Health: Diets and nutrition Books

Book SynopsisAs anyone who has ever been on a diet knows, they simply don''t work. No one can diet indefinitely and, once you stop, the weight simply piles back on.

It introduces you to practical techniques that you can apply in your daily life; it shows you how to set your own limits without feeling deprived and becoming rebellious; and it gives you the ability to develop greater control by helping you to overcome addictive behaviour. So simply follow Eating Less and see your weight fall off and stay off.''Eating Less is likely to succeed where diet books fail.

Book SynopsisThe Soldiers' Tale is the story of modern wars as told by the men who did the actual fighting. Hynes examines the journals, memoirs, and letters of men who fought in the two World Wars and in Vietnam, and also the wars fought against the weak and helpless in concentration camps, prisoner-of-war camps, and bombed cities. Interweaving his own reflections on war with brilliantly chosen passages from soldiers' accounts, he offers vivid answers to the question we all ask of men who have fought: What was it like? In these powerful pages the experiences of modern war, which seem unimaginable to those who weren't there, become comprehensible and real. The wide range of writers examined includes both famous literary memoirists like Robert Graves, Tim O'Brien, and Elie Wiesel, and unknown soldiers who wrote only their war stories. Using these testimonies, Hynes considers each war in terms of its special circumstances and its effects on men who fought. His und

Book SynopsisMichael Pollan''s In Defence of Food is a simple invitation to junk the science, ditch the diet and instead rediscover the joys of eating well. This book is a celebration of food. By food, Michael Pollan means real, proper, simple food - not the kind that comes in a packet, or has lists of unpronounceable ingredients, or that makes nutritional claims about how healthy it is. More like the kind of food your great-grandmother would recognize. By following a few pieces of advice (Eat at a table - a desk doesn''t count. Don''t buy food where you''d buy your petrol!), you will enrich your life and your palate, and enlarge your sense of what it means to be healthy and happy. It''s time to fall in love with food again.

Book SynopsisThe groundbreaking science behind the surprising source of good health Stanford University’s Justin and Erica Sonnenburg are pioneers in the most exciting and potentially transformative field of human health and wellness, the study of the relationship between our bodies and the trillions of organisms representing thousands of species to which our bodies play host, the microbes we call the microbiota. The Sonnenburgs argue that the microbiota determines in no small part whether we’re sick or healthy, fit or obese, sunny or moody—and that the microbiota has always been with us, coevolving with humans and entwining its functions with ours. They show us that humans are really composite organisms with microbial and human parts. But now, because of changes to diet, antibiotic over-use, and over-sterilization, our gut microbiota is facing a “mass extinction event,” which may explain the mysterious spike in some of our most troubling modern afflicti

Book Synopsis#1 New York Times Bestseller from the author of This is Your Mind on Plants, How to Change Your Mind, The Omnivore's Dilemma, and Food Rules Food. There's plenty of it around, and we all love to eat it. So why should anyone need to defend it? Because in the so-called Western diet, food has been replaced by nutrients, and common sense by confusion--most of what we’re consuming today is longer the product of nature but of food science. The result is what Michael Pollan calls the American Paradox: The more we worry about nutrition, the less healthy we see to become. With In Defense of Food, Pollan proposes a new (and very old) answer to the question of what we should eat that comes down to seven simple but liberating words: Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. Pollan’s bracing and eloquent manifesto shows us how we can start making thoughtful food choices that will enrich our lives, enlarge our sense of what it means

Book SynopsisSugar.

Book SynopsisA lively discussion of soy production and consumptionTrade Review“The World of Soy escorts readers on an unexpected but delightfully fascinating journey through the subject of soy as a food. . . . Recommended.”--Choice"Du Bois, Tan, and Mintz have done an excellent job combining a series of chapters from diverse authors into a seamless read. The World of Soy provides an informative account of a legume equally ancient and modern."--Science“Measured in cash terms, soy (Glycine max) is in some ways the most important crop, and in terms of imports and exports, second only to wheat. The fact that this important book has contributions by seventeen authors reflects more than the circumstances of its origins in a couple of academic conferences; it also shows the vastness of the topic and the large number of disciplines required to make sense of it. . . . [This] exemplary, comprehensive volume shows the way to frame the crucial questions of food studies. “--Times Literary Supplement“The chapters in The World of Soy are remarkably informative and contribute greatly to our understanding of this food that maintains multiple identities and meanings across the world.”--Society for the Anthropology of Food and Nutrition“Knowledge provided in the chapters and the large and fantastic reference set are gems shining for us all.”--Flavor and Fortune“All food-studies theorists and practitioners will find plenty to entice them in the historical and ethnographic chapters, which offer sweeping but detailed evidence-based culinary histories and geographies, plus step-by-step recipes for the transformation of soy into so many cultural products.”--Gastronomica"An important book, with implications for food policy, everyday food choices, and the comparative understanding of dietary change. It is a major contribution to food studies and to the anthropology of food."--Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute"A rich introduction to the varied uses--past, present, and future--of this underappreciated yet ubiquitous foodstuff. Drawing on an astounding variety of backgrounds and disciplines, this volume amply shows why the soybean is the staple ingredient in both traditional and modern cuisines, as well as the most important agricultural commodity in the global food system."--Warren Belasco, author of Meals to Come: A History of the Future of Food "This enjoyable work provides readers with an overview of the history of modern as well as traditional soy food products. It also points out roadblocks to improving nutritional standards of populations abroad through the introduction of soybean foods. The World of Soy will be extremely informative to groups such as food companies, chefs, and international agencies seeking to expand the uses of soybeans."--Theodore Hymowitz, emeritus professor of plant genetics, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and author of Pedigrees of soybean cultivars released in the United States and Canada "What a marvelous, multifaceted work! As varied as the foodstuffs that derive from the bean itself--pungent fermented miso paste; nutty kinako toasted soy flour; delicate, shirred sheets of yuba soymilk; silken cubes of tofu custard; stinky and sticky natto beans--the essays and studies in The World of Soy provide readers with savory, rich, piquant, tangy, and spicy approaches to understanding and appreciating the global importance of soy."--Elizabeth Andoh, author of Washoku: Recipes from the Japanese Home Kitchen "This book is a major contribution to the literature on world crops. An up-to-date review of this vitally important food has long been needed, and The World of Soy fills the need with outstanding success. Particularly detailed and notably valuable are the accounts of currently produced soyfoods and how they are changing with new technology worldwide."--E. N. Anderson, author of Everyone Eats: Understanding Food and Culture "The story of soy encompasses every aspect of food and globalization, and The World of Soy takes us on an illuminating journey from the simple pleasures of home-cooking to the stark realities of mass industrial farming and food processing. This skillfully assembled collection should be at the core of every food studies curriculum."--Richard Wilk, professor and director of the food studies program at Indiana University, author of Home Cooking in the Global VillageTable of ContentsAcknowledgments vii Introduction: The Significance of Soy 1Sidney W.

Book Synopsis A world-renowned researcher and physician offers a groundbreaking approach to identifying an entire spectrum of food-related health conditions, from allergies to sensitivities, and what we can do about them. A breathtaking one in five people in the U.S. has a health condition related to food—from disruptive sensitivities and intolerances to serious allergic reactions that can send them to the ER. These food-related problems are on a historic rise across all ages. And the spectrum of these ailments is wide and deep, with many tricky “masqueraders” in the mix to create a lot of confusion, potential misdiagnoses, and faulty or poor treatment—and immeasurable suffering for millions of people. The good news: Dr. Ruchi Gupta, on the front lines of this silent epidemic, now shares revolutionary research from her lab and clinical practice. In Food Without Fear, Dr. Gupta illuminates this misunderstood spectrum and offers a new approach to managing adverse reactions to food with a practical plan to end the misery and enjoy eating with ease.   This panoramic view empowers you to know what questions to ask your doctor to get the correct diagnosis. From debunking common myths (an allergy and an intolerance aren’t the same thing—but both can have life-threatening consequences) to identifying masqueraders, to understanding triggers (including environmental factors), as well as the microbiome’s role in adverse food reactions, these pages hold the answers. Using a framework of Identify and Empower, Treat, Manage and Prevent, and Thrive, Food Without Fear offers hope, help—and food freedom—to the millions of people who so need it. Developed by world-renowned researcher Dr. Ruchi Gupta, this revolutionary spectrum approach empowers and informs so you can take charge of your health.

Book SynopsisYou can blame gluten, lack of exercise, or hormones for a number of our most common maladies, but the truth is, there''s often one big, overlooked culprit: dehydration. Humans are 65% water. So when we''re dehydrated, our body starts to slowly shut down, causing the headaches, fatigue, joint paint, weight gain, and even some autoimmune disorders that we often attribute to other causes.Using revolutionary research from the University of Washington''s Pollack Water Lab, hydration experts Dr. Dana Cohen and Gina Bria bring you a new plan for optimal hydration--and it isn''t just about drinking enough water. In fact, starting with their 5-day jump start, Cohen and Bria introduce you to the three cardinal rules of hydration:1. Drink for Maximum Absorption: Hydrate in the morning and before meals. Drinking just water can wash out other important nutrients and electrolytes, so incorporate salt, lemon, and green smoothies into your daily routine.2. Get water from your food: Cohen and Bria wet your appetite with delicious meal plans, including the most hydrating foods (like berries and cucumbers).3. Use movement to distribute hydration: Their revolutionary micro-movements can help bring much-needed water to your tissues and organs.With bonus tips like how to stay hydrated during a flight, the hydrating power of chia seeds, and water as an aid to digestion, Quench is the ultimate guide to getting enough water and improving your health. Cohen and Bria will help you shift from H2No to H2Woah.
