t live in a calorie-restricted diet, a magical fat-blasting pill, or a miserable exercise program. The secret is sticking to our roots and knowing where our food comes from. The Wild Diet is the key.From the Trade Paperback edition.

The Power of Primary Food: Nourishment Beyond The Plate


Joshua Rosenthal - 2015
     Have you ever promised yourself you'd make better dietary choices tomorrow, only to find yourself stuck in the same routine patterns day in and day out? Have you considered that the way you eat is just part of the picture? While food is critically important, it is secondary to the area of primary food—loving our lives, moving our bodies, having meaningful careers, and embracing the things that feed us on a mental, emotional, psychological, and spiritual level. In order to effectively improve our diets, we must be willing to look not only at the food on our plates, but at the experiences that feed us on a daily basis. Primary Food offers a fresh perspective on nutrition—one that considers the aspects of well-being that cannot be measured in calories. Explore your primary food today, and learn to: • create honest, authentic relationships • make exercise a habit you enjoy • conquer your limitations and find a career path that suits you • align with who you are as a spiritual being • bring meaning, balance, and purpose to everything you do

A Table in the Orchard


Michelle Crawford - 2015
    I wanted to wear gumboots. Every day. Organizing cocktail parties at the Sydney Opera House sounds perfectly glamorous, and for a while it was for Michelle Crawford. But once she became a mother, the yearning to find her own little slice of heaven in the country could no longer be ignored. For years she had been daydreaming of a little farmhouse, with smoke curling out of the chimney, where she could slow down and grow her own food. Last but not least, she was hungry for a new adventure. An old farmhouse nestled in Tasmania’s lush Huon Valley offered the chance to make that a dream come true—and adventure in spades, from her first doomed attempts at planting a veggie garden to raising a bunch of chickens with attitude, discovering the joys of a wood stove and foraging for treasure to make sloe gin, jam, and bake cakes. Lots of cakes. Warm, down to earth, and inspiring, and lushly illustrated with lip-smacking images and recipes, A Table in the Orchard is breathtaking proof of how seductive a taste of slow living in one of the most beautiful valleys in Tasmania might be. Like Michelle, you might be tempted to make your own crumpets—or run away to the Apple Isle.

The Myth of Osteoporosis: What every woman needs to know about creating bone health


Gillian Sanson - 2015
    These myths motivate both patient and physician into a lifetime of unnecessary testing and drug therapy therapy that can in fact be life-threatening. Gillian Sanson's well-documented explanation of these myths can spare women great anxiety. She takes the fear out of aging and restores women's sense of control over their bodies. She gives women good reasons for challenging the common way that osteoporosis is handled in the United States and in many other industrialized nations.This revised edition provides important information about the latest studies and the newest drugs on the market.* A diagnosis of low bone density is not a good predictor of fracture. Most fractures occur in those who have bone density in the normal range. * New U.S. osteoporosis screening recommendations target the majority of women over the age of 50, effectively turning millions of healthy women into patients.* The U.S. National Osteoporosis Foundation predicts an epidemic of osteoporosis by 2025 but hip fracture rates are falling, and have been for the last 3 decades.* Osteoporosis drugs carry serious risks and side effects and do not benefit the majority of people who take them. * Diagnoses have skyrocketed in recent decades, yet the mortality rate from osteoporosis remains largely unchanged.“…Sanson approaches the topic of osteoporosis with insight and wisdom...” - Journal of the American Medical Association. “At last a carefully-researched, comprehensive, and easy-to-read account of the world-wide marketing of osteoporosis as a killer disease in order to manufacture patients for the sale of drugs”. - Barbara Seaman Gill Sanson's book is a well-researched breath of fresh air that will help women everywhere better trust the wisdom of their bodies. -- Christiane Northrup, M.D.A diagnosis of low bone density is not a good predictor of fracture.

Marie-Julie Jahenny: The Breton Stigmatist


Marquis de la Franquerie - 2015
    Sheen). THIS EDITION ALSO INCLUDES clarifying notes within the Marquis’ original text. Marie-Julie, who was known for her admirable obedience to her spiritual directors and her Bishop, received a great number of apparitions of Our Lord, Our Lady, angels, and saints. She was also given prophecies that foretold future events for the universal Church, as well as for the world and, also in particular, the country of France, which has long been called “the first daughter of the Church” since France, under King Clovis of old, was the first country to publicly declare the Catholic Faith as the nation’s religion. In this comprehensive introduction to the life and prophecies of “The Breton Stigmatist,” the reader will discover that Marie-Julie Jahenny foretold the World Wars I and II, the election of Pope St. Pius X, the various persecutions of the Church, the chastisements and the fate of apostate France, the “first daughter of the Church.”Prophecies of two individuals, a future Great Monarch and of a future Pope, were also given to Marie-Julie, but she is not alone in foretelling these two persons. Other saints and mystics have also predicted the coming of a “Great Monarch” (also known as the “Great Catholic Monarch”), as well as an Angelic Pastor (a holy and firm Pope), both whom will cooperate with God’s will during a formidable period of danger for the Church and the entire world.Foretelling a terrible crisis in three parts, three days' darkness (as well as a separate two day period of darkness), spiritual and physical protection is also promised to those truly devoted to Our Lady and the Rosary, St. Joseph, and St. Michael. This work is a helpful addition for those who wish to recognize “the signs of the times.”

Real Food for Rookies: Healthy Cooking - Traditional Food - Vibrant Health


Kelly Moeggenborg - 2015
    To be honest, it wasn't even on my radar to pay much attention to what I was feeding them, I just didn't think food made that big of a difference. It was all about what was cheap, what tasted good, and what was convenient to throw together. Even though we struggled helping our kids in school, and there were behavioral issues that had us under constant stress, I still didn't make the connection. Pretty sad, right?! Ironically, it wasn't until 2004 when I started to gain a little weight that I was led to what I now call my "food conversion", and all because a friend introduced me to the Weston Price Foundation. I clicked onto the WAPF website and as I started reading, a bunch of light bulbs in my brain clicked on, too. I learned that food is powerful. It can make us sick and miserable, or it can nourish us and give us energy and vitality! It wasn't easy getting the family switched over. There were many food flops and some complaining, but I eventually figured it out. I learned how to take our family favorite recipes and adapt them into much better-for-you versions, and they're better tasting now, with so many fresh, healthy ingredients that are good for us, too! I also learned where to find the best foods. It was difficult for many years, but thankfully, sourcing real food from the farm or finding organic foods from the grocery store is getting a little easier, as long as you know what to look for. I want to help you learn more quickly than I did! Here's how Real Food for Rookies will help you: Adapting recipes will come natural to you! ---> Then you can take any family favorite and make it not only healthy, but more delicious! (Included are examples to show how easily this can be done with your own recipes.) Learn which ingredients are best and which to avoid. ---> No more wondering if the groceries you buy are worth the cost or even safe. Learn which fats we should be using and and in which recipes. ---> You'll be able to avoid the bad-for-you fats, instead of unintentionally making yourself or our loved ones sick, and definitely more prone to obesity and chronic disease! Get the real scoop on why buying fat-free and low-fat is not a good choice. ---> So you'll know how to keep such nutrient-poor "food" out of your grocery cart! Find out how to know when buying organic matters. ---> You'll stop spending extra money when it's not necessary. Become informed on which grocery store foods often lie on their labels. ---> So you won't get duped -- you'll know the truth and can choose wisely. You'll get a top ten list of foods to avoid and a top ten list of superfoods to eat more often. ---> This will be simple, clear, and easy to incorporate into your life. If you've thought of switching to more nutrient-dense, fresh milk, find out what *exactly* you should look for in a raw milk farm ---> So you can get the most wonderful superfood possible, and avoid milk that could be contaminated. (Also, if you buy milk from the store, learn which kinds you should never ever buy.) Do you wonder what's the big deal with fish oils? Learn which brands are the better, safer choice. ---> You'll stop wasting your money on junk that won't have much benefit and could even be harmful.

Beyond Metabolism: How Your Brain, Biology, and the Environment Create and Perpetuate Weight Issues ...and What You Can Do About It


Scott Abel - 2015
    You're not going to maintain your weight or weight loss on yet another fancy diet with restrictions and rules. Going on another diet addresses the symptom, not the cause, and in doing so, can actually make matters worse. This book gets to the root causes behind your food, eating, or weight issue. If you struggle to keep weight off, or if you struggle to stick to a diet for longer than a few weeks, this book is for you. It's about addressing your habits and the underlying causes behind your food issues. In the modern world, we are seeing raising body weights, an increasing prevalence of food addiction, overeating, and eating disorders. The previous "unconscious mechanisms" that kept our body weights in check have disappeared. Part One addresses all the various ways things are stacked against us in our modern world. It discusses the reward center of the brain, and how it interacts with various modern environmental and cultural influences that cause things like food addiction and overeating. It talks about how our bodies are evolved to fight against fat loss, and prefer weight gain. It talks about recent changes in food industry, and the ways in which it specifically engineers "hyper-palatable" foods that have a very specific effect on your brain and your psychology. It discusses the importance of cues, your emotions, stress, and what every person needs to be "aware" of if you are going to truly solve your food, dieting, or weight issues. The main argument here is that a food or eating issue is actually rarely a metabolic issue. Most of the time there are other things at play. Part Two is all about solutions to food, dieting or over-eating issues. The solutions are not metabolic, or about going on another diet. This section is about higher (self) awareness, the truth about behaviour modification and habit reversal, and what it truly takes to get rid of an eating or food issue. There are no "one-size-fits-all" simple recipes for this kind of thing -- because each food issue is unique, so too will each solution be unique (even if the principles underlying the solutions are the same). Part Two is about becoming more aware, and learning to listen to your own body, your brain, and your thoughts, to achieve a higher level of food awareness. There are specific instructions you can follow, with advice about applying them to your own situation. Beyond Metabolism includes: • A special questionnaire to address the specifics of your food, dieting, or eating issues • The real biology of weight control and metabolism • The emotion of food, and the cognitive associations your brain creates • "Habit Reversal": How to reverse unwanted habits • How to tell if you have a real food addiction to a specific food • How "another diet" will never solve your current issues • Five Steps to Food Freedom • How to use the essential principles of

For many it is a singular instant, a flash when the mystical reveals itself and the person is drawn into the world of shamanic power.

In this book of remarkable stories, we learn firsthand about the many different forms of the "aha" moment of shamanic awakening, whether they arise from ceremony, near-death experiences, dream messages, or entheogenic substances.

Breanna Emmitt - 2015
    But in He Won’t Know It’s Paleo, Bre’anna Emmitt takes you right into her kitchen where she prepared only paleo autoimmune protocol meals for six months before she finally came clean with her husband, Chris. In that time, she noticed drastic improvement in her two autoimmune diseases and began her popular blog, He Won’t Know It’s Paleo. Each recipe in this book was created with love, shared with sneakiness, and enjoyed with gusto. Her guideline to publishing is always this: If a recipe doesn’t meet her non-paleo husband’s approval, it doesn’t get published. Following the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol does not have to mean compromising great taste. Bre’anna’s hope is that these recipes become your new family favorites - ones that not only improve your health, but that bring good food and great joy around your dinner table. Praise for He Won’t Know It’s Paleo “Proper nutrition, exercise, sleep and stress management are the foundations of well-being. But what do we do when the foods we eat make us sick? Where do we look for answers? And what do we do when traditional medicine fails us? Bre’anna Emmitt is a brave soul who took matters into her own hands to find help for herself. What she discovered is the healing power of food.” - Simone Norris, MD “He Won't Know It's Paleo" is one of the most creative Autoimmune Protocol cookbooks I've seen yet! Bre'anna has adapted all your familiar favorites to elimination diet-friendly versions. The recipes and mouth-watering photography cover everything from apple pie to enchiladas. Tricking her hubby into making a dietary transition is what inspired Bre'anna's inventive creations and with her help, you can keep the secret from your family too. Shhh!" -Angie Alt, author of “The Alternative Autoimmune Cookbook” “Bre'anna Emmitt is the Paul Deen of the AIP community, providing the comfort food we love, with one big difference: these recipes are good for our health.” Eileen Laird, author of the popular AIP blog “Phoenix Helix”

I was honored to see him speak recently in Weston, Florida where he launched this book. The immense amount of knowledge, research, experience and passion he puts into speaking had me fired up and ready to dive into knowing more about my own body. Some of his key take aways from his lecture that had me intrigued about this book included: "You lose weight when you stop trying to lose weight" and that our "Biggest saboteur of weight loss is the spouse." These quote rang true for my own experience and I highly recommend this book for jumping in and taking charge of your stress so that you can get your body functioning to it's utmost potential." "After seeing Bill speak recently I had to have the book and I spent all weekend reading it! As a former figure competitor, I thought I knew all there was to know about diet and nutrition. I have always followed a clean eating plan but unless I was prepping for a show, I never really achieved the lean look that I love. This book completely changed my outlook on all of that!! I've always been told to drink more water, I don't always like water so I've never been diligent. But when Bill said, you have to drink to shrink! I've been drinking more water than ever before thanks to this book. Thank you Bill!" "I was lucky to be given this book by a friend. I ignored it because who wants to read a diet book that was given to them, right? Finally, after a couple of weeks of promises of how it helped my friend loose weight, I committed to read it. I'm am grateful I did. Unlike many other fad diets, Bill demonstrates through science, statistics and studies that my response to stress was the main reason for my belly weight. Applying simple techniques, I was able to control my response to stress, reduce my weight and live with more peace. Good book, new approach, liked the results in my life.
