My Dog Eats Better Than Your Kids by Dr Peter Dingle
The foods we feed our children and what we eat now will determine disease patterns in the future. Most of the chronic illnesses of today were either rare or unheard of just 100 years ago and still don’t exist in many countries where people live on traditional diets. The scientific literature is now abundant with evidence showing how changes in lifestyle and diet not only reduce the chances of these chronic diseases but also, in many cases, reverse these conditions without the use of prescription drugs.
This colourfully illustrated book can be read by anyone from 10 to 100 years of age and tells the story of what we should be eating, where we have gone wrong and how we can all obtain optimal health.
Natural Fertility by Francesca Naish
Nearly all women have problems with their fertility at some time in their lives. Either they have too much of it when they don’t want it, or too little when they do! In between their ‘hormones’ can plague them with a host of physical and emotional problems.
Women can learn to overcome all these ‘women’s problems’ using completely natural methods. This book offers solutions and preventative advice that will contribute enormously to women’s well-being, as well as helping to overcome problems with contraception, infertility (in men, as well), and reproductive and hormonal health.
Natural Fertility allows you to make clear and informed choices about the ‘orthodox’ and natural alternatives open to you. It tells you how to understand and cooperate with your fertility cycles, rather than attempting to override or manipulate them, through observing natural body ‘signs’, and combining this with your own ‘lunar’ biorhythmic cycle. You can also combine ‘natural fertility awareness’ with other contraceptive techniques or plan your ideal healthy baby.
This book provides women with the means to manage their fertility, from puberty through to menopause, and adapt to the different needs of the various times of their life, without recourse to devices or drugs.
No More Heart Disease by Dr Louis Ignarro
Dr. Louis Ignarro discovered "the atom" of cardiovascular health--a tiny molecule called Nitric Oxide. NO, as it is known by chemists, is a signaling molecule produced by the body, and is a vasodilator that helps control blood flow to every part of the body. Dr. Ignarro's findings led to the development of Viagra. Nitric Oxide has a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system as well.
NO relaxes and enlarges the blood vessels, prevents blood clots that trigger strokes and heart attacks, and regulates blood pressure and the accumulation of plaque in the blood vessels. Dr. Ignarro's current research indicates that Nitric Oxide may help lower cholesterol by facilitating the actions of statin drugs like Lipitor.
The goal of the regimen presented in NO More Heart Disease is to age proof the cardiovascular system, keeping the vascular network clean and elastic through enhanced NO productivity. The plan is easy-to-follow without extreme lifestyle adjustments, involving taking supplements to stimulate Nitric Oxide production, incorporating NO friendly food into the diet, and a moderate exercise program.
One Bite at a Time by Sarah Lantz & Tabitha McIntosh
In the book, One Bite at a Time: Reduce Toxic Exposure and Eat the World you Want, authors Tabitha McIntosh and Dr. Sarah Lantz offer a better understanding of consumer and industrial chemicals and their impact on the human body – and importantly, the concrete steps needed to both reduce toxic exposure and build body resiliency.
It’s in the later – build body resiliency – where the focus of the book really takes shape. Food is our focus here. Why? Firstly, conscious food choices can significantly reduce (or eliminate) toxic exposure; secondly, particular food components can build body resiliency against toxic exposure; and thirdly, food choices can provide a high ground of ethics with systemic solutions to the issue of human and environmental toxicity and pollution.
Across Australia there are some significant movements and ethical businesses sprouting up and pushing back in response to the industrial food industry. And in this book you are going to hear from those heroes of our food world – producers, farmers, pickers packers, bakers, makers, researchers, food writers and bloggers – people taking matter into their own hands and creating happier, heartier, healthier solutions for other Australians. Ultimately, food(more...)
