advances in agriculture medicine and technology have protected man to some degree from dangers such as starvation illness and exposure the fact remains that our cave-dwelling cousins were considerably healthier than we are Our paleolithic ancestors did not suffer from heart disease diabetes high blood pressure or obesity In fact a good deal of what we view as normal aging is a modern condition that is more akin to disease than any natural state of growing older Our predecessors were incomparably better nourished than we are and were incredibly physically fit And certainly none of them ever craved a doughnut let alone tasted one In fact the human preference for sweet tastes and fatty textures was developed in an environment where such treats were rare and signaled dense useful energy This once-helpful adaptation is the downfall of many a dieter today It s what makes it hard to resist fats and sweets especially when they are all around us We are not living as we were built to live Our genes were forged in an environment where activity was mandatory you were active or you starved or were eaten This created strong selective pressure for genes encoding a smart physically adept individual capable of very high activity levels Humans are among the most active of species and we carry energetically expensive brains to boot Our energy expenditures rank high among all animals At least they once did The New Evolution Diet by Arthur De Vany PhD is a roadmap back to the better health our ancestors once enjoyed By eliminating modern foods including carbohydrates dairy and all processed foods from our diets we can undo much of the damage caused by our modern food environment The plan is based on three simple principles 1 Enjoy the pleasure of food and do not count or restrict calories Eat three satisfying meals a day filled with non-starchy vegetables fruits and high-quality lean proteins2 Do not starve yourself but do go hungry episodically for brief periods to promote a low fasting blood insulin level and increase metabolic fat-burning 3 Exercise less not more but with more playfulness and intensity The goal is to create a strong body with a high resting metabolism and a large physiologic capacity to move through life easily not to burn caloriesOrganic Body Care Recipes: 175 Homeade Herbal Formulas for Glowing Skin & a Vibrant Self

that so many men struggle with when thinking about the disease. So he got to work writing The Prostate Monologues.Through the lens of his own experience, McCallum attacks the nitty-gritty questions about prostate cancer that men think about (but may be too bashful to ask their doctors) with honesty and humor. For example, "When is it safe to attempt intercourse, or at least, self-inflicted orgasm?" Or, if you have surgery, "What's it like the first time you shop for adult diapers?" With wry humor, McCallum decodes the sometimes-confusing jargon of medical professionals so that it is understandable and relatable to "regular" men. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men and the second most fatal. Worse than the obvious commonality and mortality of the disease, though, is the fact that prostate cancer can rob a man of his manhood. Accordingly, McCallum handles the subject not only with care and knowledge, but also with good cheer. Through the honest telling of his own story, and drawing on the latest research, McCallum shares insight into what's worked for him—and what's proven to work—in surviving cancer with your sense of humor intact.Testosterone Transformation: Lose Belly Fat, Build Muscle, and Boost Sexual Vitality

synch with the global ecosystem. This ecological anxiety has polarized a new generation of Americans: many are drawn to natural solutions and organic lifestyles, while others rally around high-tech development and industrial efficiencies. Johnson argues that both views, when taken to extremes, can be harmful, even deadly.Johnson, raised in the crunchy-granola epicenter of Nevada City, California, lovingly and rigorously scrutinizes his family's all-natural mindset, a quest that brings him into the worlds of an outlaw midwife, radical doctors, renegade farmers and one hermit forester. Along the way, he uncovers paradoxes at the heart of our ecological condition: Why, even as medicine improves, are we becoming less healthy? Why are more American women dying in childbirth? Why do we grow fatter the more we diet? Why have so many attempts to save the environment backfired?In All Natural*--a sparklingly intelligent, wry, and scrupulously reported narrative--Johnson teases fact from faith and offers a rousing and original vision for a middle ground between natural and technological solutions that will assuage frustrated environmentalists, perplexed parents, and confused consumers alike.Groundbreaking research has shown that weight loss does not equal fat loss The dreaded number on the scale and…
