Summary

Protein Myths tackles common misunderstandings about protein intake, its sources, and its role in health and fitness. Many believe high protein consumption automatically builds muscle or that animal proteins are superior. However, this book uses an evidence-based approach, drawing from scientific studies to dismantle these myths. It emphasizes that informed protein consumption, tailored to individual needs, is more effective than blindly following popular beliefs.

 
The book progresses by first defining protein's role in the body and the differences between protein sources. It then deconstructs popular myths related to optimal intake levels and the timing of protein consumption. Did you know that the timing of protein consumption can impact muscle recovery and growth, or that plant-based proteins can be just as effective as animal-based ones when properly combined?

 
Finally, it offers guidelines on assessing individual protein needs based on activity level, age, and health status, providing practical applications for personalized nutrition. This book stands out by offering a holistic view of protein that emphasizes personalized nutrition. It bridges the gap between scientific research and practical application, making complex nutritional concepts accessible to health-conscious individuals, athletes, and anyone seeking to optimize their dietary choices.

Mythic Plants - Potions and...

Ellen Zachos

In this beautifully illustrated book that's Song of Achilles meets Secret Life of Trees, readers will discover the plants cultivated by the Greek Gods–many of which can still be experimented with today–for a myriad of uses.  In Greek mythology, plants were used for tools, intoxication, warfare, food, medicine, magic, and rituals. When Prometheus stole fire from the Olympian gods and gave it to mankind, he hid it in a stalk of giant fennel. Ancient Greeks waiting to question the oracles were given cannabis as part of their cleansing rituals. A quince fruit started the Trojan war. The goddess Demeter was so distraught when Hades kidnapped her daughter that she caused winter to blanket the earth, killing all plants. Mythic Plants focuses on how the ancient Greeks used plants in their lives and loves and conquests—some of which we can still use. Includes tips throughout for bringing these ancient plants into your garden.
