This book was released on with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you struggled to lose weight or just want to become healthier and improve your life? There are countless diets out there claiming to help people lose weight, gain the body of their dreams, and attain health. The truth is that these diets are simple fads with little science to back them up. Fad diets such as these have people giving up fats, carbs, and a number of other foods or entire food groups. The Western world has been taught that being on a diet means restricting oneself. However, life doesn’t have to be this way. In fact, it shouldn’t be this way. The Mediterranean diet is an answer to these problems. While it may be called a diet, it is an entire lifestyle. Unlike fad diets, which have only been around for a short time, the Mediterranean diet is the eating style people throughout Mediterranean countries have lived on for centuries. This lifestyle has been tested and proven through time to be effective and maintainable. Not only that, but numerous studies have been conducted on this way of eating—all of which have found it to be beneficial. While other books may try to sell you a quick scheme to lose weight, the Mediterranean diet doesn’t make false promises. You may not lose weight as quickly as you would with a crash or fad diet, but the weight you lose on the Mediterranean diet will stay off unlike with those other ones. All too often, after quitting an un-maintainable crash diet, a person gains back more weight than they lost and are only left with an added five pounds and a damaged metabolism. The same is not true of the Mediterranean diet. Over time, you will slowly achieve the weight loss you hope for—but more importantly, you will gain improved health. Through this book, you will learn how to easily follow the Mediterranean diet to successfully reach your goals. You can learn the science and history behind the Mediterranean diet in an easy-to-understand manner, gaining helpful insight into this centuries-long lifestyle. In this book, you will find: ⦁ The deep and varied history of the Mediterranean diet. ⦁ How Dr. Keys developed the Mediterranean diet plan for better health. ⦁ An in-depth look into the science behind the Mediterranean diet and why it works so well. ⦁ The many health benefits of going Mediterranean—including weight loss, heart health, reduced cancer risk, and more. ⦁ How you can start your weight loss journey on the Mediterranean diet. ⦁ Adopting the Mediterranean diet easily with simple-to-follow steps. ⦁ The Mediterranean food pyramid and the healthy foods it contains. ⦁ Answers to frequently asked questions. ⦁ A two-week menu plan complete with breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner ideas to get you started. ⦁ And more...

Download or read book The Anti Inflammatory Action Plan written by Barbara Rowe and published by Crestline Books. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Anti-Inflammatory Action Plan is your guide to understanding inflammation and how you can incorporate anti-inflammatory foods into your everyday diet. Cut your finger accidentally and the area will swell, redden, and heat up. This type of acute inflammatory response is the body's reaction to trauma, and it's an essential part of the healing process. But inflammation can be harmful when it hangs around too long and refuses to leave. When the inflammation switch refuses to turn off, the body operates as if it is always under attack (the older we get, the more likely this is to happen). White blood cells flood the system for weeks, months, and even years. Researchers are now linking low-grade, persistent inflammation to premature aging, heart disease, M.S., diabetes, Alzheimer's, psoriasis, arthritis, and cancer. While anti-inflammatory drugs do exist, they can injure the stomach or suppress the immune system. Fortunately, the situation can be remedied by a change in diet, specifically by altering the kinds of fats you eat. Omega-3 fatty acids tend to decrease inflammation while omega-6 fats and trans-fats increase inflammation. While many foods in the standard American diet (unrefined white flour, sugar, red meat, dairy, fast food, and food additives) exacerbate inflammation, a healthy diet made up of fish, nuts, seeds, oils, lean grass-fed meats, and fruits and vegetables can help lessen or prevent inflammation. Likewise, certain spices such as turmeric, cloves, and ginger have proven anti-inflammatory properties. Reduce and prevent inflammation with these delicious dishes: Pecan Date Bread with Currants Southern Spiced Peaches Black Bean Burritos with Avocado and Mango Caramelized Onion Pizza with Basil and Pine Nuts Thai-Style Fish and Seafood Chowder Citrus Pecan Chicken Salad Dark Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake
