Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER A smart, research-driven case for why optimism, kindness, and strong social networks will help us live to 100. From the day her daughter was born, science journalist Marta Zaraska fretted about what she and her family were eating. She fasted, considered adopting the keto diet, and ran a half-marathon. She bought goji berries and chia seeds and ate organic food. But then her research brought her to read countless scientific papers and to interview dozens of experts in various fields of study, including molecular biochemistry, epidemiology and neuroscience. What Marta discovered shattered her long-held beliefs about aging and longevity. A strong support network of family and friends, she learned, lowers mortality risk by about 45 percent, while exercise only lowers it by about 23 percent. Volunteering your free time lowers it by 22 percent or so, while certain health fads like turmeric haven't been shown to help at all. These revelations led Marta Zaraska to a simple conclusion: In addition to healthy nutrition and physical activity, deepening friendships, practicing empathy and contemplating your purpose in life can improve your lifespan. Through eleven chapters that take her around the world, from catching wild mice in the woods of central England to flower arranging with octogenarians in Japan, from laboratories to "hugging centres," Marta embarks on an absorbing, entertaining and insightful journey to determine the habits that will have the greatest impact on our longevity. Deeply researched and expertly reported, Growing Young will dramatically change the way you seek a longer, happier life.

Download or read book Eat and Grow Younger written by Lelord Kordel and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eat and Grow Younger, first published in 1952, is a classic guide to healthier, more vital living by Lelord Kordel (1904-2001), noted author and nutritionist. Lelord was an early advocate of diets rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, while reducing the consumption of starchy and sugary foods. From the publisher: If old age with its hardened arteries, diminishing energy and other depressing symptoms has seemed inevitable to you, this book will make you change your mind. No one needs to grow old prematurely, says Lelord Kordel, and this new book on nutrition proves that old age can be postponed. By following the simple dietary suggestions given here, you, too, can stay young. Premature old age is a deficiency disease as real as pellagra or scurvy. People look and act old long before they should simply because they've been existing on an improper diet. Lelord Kordel's informative text is exactly why the wrong kind of diet can make you look older than you are. Then he provides you with an eat-and-grow-younger program, complete with sample diets and recipes, expressly planned to keep your vital organs healthy and in good repair. These recipes are appetizing and easy to prepare. Also included are sample diets for gaining and losing weight, and tables of protein values for over 150 common -- and palatable -- foods.

Download or read book Heaven on Earth written by Sharifa Oppenheimer and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 2006-08 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 6 lectures and an essay, 1919-1920 (CW 297) World War I destroyed the structures, values, and self-confidence that created the seeming greatness of the nineteenth century. In its place stood ruins and the shards of a civilization. In response to this, Emil Molt--the director of the Waldorf-Astoria Cigarette Factory and a student of Rudolf Steiner--decided to establish a school to educate people who could create a new culture. Thus, the Waldorf school movement was begun. Rudolf Steiner agreed to act as the school's consultant, and his insights guided the school in accomplishing this ambitious task. The goal of this education was that, through living inner work guided by the insights of Rudolf Steiner, the teachers would develop in the children such power of thought, depth of feeling, and strength of will that they would emerge from their school years as full members of the human community, able to meet and transform the world. These lectures occurred around the opening of the first Waldorf school. They serve as an excellent, inspiring introduction to Waldorf education as a whole. Here Steiner outlines--with freshness, immediacy, and excitement--the goals and intentions of a new form of education and speaks to parents of prospective students. He explains the school's guiding principles and describes how parents must participate, with understanding and interest, in the awakening of their children's creative forces so that a healthier society can come about. German sources: Die Waldorfschule und ihr Geist (GA 297); "Die pädagogische Zielsetzung der Waldorfschule in Stuttgart," from Soziale Zukunft, Feb. 1920 (GA 24).
