The Dhammapada (Wisehouse Classics - The Complete & Authoritative Edition)

Max F. Müller

Summary

The DHAMMAPADA  is a collection of sayings of the Buddha in verse form and one of the most widely read and best known Buddhist scriptures. The original version of the DHAMMAPADA is in the Khuddaka Nikaya, a division of the Pali Canon of Theravada Buddhism. 

The Buddhist scholar and commentator Buddhaghosa explains that each saying recorded in the collection was made on a different occasion in response to a unique situation that had arisen in the life of the Buddha and his monastic community. His commentary, the Dhammapada Atthakatha, presents the details of these events and is a rich source of legend for the life and times of the Buddha.

The Oldest Code of Laws in the...

Hammurabi

"The Oldest Code of Laws in the World" is a compilation of legal codes created by Hammurabi, the sixth king of Babylon, in ancient Mesopotamia. This work dates back to the 18th century BCE and is one of the earliest known examples of a legal system in human history. 
The codes cover a wide range of legal issues, including property rights, inheritance, slavery, marriage and divorce, trade, and crimes and punishments. They provide insights into the social order and cultural norms of the time, as well as the role of law and justice in ancient Mesopotamia. 
Hammurabi's codes were based on the principle of divine authority, with the king as the ultimate arbiter of justice. They reflected the social hierarchy of the time, with different punishments prescribed for different classes of people. The codes were also designed to promote social order and stability, with harsh punishments prescribed for those who disrupted the peace. 
"The Oldest Code of Laws in the World" is a fascinating glimpse into the legal and moral codes of ancient Mesopotamia, and it continues to be a source of inspiration for scholars and students of history, law, and culture. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of one of the world's greatest civilizations

Aip Diet Cookbook - Approach the...

Amina Subramani, Tracy Cooper

★ What is AIP Diet? ★The Auto-Immune Protocol (AIP) is a diet recommended for those suffering from autoimmune diseases or pain and with a high degree of systemic inflammation, but also for those interested in deep detoxification of the organism or in doubt that some very common foods, and normally allowed in other food plans, can be a source of intolerance.★ Why AIP Diet? ★It is a therapeutic elimination and reintroduction diet that has a solid scientific basis, created for autoimmune diseases.But also a therapeutic diet to fill nutritional deficiencies, to rebalance the microbiome, to reduce intestinal inflammation and treat the leaky gut, for hormonal balance, to increase antioxidant defenses, to regain energy, to reduce systemic inflammation (and the cardiovascular consequences).The effects on weight control are there but, in my opinion, secondary and a consequence of the recovery of health and well-being. We talk about the Autoimmune Protocol when there are autoimmune disorders or diseases associated with impaired intestinal permeability (leaky gut) with an autoimmune response, such as:rheumatoid arthritis, celiac disease, depression, type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism, Crohn's disease, narcolepsy, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, Hashimoto's, thyroiditis, vitiligo...★ How does it work? ★It is an elimination diet. This means that it provides for the exclusion of some food groups to observe the effects on health in the following weeks (3-6 weeks).In the first phase, foods and drugs that could be linked to intestinal inflammation or microbiota imbalances are eliminated. Especially products and foods that are known to cause allergies or unwanted reactions are evaluated.♥  So, starting from a concept of CLEAN FOOD, we have created 80 easy recipes, accessible to beginners and not, to    approach this food plan, experiment with it and immediately feel the benefits.✓Enjoy the Diet, Enjoy new life !!!

The Ultimate Guide To Sugars &...

Alan Barclay, Philippa Sandall,...

“The very first compendium of the sweet substances we typically eat and what happens once they’re in our body.” —New York Journal of Books

Today, supermarkets and natural food stores feature a bewildering variety of sugars and alternative sweeteners. The deluge of conflicting information doesn’t help. If choosing a sweetener leaves you scratching your head, this handy guide will answer all of your questions—even the ones you didn’t know to ask:Which sweeteners perform well in baking?Will the kids notice if I sub in stevia?What’s the best pick if I’m watching my waistline, blood sugar, or environmental impact?Are any of them really superfoods . . . or toxic?

Perfect for foodies, bakers, carb counters, parents, chefs, and clinicians, this delightfully readable book features more than 180 alphabetical entries on natural and artificial sweeteners, including the usual suspects (table sugar, honey), the controversial (aspartame, high-fructose corn syrup), the hyped (coconut sugar, monk fruit sweetener), and the unfamiliar (Chinese rock sugar, isomaltulose). You’ll also find myth-busting Q&As, intriguing trivia, side-by-side comparisons of how sweeteners perform in classic baked goods, and info on food-additive regulations, dental health, the glycemic index, and more. Your sweet tooth is in for a real education!

“An honest, comprehensive book based on facts, for those who want to see the meeting of history, science, and common sense. It covers every sweetener you have heard of, plus many you may never encounter. One of the few books that put sugar and sweetness in context so you can make a wise judgment.” —Glenn Cardwell, author of Gold Medal Nutrition
