  Ayurveda, popularized by Deepak Chopra in his bestselling books, is an ancient wholistic approach that originated in India. Both natural skin care and the ancient discipline of Ayurveda are tremendously popular concepts right now, and this is the first time the two have come together in a comprehensive book. The founder of her own skin care clinic in Manhattan, author Pratima Raichur is a leading expert on Ayruveda who uses classic Ayurvedic principles to develop her own completely original skin care regimen that can be tailored to all skin types. In concrete, accessible terms, Raichur shows readers how to achieve what she calls absolute beauty-a complexion so luminous and an inner vitality so compelling that our attractiveness transcends all modes of fashion and all physical ideals-a beauty that anyone can achieve, regardless of age, wealth, status or bodily imperfection. Part I outlines the principles of Ayurvedic skin care and shows how the skin, our largest organ, can reveal important information about our stress levels and overall health-if we know what to look for-and offers readers a self-test to determine their skin type from three categories. Part 2 describes each skin type's regimen, and shows the individual reader how they can achieve balance in their particular problem areas through proper nutrition, cleansing, and moisturizing. It also offers a consumers' guide to -natural' products currently available, as well as remedies for the 12 most common complaints, and natural makeup tips. Part 3 focuses even further on nutritional information such as how much is enough water, what your skin can tell you about your digestion, and how to detoxify your body for beautiful skin and hair. Part 4 discusses the spiritual aspects of Ayurveda which can aid in achieving inner peace and the outer glow that stems from it. Also included throughout the book are line drawings to illustrate Raichur's skin care techniques and exercises.aCombining the best of modern science and the age old wisdom of Ayurveda, Absolute Beauty is a complete skin care guide that not only offers the key to more beautiful skin, shinier hair, and thicker eyelashes, but to better overall health, vitality, and abody that feels as good as it looks.

  Can you really lose twenty pounds in a month? Will you really keep it off this time? With The Rice Diet Solution, you will! The Rice Diet Program has been helping dieters successfully lose weight since 1939. Now in book form, this world-renowned weight-loss method can help you change the way you eat forever.The Rice Diet Program in Durham, North Carolina, was one of the first medical facilities in America to use diet as the primary way to treat disease. On this high-complex-carb, low-fat, and low-sodium whole-foods diet, “Ricers” lose weight faster, more safely, and more effectively than people on any other diet. Men lose on average twenty-eight to thirty pounds and women on average nineteen to twenty pounds per month! The Rice Diet also detoxes your body, ridding it of excess water weight and toxins from processed foods and the environment. The program's results have been documented by extensive studies and confirmed by thousands of people who report amazing weight loss, as well as immediate improvement in such conditions as heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension.Here’s how it works: The Rice Diet strictly limits salt and sodium-rich ingredients. Salt, like refined sugar, is an appetite stimulant, so when you reduce salt intake, you lose water weight and are less inclined to overeat. The Rice Diet also limits saturated fats and instead relies on carbohydrates (fruits, vegetables, grains, and beans) as the main source of nutrition. The fiber cleanses your system and satisfies you so you feel full quickly. The Rice Diet makes it easy to limit calories; when you’re eating foods that truly satisfy your hunger, it’s a challenge to eat 1,500 calories per day!To make it easy to follow the program, The Rice Diet Solution includes hundreds of tasty, filling, easy-to-prepare recipes—some from the Rice House kitchen, others inspired by major chefs and adapted to Rice Diet standards.

  Lifestyle Guide to Type-2...

  Type-2 Diabetes is a chronic metabolic condition that is the result of the body’s inability to properly regulate its use of glucose (sugar) as a means of energy. The glucose that is prevalent in your blood is derived from the foods that you have consumed, acting as a primary energy source that carries you through your day to day life. Insulin, a hormone that is created and output by the pancreas (and the helpful friend of glucose), is responsible for aiding glucose with being absorbed into the cells of the body, and thus, providing you with energy. With Type-2 Diabetes, the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or it does not use insulin effectively enough to regulate blood sugar levels. As a result, insulin, mediated shots, or oral medications may need to be administered in order to properly regulate the body.
