Does Coffee Cause Cancer? - And...

Dr. Christopher Labos

In this fascinating, refreshingly clarifying book about food, food myths, and how sloppy science perpetuates misconceptions about food, a medical doctor on his way to a conference gets drawn into conversations that answer the following questions:
		
		Does vitamin C prevent the common cold? And if it works, why does it only work in Canadian soldiers, ultramarathon runners, and skiers?
		Was red meat really declared a carcinogen by the WHO? Does that mean I should become a vegetarian? And who decides what gets labeled as red meat and white meat?
		Is salt really not that bad for you and did a group of researchers really want to experiment on prisoners to prove the point?
		Does coffee cause cancer or heart attacks? Why did a California court say coffee needed a warning label?
		Is red wine really good for your heart, and what makes the French Paradox such a paradox?
		Why did the New England Journal of Medicine link eating chocolate with winning a Nobel Prize?
		Why were eggs once bad for you but now good for you again? Does that mean I don’t need to worry about cholesterol?
		Should I be taking vitamin D?

Anônimo

A much-needed program to prevent and reverse disease, and discover a path to sustainable, long-term health from an acclaimed international doctor and star of the BBC program Doctor in the House.
How to Make Disease Disappear is Dr. Rangan Chatterjee’s revolutionary, yet simple guide to better health—a much-needed, accessible plan that will help you take back control of your health and your life.
A physician dedicated to finding the root cause of ill health rather than simply suppressing symptoms with drugs, Dr. Chatterjee passionately advocates and follows a philosophy that lifestyle and nutrition are first-line medicine and the cornerstone of good health. Drawing on cutting edge research and his own experiences as a doctor, he argues that the secret to preventing disease and achieving wellness revolves around four critical pillars: food, relaxation, sleep, and movement. By making small, incremental changes in each of these key areas, you can create and maintain good health—and alleviate and prevent illness. As Dr. Chatterjee, reveals we can reverse and make disease disappear without a complete overhaul of our lifestyle.
His dynamic, user-friendly approach is not about excelling at any one pillar. What matters is balance in every area of your life, which includes:Me-time every dayAn electronic-free Sabbath once a weekRetraining your taste budsDaily micro-fastsMovement snackingA bedtime routine
Practical and life-changing, How to Make Disease Disappear is an inspiring and easy-to-follow guide to better health and happiness.

The Green Funeral - Honoring the...

Sequola Dawson, Dr. Jonathan C....

The care of creation is the responsibility of all Christians. 
Join Sequola Dawson in her insightful exploration of death rituals as she examines funerals, memorials, and burial practices, urging us to take ownership and recognize the vital interdependence between humanity, the earth, and all living organisms, advocating for a more ecologically responsible approach to caring for creation. 
 
The Green Funeral introduces readers to evolving attitudes toward death, the death care industry, and our faith. Dawson not only delves into burial traditions within the African American community but outlines innovative practices suited for a new generation of multicultural churchgoers and those who do not identify with any religious tradition. 
Dawson sheds light on the often-ignored economics behind the funeral industry, challenging us to consider the implications of "putting money in the ground." Many of us are unprepared for the death of a loved one, leaving us to ponder who bears the burden of caring for the deceased. With thousands of dollars spent on burials, Dawson argues for a more responsible approach--one that acknowledges the environmental impact of traditional practices and seeks to honor our loved ones without compromising the land they leave behind. 
Dawson's unique perspective on death stems from her experiences in academia, the military, family life, and engineering, as well as her journey as a cancer survivor. She artfully weaves together the languages of all these worlds collectively raising a voice for better creation care--even in death.
