By Randall Fitzgerald. 2006
In a devastating exposé in the tradition of Silent Spring and Fast Food Nation, investigative journalist Randall Fitzgerald warns how…
thousands of man-made chemicals in our food, water, medicine, and environment are making humans the most polluted species on the planet. A century ago in 1906, when Congress enacted the Pure Food and Drug Act, Americans were promised ?better living through chemistry. ? Fitzgerald provides overwhelming evidence to shatter this myth, and many others perpetrated by the chemical, pharmaceutical, and processed foods industries. In the face of this national health crisis, Fitzgerald also presents informed and practical suggestions for what we can do to turn the tide and live healthier lives. Consider this: ? The average American carries a ?body burden? of 700 synthetic chemicals ? Chemicals in tap water can cause reproductive abnormalities and hermaphroditic birth ? A 2005 study of lactating women in eighteen U. S. states found perchlorate (a toxic component of rocket fuel) in practically every mother?s breast milk .Seis Semanas Para ¡Ay Dios Mio!

By James B. Johnson. 2013
The original intermittent fasting diet - now up-dated and expanded An easy-to-follow, safe, and science-based alternate-day calorie-restriction program that promotes…
weight loss and longevity, The Alternate-Day Diet includes the most up-to-date research on calorie restriction and intermittent fasting as well as additional techniques (including supplementation and eating according to the body's natural circadian rhythms) to enhance the diet's effectiveness. The Alternate-Day Diet describes how limiting caloric intake every other day can activate a gene called SIRT1 which reduces inflammation, lowers free radical stress, improves insulin resistance, and most important, causes fat loss by releasing fat cells from around the organs. In short, activating SIRT1 promotes weight loss and longevity. The simple two-step program calls for you to limit calories one day and eat normally the next and the book outlines lifestyle suggestions to support the diet's effectiveness including proper hydration and exercise, which are also key components to maximizing weight-loss. Throughout, you will be inspired by the anecdotes and testimonials from real people who have used the diet successfully to lose weight, and to find relief from a range of health issues including heart disease, Type II diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and even menopause-related hot flashes. .Cookies or Carrots?: You Are What You Eat (Kids & Obesity)

By Rae Simons. 2011
Did you know that all around the world, more people are overweight than ever before in the Earth's history? This…
is partly because of the way we eat, partly because of the way we live, and it's also partly because of the types of bodies our parents passed on to us. A long time ago, children and grownups were active every day, just doing all the jobs that needed to be done to stay alive. Food was sometimes scarce, and so people who could store fat were more likely to stay alive. Today, though, grownups and children don't move around nearly as much as they once did. Food is almost always plentiful. And our bodies' ability to store weight now means that we easily become overweight. It's a complicated problem!Getting Stronger, Getting Fit: The Importance of Exercise (Kids & Obesity)
