Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 2012 New York Times Notable Book A 2013 Los Angeles Times Book Award Winner in the Science & Technology category An engaging narrative about an incredible, life-giving organ and its imperiled modern fate. Did you know that breast milk contains substances similar to cannabis? Or that it’s sold on the Internet for 262 times the price of oil? Feted and fetishized, the breast is an evolutionary masterpiece. But in the modern world, the breast is changing. Breasts are getting bigger, arriving earlier, and attracting newfangled chemicals. Increasingly, the odds are stacked against us in the struggle with breast cancer, even among men. What makes breasts so mercurial—and so vulnerable? In this informative and highly entertaining account, intrepid science reporter Florence Williams sets out to uncover the latest scientific findings from the fields of anthropology, biology, and medicine. Her investigation follows the life cycle of the breast from puberty to pregnancy to menopause, taking her from a plastic surgeon’s office where she learns about the importance of cup size in Texas to the laboratory where she discovers the presence of environmental toxins in her own breast milk. The result is a fascinating exploration of where breasts came from, where they have ended up, and what we can do to save them.

Download or read book Power Healing written by Leo Galland, M.D. and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-02-02 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Leo Galland, along with Doctors Bernie Siegel and Andrew Weil, has been a pioneer in the emerging field of integrated medicine, which combines the best of alternative and conventional treatments. He is also a renowned medical detective, successfully curing patients whose illnesses have defied prior diagnosis and treatment. In Power Healing, Dr. Galland shares his breakthrough medical philosophy and program of healing, developed over the course of three decades of education and practice. He explains how you can apply four healing strategies that will help your body restore its own rightful balance and health: 1) build healthy relationships—community is the most powerful healing force; 2) create a customized prescription for diet, rest, and exercise; 3) purify your external environment; and 4) detoxify your internal environment to help your body protect and cleanse itself. Included for the first time in this edition is a dynamic new questionnaire Dr. Galland has created to help you hone in on your medical priorities. Filled with practical advice on detecting unsuspected causes of our sickness, building resistance to disease, and harnessing our own bodies’ natural desire to heal, Dr. Galland’s innovative book represents mind/body medicine at its best. For those whose illnesses haven’t responded to treatment or resist diagnoses, or for anyone who craves a higher level of health, Power Healing is essential reading. Praise for Power Healing “If I were to get sick, this is the doctor I would go to see and the book I would read.”—Robert C. Atkins, M.D., author of Dr. Atkins’ Vita-Nutrient Solution “A triumph. The most comprehensive book I have ever seen about promoting all aspects of wellness. Well organized, easy to read, and suitable for the layperson and health professional alike.”—Total Health “Dr. Galland’s invaluable advice has been a great help to me. I’m delighted that others will at last have the benefit of his wisdom in their search for healing.”—Carol Burnett “The medicine of the future will embrace and integrate the best of conventional and alternative approaches to health and healing. Dr. Galland makes a compelling argument that sickness is most effectively treated when the particular needs and underling psychological, emotional, and environmental issues are addressed.”—Dean Ornish, M.D.

Download or read book Nutrition and Behavior written by Robin B. Kanarek and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-29 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the past decade there has been a veritable explosion of interest in the relationship between food and human behavior. It seems that there is an insatiable desire to find connections between what we eat and what we do. A clear example of this is the proliferation of books, magazine and newspaper articles, and television and radio programs devoted to the topic. More important, however, is the increased attention the scientific community is giving to the study of nutrition and behavior as evidenced by the growth of research, the development of undergraduate and graduate programs, and the number of scientific conferences addressing the prob lems in this area. The burgeoning scientific interest in this field makes it a very appropriate time for this book. The principal goal of Nutrition and Behavior: New Perspectives is to provide a comprehensive examination of the scientific evidence dealing with relationships between nutritional variables and behavior. Although findings in research using experimental animals will be introduced, the primary emphasis will be on investigating the nutrition-behavior relation ship in our own species. The first chapter provides a historical introduction to the area and examines the techniques used in the scientific assessment of nutrition and behavior. This material gives the reader the necessary background to place recent research on nutrition and behavior within a wider perspective and to evaluate its reliability and validity.
