Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A silent killer is diabetes, unknown to many of us who live with it. Therefore, we do not take this disease seriously. Only when diabetes complications persist we become concerned and worried. Often, in times of panic, we turn to glamorous products and services that promise quick fixes. Many times, even after investing a lot of money and time, no results are achieved. The truth is that, if we want to help ourselves, we can certainly do so without anyone's assurances or false promises in managing diabetes. Based on this premise, the author in this book uses his academic and research background, the latest information, and his real-life experience to provide knowledge and understanding that will help us effectively manage diabetes. We may find managing diabetes on our own to be a daunting task, but the author gives us useful tips we may not have heard before that can help transform our lives into a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling one. We can also benefit from this book if we have not yet fallen into the diabetes trap, but are at risk for it due to our overweight.

Download or read book Syndrome X written by Terry Kirsten Strom and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2002-02-28 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of Americans follow the "best" medical advice every day to prevent heart attacks -- eating the standard low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet so widely recommended by doctors -- but in fact they are placing themselves at greater risk for heart disease. In Syndrome X: Overcoming the Silent Killer That Can Give You a Heart Attack, Dr. Gerald Reaven, the world-renowned physician who identified and named this silent killer, explains why the standard heart-healthy diet can be dangerous and lays out a simple six-step program to reduce the risk of heart disease for everyone. The problem stems from a little-known cluster of metabolic abnormalities known as Syndrome X. The insulin resistance that lies at the heart of the syndrome can turn normal rules of good health upside down and dramatically increase the risk of heart disease. Fortunately, Syndrome X can be cured. This important book explains how to identify the disorder and provides a program of diet and exercise (plus medication when necessary) that can render Syndrome X harmless. Tested in carefully controlled research settings and in practice, this remarkable new approach has the ability to reduce the risk of heart attacks and heart disease for all of us. Dr. Reaven shows how eating a diet relatively high in "good" fats (40 percent of calories) can dramatically lower the risk of heart disease if you have Syndrome X. The approach seems paradoxical: Everyone "knows" that fat is bad, so how can more fat possibly lead to better health? The answer lies in the type of fat and the body chemistry of the people who consume it. If you have the abnormal metabolism called Syndrome X, eating a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet to lower your LDL and blood fats won't protect you. In fact, doing so will increase the odds of heart disease. Millions of Americans have the potentially deadly, yet easily identifiable signs of Syndrome X -- but few cases are detected in time, because most physicians don't know what to look for. This trailblazing book will change that, making doctors and patients aware of the problem -- and its easy solution, an integrated program of diet and exercise that simultaneously reduces all the risk factors for heart disease, including Syndrome X. Dr. Reaven's discovery of Syndrome X has shown us that the standard approach to preventing heart disease is dangerous for many of us. Now, his safe, proven new approach explains how millions can drastically reduce their risk of heart disease. His program works not only for those who have Syndrome X, but also for anyone who simply wants to reduce the risk of heart disease.

Download or read book Evidence Based Public Health written by and Director of the Prevention Research Center Ross C. Brownson Professor of Epidemiology and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2002-09-19 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ideally, public health practitioners always incorporate scientific evidence in making management decisions, developing policies, and implementing programs. In reality, however, these decisions are often based on short-term demands rather than long-term study, and policies and programs are sometimes developed from anecdotal evidence. To enhance evidence-based practice, this book provides practical guidance on how to choose, carry out, and evaluate evidence-based programs and policies in public health settings. It deals not only with finding and using scientific evidence, but also with implementing and evaluating interventions that generate new evidence on effectiveness. Because all these topics are broad and require multi-disciplinary skills and perspectives, each chapter covers the basic issues and provides multiple examples to illustrate important concepts. The book presents a sequential framework for addressing public health issues that includes developing an initial statement of the issue, quantifying the issue, searching the scientific literature and organizing information, developing and prioritizing program options, developing an action plan and implementing interventions, and evaluating the program or policy.
