Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We are what we eat". But do we know what to eat? Why do we depend on another to select the food that "our" body needs? We are meticulous with our dressing, hairstyle, shoes and makeup but we surrender the choices of our food to someone else. Food is life itself, yet no importance is given to what we eat. When making food choices, we need to select foods that will help us evolve into a higher state of consciousness. Can someone else really do this for us? Food has become the "by the way thing" - "by the way, what's for lunch?", by the way, where are we going for lunch?" and "by the way, can we grab something for lunch?" The energy from the food we eat is used for the greater goodness that is meant. We have become money rich and food poor. Simple straightforward, inexpensive, total food holds magnificent health benefits. This book shows us the art of recognizing such magnificence that leaves us healthier, happier and wiser. Food was created for us and not manufactured by someone. Eating is the only thing that keeps us in harmony with nature. Otherwise we will subconsciously dwell in a manmade environment.

Book Natural Causes

    Book Details:
  • Author : Barbara Ehrenreich
  • Publisher : Twelve
  • Release : 2018-04-10
  • ISBN : 1455535885
  • Pages : 218 pages

Download or read book Natural Causes written by Barbara Ehrenreich and published by Twelve. This book was released on 2018-04-10 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the celebrated author of Nickel and Dimed, Barbara Ehrenreich explores how we are killing ourselves to live longer, not better. A razor-sharp polemic which offers an entirely new understanding of our bodies, ourselves, and our place in the universe, Natural Causes describes how we over-prepare and worry way too much about what is inevitable. One by one, Ehrenreich topples the shibboleths that guide our attempts to live a long, healthy life -- from the importance of preventive medical screenings to the concepts of wellness and mindfulness, from dietary fads to fitness culture. But Natural Causes goes deeper -- into the fundamental unreliability of our bodies and even our "mind-bodies," to use the fashionable term. Starting with the mysterious and seldom-acknowledged tendency of our own immune cells to promote deadly cancers, Ehrenreich looks into the cellular basis of aging, and shows how little control we actually have over it. We tend to believe we have agency over our bodies, our minds, and even over the manner of our deaths. But the latest science shows that the microscopic subunits of our bodies make their own "decisions," and not always in our favor. We may buy expensive anti-aging products or cosmetic surgery, get preventive screenings and eat more kale, or throw ourselves into meditation and spirituality. But all these things offer only the illusion of control. How to live well, even joyously, while accepting our mortality -- that is the vitally important philosophical challenge of this book. Drawing on varied sources, from personal experience and sociological trends to pop culture and current scientific literature, Natural Causes examines the ways in which we obsess over death, our bodies, and our health. Both funny and caustic, Ehrenreich then tackles the seemingly unsolvable problem of how we might better prepare ourselves for the end -- while still reveling in the lives that remain to us.

Book Natural Health  Natural Medicine

Download or read book Natural Health Natural Medicine written by Andrew Weil and published by HMH. This book was released on 2004-12-09 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A valuable health resource from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Natural Mind and Spontaneous Happiness. “Dr. Andrew Weil is an extraordinary phenomenon,” says the Washington Post. And indeed, this expert in healthy living, alternative healing, and the mind-body connection has helped millions of people find relief from what ails them. Called “the bible of natural medicine” by Larry Dossey, MD, Natural Health, Natural Medicine is a comprehensive resource for everything you need to know to maintain optimum health and treat common conditions. This landmark book incorporates Dr. Weil’s theories into one useful and readable reference, featuring general diet and nutrition information as well as simple recipes, answers to readers’ most pressing questions, a catalogue of over a hundred home remedies, and numerous practical tips. This new edition includes updated scientific findings—and has been expanded to provide trustworthy advice about low-carb diets, hormone replacement therapy, Alzheimer’s, attention deficit disorder, reflux disease, autism, type 2 diabetes, erectile dysfunction, the flu, and much more. “Weil, a Harvard Medical School graduate and a member of the advisory panel for the Congressional Study of Alternative Cancer Therapies, advocates preventative health maintenance as a means of combating future painful and expensive therapies. The handbook proposes methods of creating a healthy lifestyle, offers advice on guarding against potentially fatal diseases, provides information on natural treatments, and recommends these treatments for specific common ailments. Controversial in its challenge of orthodox medicine, the manual stands out as a useful resource for its clear, concise writing style, its practical advice, and its thoughtful examination of the important issues facing contemporary health care.” —Library Journal
