By Devra Davis. 2010
For more information, visit www. devradavis. com. The much-anticipated, explosive expose of how cell phone use damages brain cells, especially…
in children, by one of the world's foremost scientific experts in the field. Devra Davis presents an array of recent and long suppressed research in this timely bombshell. Cell phone radiation is a national emergency. Stunningly, the most popular gadget of our age has now been shown to damage DNA, break down the brain's defenses, and reduce sperm count while increasing memory loss, the risk of Alzheimer's disease, and even cancer. The growing brains of children make them especially vulnerable. And half of the world's four billion cell phone used by people under twenty. Davis, the founding director of the toxicology and environmental studies board at the U. S. National Academy of Sciences, takes readers through the dark side of this trillion-dollar industry. Health experts have long been frozen out of policy-making decisions about cell phones; federal regulatory standards are set by the cell phone industry itself. Cell phone manufacturers have borrowed the playbook of the tobacco industry. One secret memo reveals their war plan against reports of cell phone dangers. Among a host of fascinating characters, Davis introduces Om P. Gandhi, a world expert on how cell phone radiation penetrates the human brain. Once a consultant to major cell phone companies, Gandhi now refuses to work with them. Franz Adlkofer led the multi-lab study that showed once and for all that brain cell DNA is unraveled by cell phone microwave radiation-and, as Davis dramatically portrays, it nearly cost him his career. As this eye-opening call to action shows, we can make safer cell phones now. Why would we put our children at risk of a devastating epidemic of brain illness in the years to come? .Mami,¡no quiero ser obeso!
By Alexandra Orozco. 2014
En nuestros países hispanos poco utilizamos la palabra obesidad; tal vez porque no nos sentimos obesos o no vivimos de…
cerca el problema. Pero el tema se ha convertido en una preocupante realidad cuando las estadísticas demuestran los altos índices de niños hispanos con sobrepeso en Estados Unidos y empieza a sentirse en los países de habla hispana. Me preocupa pensarlo y me atemoriza cuando miro a mi alrededor y encuentro que esas estadísticas sí coinciden con la realidad. Hace poco por mi trabajo tuve que estar en varias reuniones sociales a las que fui invitada; con gran sorpresa encontré que había mujeres muy delgadas y muy bien arregladas comentando todo el tiempo sobre belleza, sobre lo último en cirugía plástica, dietas, etc. , mientras tanto sus hijos daban vueltas alrededor de las mesas donde servían la comida, sirviéndose postres y pasabocas sin parar, otros jugando videojuegos y algunos, muy pocos, jugando algún tipo de deporte. Y fijándome al detalle encontré que sus hijos en su mayoría eran gordos y algunos estaban obesos. ¡Déjenme decirles que esto me aterró! A partir de esos días empecé a observar de una manera más aguda este fenómeno y cada vez que iba a restaurantes, centros comerciales, o parques, veía lo mismo. Me pregunto, ¿por qué ellas sí pueden mantener un peso normal y sus hijos no? Sería interesante saber la respuesta. ¿O por qué aquellas que están pasadas de peso tienen hijos que siguen su modelo? La respuesta es muy sencilla: estamos enfrentados a una generación de Padres Permisivos”. Así como la generación de Padres Autoritarios” nos dejó el temor, pareciera ser que esta época estuviera creando niños débiles y confundidos. Una manera de demostrarles el amor a nuestros hijos y que ellos sientan que nos preocupamos por ellos es a través de su alimentación. ¿Por qué? Porque su cuerpo forma parte integral de la armonía que debe tener cualquier ser humano. Esta armonía está distribuida en Cuerpo, Mente y Alma. El cuerpo es como la estructura de un edificio o la forma de una escultura que tiene que sustentar su autonomía. El papel que desempeña la nutrición o la forma de alimentarnos diariamente en nuestra vida es muy importante. Un adecuado estilo de vida es la mejor prevención de las enfermedades en la edad adulta y proporciona una correcta salud en las etapas del crecimiento. Debemos comprender y enseñarles a nuestros hijos que Somos lo que Comemos”. .Hand-Eye Coordination (Junior Martial Arts #9)

Ten unique programs for fat loss, muscle gain, and strength improvement for beginners and elite lifters. Want to get more…
out of your workout and spend less time in the gym? Many guys devote so many hours to lifting weight yet end up with so little to show for it. In many cases, the problem is simple: They aren't doing exercises based on the movements their bodies were designed to do. Six basic movements--the squat, deadlift, lunge, push, pull, and twist--use all of the body's major muscles. And, more important, they use those muscles in coordinated action, the way they were designed to work. The New Rules of Lifting, now in paperback and with more than one hundred photographs, gives you more than a year's worth of workouts based on these six basic movements. Whether you're a beginner, an experienced lifter looking for new challenges, or anything in between, you can mix and match the workouts to help you get bigger, stronger, and leaner. In addition, the comprehensive nutritional information provided makes The New Rules of Lifting a complete guide to reaching all your goals. If you aren't using The New Rules of Lifting, you aren't getting the best possible results. Read Lou Shuler's posts on the Penguin Blog.History of Friedrich II of Prussia, Volume 21
