Download or read book Thinfluence written by Walter Willett and published by Rodale Books. This book was released on 2014-05-13 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tackling a weight problem is often viewed as a personal responsibility that requires making healthier choices. The latest research, however, shows that external factors—from family and friendships to advertising and the workplace environment—make an equal, if not greater, contribution. Just look at the stats: A person's chance of becoming obese increases by 57 percent if a close friend is obese, 40 percent if a sibling is obese, and 37 percent if a spouse is obese. That's where Thinfluence comes in. Through a research-based examination of various social, environmental, and policy-based issues, renowned Harvard researchers Dr. Walter Willett and Dr. Malissa Wood examine how relationships, workplace, media, and other factors are affecting readers' weights. Thinfluence doesn't tell readers to ditch their friends and family, change jobs, or move to another state. It offers a clear three-step action plan—analyze, act, influence—for readers to identify hidden factors affecting weight, develop a personal toolbox to combat external effects, and become positive influences on others around them.

People today are trying to make their marriages work over longer lives than ever before. But staying married isn’t always easy. In the brilliant, transformative, and optimistic The Rough Patch, clinical psychologist Daphne de Marneffe explores the extraordinary pushes and pulls of midlife marriage, where our need to develop as individuals can crash headlong into the demands of our relationships. “A book of good intentions and helpful advice and a worthy manual for spouses” (Kirkus Reviews), The Rough Patch addresses common problems: money, alcohol and drugs, the stresses of parenthood, sex, extramarital affairs, lovesickness, health, aging, children leaving home, and dealing with elderly parents. Then, de Marneffe offers seasoned wisdom on these difficulties, explaining the psychological, emotional, and relational capacities we must cultivate to overcome them as individuals and as couples. Blending research, interviews, and clinical experience, de Marneffe dives deep into the workings of love and the structures of relationships. Intimate and always illuminating, The Rough Patch is an essential, compassionate resource for people trying to understand “where they are” on the continuum of marriage, giving them a chance to share in other people’s stories and struggles. “De Marneffe writes with poetry, wit, and compassion about the necessity of struggle in the quest for true love. Anyone in any relationship at any stage of life could stand to learn from the wisdom in these pages” (Andrew Solomon, National Book Award-winning author of Far from the Tree).
Download or read book Keep The Sparks Alive By Using Plain Common Sense written by Lovia Joann Pitts and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to help couples to value and appreciate what he or she has. For years women were taught to downplay their sexuality and femininity. This false image of being a good girl or to being a devoted Christian caused numerous women to downplay their intimate desires towards their spouse. However, some teachings provided were not accurate information. My goal is to empower women to know it is okay to embrace their sexuality and creative skills to obtain knowledge. God s Woman could be the PTA president, a sexy and classy woman and a committed dedicated wife that knows who she is. A male could show their emotions and still be masculine. We believe a marriage could be compared to a diligent farmer and gardener who care for a beautiful harvest that reaps a bountiful harvest in contrast to a gardener and farmer who is neglectful that does very little work yet expects a bountiful harvest, watch it deteriorate. Just as a rose garden in its beauty has to be watered, nurtured, cultivated and pruned in order to reap the results of a beautiful garden so it is with one s marriage. This book also contains a list of questions that should be asked during the dating stage when the couple believes their relationship is growing to a higher level of commitment. The practical common sense tips in this book are nothing new. They are plain common sense steps, which needs to be implemented by each mate. Your marriage will be no more or no less than what each individual is willing to make it. Viewing one another as being on, the same winning team is paramount. We recognize our differences, but instead of seeing them as negatives, we hold dear to them as being positive factors that contributes creativity to our marriage. We build upon one another strong points. We do not claim to have a perfect marriage whereby we can say that we never had an argument or said words that we had to ask forgiveness for, however, we continue to grow and learn from challenges and turned them into triumphs. Peace, Unity and Love.

Download or read book Wheat Belly written by William Davis and published by Rodale Books. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes a sneak peek of Undoctored—the new book from Dr. Davis! In this #1 New York Times bestseller, a renowned cardiologist explains how eliminating wheat from our diets can prevent fat storage, shrink unsightly bulges, and reverse myriad health problems. Every day, over 200 million Americans consume food products made of wheat. As a result, over 100 million of them experience some form of adverse health effect, ranging from minor rashes and high blood sugar to the unattractive stomach bulges that preventive cardiologist William Davis calls "wheat bellies." According to Davis, that excess fat has nothing to do with gluttony, sloth, or too much butter: It's due to the whole grain wraps we eat for lunch. After witnessing over 2,000 patients regain their health after giving up wheat, Davis reached the disturbing conclusion that wheat is the single largest contributor to the nationwide obesity epidemic—and its elimination is key to dramatic weight loss and optimal health. In Wheat Belly, Davis exposes the harmful effects of what is actually a product of genetic tinkering and agribusiness being sold to the American public as "wheat"—and provides readers with a user-friendly, step-by-step plan to navigate a new, wheat-free lifestyle. Informed by cutting-edge science and nutrition, along with case studies from men and women who have experienced life-changing transformations in their health after waving goodbye to wheat, Wheat Belly is an illuminating look at what is truly making Americans sick and an action plan to clear our plates of this seemingly benign ingredient.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of fitness and body composition standards in the U.S. Armed Forces has always been to select individuals best suited to the physical demands of military service, based on the assumption that proper body weight and composition supports good health, physical fitness, and appropriate military appearance. The current epidemic of overweight and obesity in the United States affects the military services. The pool of available recruits is reduced because of failure to meet body composition standards for entry into the services and a high percentage of individuals exceeding military weight-for-height standards at the time of entry into the service leave the military before completing their term of enlistment. To aid in developing strategies for prevention and remediation of overweight in military personnel, the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command requested the Committee on Military Nutrition Research to review the scientific evidence for: factors that influence body weight, optimal components of a weight loss and weight maintenance program, and the role of gender, age, and ethnicity in weight management.
