Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world that is forever changing and growing industrially, economically, environmentally, educationally, technologically, and medically, we need to become informed and stay updated on properly caring for our individual health needs and well-being.There is a plethora of harmful factors we are unaware of affecting us daily, creating more oxidative stress, hence depleting and compromising our immune systems. Oxidative stress is a constant force in our everyday lives. When our bodies can handle and adapt effectively to the oxidative stressors, we become stronger and healthier. However, when the stressors overwhelm our bodies, we are unable to adjust, making us weaker and sicker. Elevated oxidative stress is the major factor in degenerative diseases such as cancer, heart disease, chronic fatigue syndrome and neurodegenerative diseases. Knowledge on how to remain healthy in a society riddled with sickness and disease, is an invaluable and vital tool. Obtaining that knowledge, although often a difficult, time consuming process, is absolutely essential. That is why I have compiled a book of crucial information you can apply to your everyday life. Once you become aware of the harmful effects from the pollutants in the air, water, soil, food, and products, you can implement the changes necessary to restore balance and your health.

Download or read book Healthy Living in a Toxic World written by Mel Tavares and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-03-09 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am not skinny. There. That is out in the open. I am also not a marathon runner. I don't have a degree in nutrition. I am just an ordinary person, who did extensive research in an effort to figure out how to live healthy in this toxic world. I did not set out to write a book on the topic of healthy eating and living. I set out on this journey, in search of answers to why my own health was so poor and declining by the month. I grew up living rural. I have a degree in Horticulture/Agriculture, which I used professionally and personally. I was even certified to use Round-Up for the commercial and personal farming I did. In doing so I unwittingly contributed to the whole GMO nightmare. I was uneducated, as it turns out. Once I began researching for answers to my own issues, I was stunned. While this book is by no means an exhaustive book on the topic, it contains truth and insight regarding our toxic world and how to stay healthy while living in it. The truths within this book are applicable to people in every country around the world. It crosses all ethnic and socio-economic barriers and gives bottom line information to the reader. As I said, I have taken hundreds of hours to synthesize several hundred books and sites I have read. While the book may seem short and simplistic, the research behind it is anything but simplistic. Balance is the keyword. I am giving you the information, but realize that it would be a quantum leap for many to go from where you are now to 100% all using natural, totally certified organic products and practicing green living. The more urban of an area you live in, the more challenging it is going to be to live healthy in this toxic world. I am not there yet, and I realize the impossibility of getting to that point in the immediate future. I am, however, sure that I can continue to make changes in that direction. So can you.

Download or read book Toxic Positivity written by Whitney Goodman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2024-04-02 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful guide to owning our emotions—even the difficult ones—in order to show up authentically in the world, from the popular therapist behind the Instagram account @sitwithwhit. Every day, we’re bombarded with pressure to be positive. From “good vibes only” and “life is good” memes, to endless reminders to “look on the bright side,” we’re constantly told that the key to happiness is silencing negativity wherever it crops up—in ourselves and in others. Even when faced with illness, loss, breakups, and other challenges, there’s little space for talking about our real feelings—and processing them so that we can feel better and move forward. But if non-stop positivity is the answer, why are so many of us anxious, depressed, and burned out? In this refreshingly honest guide, sought-after therapist Whitney Goodman shares the latest research along with everyday examples and client stories that reveal how damaging toxic positivity is to ourselves and our relationships, and presents simple ways to experience and work through difficult emotions. The result is more authenticity, connection, and growth—and ultimately, a path to showing up as you truly are.
