By Bill Katovsky. 2010
Bill Katovsky was a two-time Hawaii Ironman finisher, a guy who bicycled solo across the U.S., an endurance athlete who…
competed in a three-day race mountain bike race across Costa Rica. But through a series of misfortunes, including depression, losing his dog, death in his family, and debilitating health problems, Katovsky went from being a multisport junkie to complete couch potato. He stopped working out. For almost ten years! By the time he hit fifty, he decided it was time for a change. How he fought his way back to fitness is not only a riveting, brutally honest, and ultimately inspiring story, it is also a hands-on guide to help anyone reclaim health and well-being. Katovsky supplements his personal story with those of others successfully making a return to fitness--an astronaut who spent five months in space; a former Wall Street trader who lost seventy-five pounds and became Hawaii's Fittest CEO; a retired two-time world-champion Hawaii Ironman triathlete with a bum hip that needed replacing, a Yosemite park employee who broke her spine in a hiking accident and is now back on the trails; and a sixty-something business educator who's had six heart bypasses but still backpacks and goes to the gym. With the advice of personal trainers, fitness experts, and multisport coaches, Katovsky offers a wealth of useful information, including: · Diet and nutrition--what you need to know for a healthy body· How aging, body fat, and motivation affect physical and mental health; and why exercise is good for depression· Successfully building a proper aerobic and strength base -workouts you can do at home!· Tips for injury prevention - from avoiding overtraining to why stretching isn't recommended· Learning the right way to run and getting back on the bike 10 fitness and health facts found in this important new book:1. Dieting without exercise leads to an increase in body fat and even more weight gain once the dieting ends.2. An active overweight person is healthier and lives longer than an inactive, skinny person.3. You can not spot-reduce belly fat (something the weight-loss and ab-gizmo infomercials won't tell you); and why the "plank" is better than situps or crunches for strengthening the core.4. Exercise can lessen stress and curb depression with no side-effects, unlike taking anti-depressants.5. There is no scientific or medical evidence that body detoxification or all-juice fasting is either healthy or safe.6. Most running injuries are caused by the overly built-up running shoe that forces runners to land on their heel, not middle of the foot.7. It's cheaper to pay as you go at the gym, and not buy a monthly or annual membership; gym members attend on average only four times a month!8. The best thing for a muscle or joint injury is not bed rest, but physical activity!9. Who is the queen of Hollywood workouts? Answer: Renee Zellweger who swims, practices yoga, jogs up to five miles several times a week, and regularly hits the gym with circuit training.10. The best measurement of body fitness is not the bathroom scale, since fat weighs less than muscle, but waist size.Complete Guide to Prescription & Nonprescription Drugs 2011

By Suzanne Somers, James Forsythe. 2011
Are you tired of searching for the fountain of youth? Well, look no more. In this book, Nevada medical oncologist…
Dr. James Forsythe, one of the world's leading anti-aging experts, reveals how to slow and even reverse the aging process. Based on meticulously researched clinical evidence, this book provides an account of revolutionary anti-aging treatments that can prevent the health conditions associated with getting old.The key to youth, good health, and vitality as we age comes from our body's Master Hormone that naturally produces human growth hormone (HGH ). As we advance in years, the body produces less and less of this vital hormone and we begin to see and feel symptoms of the aging process.By rejuvenating the Master Hormone gland using a range of safe and natural Bio-Stimulators, as this book shows, we improve the quality and duration of the human lifespan, prevent heart disease and obesity, and maintain optimal health as we mature. The medically documented and proven benefits include: loss of body-fat mass, improved skin texture and tone, improved bone density, improved libido and sleep quality, and much more.Dr. Forsythe, who wrote the official United States government protocol for administering growth hormone to fight aging, describes how readers can harness the power of Bio-Stimulators safely, legally, and naturally, to combat the ravages of aging. The book also describes simple ways to release more growth hormone in your body by using combinations of everyday foods, exercise, and quality sleep. Backed by firm medical science evidence, Anti-Aging Cures will teach you how all of these natural cures for aging work their magic on the human body.The New Glucose Revolution Shopper's Guide to GI Values 2008
