Sinopse

Sugar Addiction Science explores the science behind sugar's addictive properties, its impact on brain function, and effective strategies for breaking free from its control. The book delves into how sugar hijacks ancient reward pathways by stimulating dopamine release, creating a cycle of cravings similar to substance abuse. Interestingly, studies using fMRI have visualized the neural responses to sugar consumption, highlighting its direct impact on the brain.

 
The book is structured into three parts, starting with the neurochemical basis of sugar addiction. It progresses to examine the health consequences of chronic sugar overconsumption, such as insulin resistance and increased risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

 
Finally, it provides science-backed strategies for managing cravings and withdrawal using dietary modifications, behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices. This book distinguishes itself by focusing on the scientific underpinnings of sugar addiction, connecting it to fields like addiction psychology, endocrinology, and cardiology, rather than merely providing dietary recommendations.

No More Secrets - From Hurt...

Adam Volant

Considering my suicide, I stared out a window in Maryland and saw that rain blurred colors in a parking lot. The shame of being sexually abused caused recurring nightmares, and a life that became a complex facade of covers, military titles and secrets never told. In this book, published poet and author Adam Volant shares his own testimony of brokenness and success, rising from childhood abuse to flag officer in the military’s most specialized cyber operations. Centered on a poem written in the depth of his darkness, this honest portrayal illuminates a hurt that many harbor inside. After years of attempting to cover, reconcile, and cope with years of abuse, frail lies tied to alcohol and drugs pointed to his death. Reading No More Secrets will help unravel how horrible things can be used to draw us nearer to a more important truth.

Sex without Regrets - Learning...

Nora Fozard

Is sexual sin sabotaging your best life? (Is sexual sin sabotaging your quest for love?)
Who ever imagined that sexually transmitted disease would be on the rise in the 21st century? That as teen pregnancies declined, pregnancies of unmarried women would increase? That 20th century shock at a leader’s hidden sexual sin would dissolve into 21st century indifference about a leader’s public bragging?
This update of Nora Fozard’s Christian classic about the secrets of sex and marriage examines the root causes of sexual sin and offers practical solutions from the Bible for women, men, and church leaders. It recommends specific steps regain to regain the Godly intimacy lost in marriages to the sexual sins of pornography, lust, fornication, and adultery. It guides parents with tools for leading their children to healthy, Godly ways of relating, and encourages unmarried people, from teens to senior adults, to experience the dignity of God’s way of living.
Each chapter includes specific challenges for women, men, and the Christian church. Nora speaks directly to married people tempted to sin as well as those unmarried struggling to overcome lust and be faithful to God. Powerful examples from more than 40 years of ministry reveal the consequences sexual sin has had in the lives of people from teenagers to senior citizens. And equally powerful examples from her own life show how these Bible principles work when they’re put to the text.
Sexual sin traumatizes children. It undermines church and community leadership. It undermines the happy, healthy families we all want. Learn to enjoy the happy, healthy families and relationships we all want.
Here’s strength to resist sexual sin!
