Ponte en tu piel: Consejos sobre Skincare y estilo de vida para lucir una piel sana y bonita
By Natalia Jiménez. 2022
Una guía para aprender a cuidar tu piel. La piel es el órgano más grande y visible del cuerpo humano.…
Todos envejecemos, pero es posible hacerlo de forma sana y natural. Por eso, la dermatóloga Natalia Jiménez ha creado una guía fácil y muy completa con las claves para lucir una piel bonita: estilo de vida, alimentación, ejercicio físico y skincare. Un manual para aprender a cuidar nuestra piel de manera efectiva: cuáles son los ingredientes perfectos que tienes que encontrar en una crema, cómo leer una etiqueta correctamente, la importancia del fotoprotector como antiaging, los mejores tratamientos estéticos quirúrgicos y no quirúrgicos y la rutina ideal de cuidado para cara y cuerpo. Un completo libro en el que una de las dermatólogas más prestigiosas de nuestro país nos ayuda a ponernos en nuestra piel. Mi objetivo a lo largo de este libro es dar un enfoque diferente sobre el cuidado de la piel y el proceso de envejecimiento: veremos cómo funciona cada tratamiento, qué es efectivo y en qué no merece la pena invertir. Además, intentaré sustituir el concepto antiaging, que tiene claras connotaciones negativas, por el de better aging: porque envejecer de una forma saludable es posible. La filosofía better aging está ganando terreno en la actualidad, como forma más coherente y respetuosa de cuidarnos con el paso de los años. Mi libro busca ser un manifiesto de esta corriente y acercar al lector todos los secretos del cuidado de la piel, basados en los estudios científicos y en mi experiencia personal en la consulta.Start Here: Master the Lifelong Habit of Wellbeing

By Lisa Lee. 2022
The human microbiome and its resident micro-organisms have in recent years come to represent a new frontier in health research…
and science. Yet this body of knowledge has hitherto been little addressed within Oriental Medicine theory and has consequently been underutilised in practice. The book proposes a novel and ground-breaking approach to understanding and influencing gut health and the microbiome by integrating the latest evidence from Western medical research and the long-established theory and practice of Oriental medicine. Building on an understanding of the body as a complete ecosystem where symbiotic relationships maintain balance in both mind and body, this integrative model sheds new light on an area that has seen rapidly growing interest both in and out of scientific communities, providing a more holistic and comprehensive perspective that both unites and broadens the potential applications of microbiome knowledge across medical and therapeutic traditions.The book's focus on the microbiome of the gastro-intestinal tract allows to explore the far-reaching and wide-ranging effects of the gut's micro-organisms on other body systems, on their ability to maintain good physical and mental health, and to fight disease and illness. This emphasis further provides readers with a practical guide to understanding and supporting a well-functioning gut and microbiome, through lifestyle choices and practices that focus on eating well, sleep hygiene, and mindful living.The booming interest in the area of gut health makes this compelling, accessible and informative hands-on book, an important tool for patients and practitioners of Oriental medicine and other relevant disciplines, offering readers a unique opportunity to add a new dimension to their knowledge of gut health. It will allow practitioners to deepen their professional development and enhance the quality of the care they provide by honing therapeutic skills and creating hybrid treatment plans that combine the latest findings from the gut-health literature and Oriental medicine.Mit Tollen Tipps: Mit Tollen Tipps

ein gesundes und vitales Leben genießen wollen. Die Natur selbst stellt uns eine große Vielfalt an nährstoffreichen Nahrungsmitteln zur Verfügung, von denen unser menschlicher Organismus zu hundert Prozent profitiert und uns hilft, unseren täglichen Bedarf an Vitaminen und Mineralstoffen zu decken. Trotz dieser Vielfalt hören wir täglich von den alarmierend zunehmenden Zahlen an übergewichtigen und fettleibigen Menschen in den letzten Jahren. Parallel ist bekannt, dass der Konsum von Fastfood bzw. Junk Food zunimmt. Es gibt keine guten oder schlechten Lebensmittel, aber Diäten und Essgewohnheiten, die mehr oder weniger gesund sind. Über die Art und Weise aufzuklären, wie die positiven Eigenschaften bestimmter Nahrungsmittel sich vorteilhaft auf die Gesundheit der Konsumenten auswirken ist unabdingbar. Allerdings sollte das immer im Kontext von Abwechslung, Ausgewogenheit und Mäßigung betrachtet werden. Selbst Olivenöl, dessen Zusammensetzung sehr vorteilhaft ist, sollte in Maßen verzehrt werden.This book describes how, as a species our survival and capacity to flourish depends on realizing the intimate relationship of…
humans with nature through active, embodied participation with nature. Living within the physicality of the planet is not a limitation, rather it is our liberation. Full realization of the consequences of this relationship, through embodied action, can liberate us from ego-dependence and transform us into a community of interdependent and flourishing beings. Embodied Nature and Health: How to Attune to the Open-source Intelligence describes a systems analysis of presence-centered cultivation of well-being through particular ways of being physically and mentally active in relation to nature that aims at helping the individual attune to natures’ rhythms. The systems analysis proposes the hypothesis of the Open-source Intelligence: an intelligence which originates from the placement of individual organisms in the tissue and the process of life. This framework draws upon and integrates contemporary research into the human–nature relationship and human well-being, and ancient philosophies that were developed prior to the Cartesian gap between the mind and the body, as well as using an auto-ethnographic approach dervied from the experience of the author. The proposed system highlights a practical approach to well-being, based on research into human attention and its effective usage in daily life. The book outlines a methodology that can be used in schools, as a basis of training in sports, as well as in the field of self-development, and highlights the necessity to develop a new, non-abusive relationship with the natural environment. This novel, multi-discipline, first-of-its-kind research book will be of strong interest to experts and academics in the fields of physical activity, education, ecology, and philosophy.
