Manufacturer: Gildan Media Corporation

Most of us think that longevity hinges on maintaining a normal body mass index. But research conducted over the last decade hit the media with explosive news: overweight and even moderately obese people with certain chronic diseases--from heart disease to cancer--often live longer and fare better than normal weight individuals with the same ailments.In this groundbreaking audiobook, Carl Lavie, MD, reveals the science behind the obesity paradox and shows us how to achieve maximum health rather than minimum weight. Lavie not only explains how extra fat provides additional fuel to help fight illness, he also argues that we've gotten so used to framing health issues in terms of obesity that we overlook other potential causes of disease. Picking up where the bestseller Fat Chance left off, The Obesity Paradox will change the conversation about fat--and what it means to be healthy.

From Jen and Alexis Luhrs, creators of the popular Streaming Colorsâ„¢ Fitness Journal monthly "healthy habit-forming calendar" (since 2004), and of Lean Mode, Color Code-Not Your Usual Food Diary (2008), comes this handy weekly fitness planner featuring a week of color-in modules on each page with additional lined space to write in daily food and workout details or appointments. As with the Streaming Colors calendar version, the main idea is to color in the daily modules with each day's positive actions, such as exercising, drinking more water, eating more veggies, or having a junk-food-free day. Color helps remind, reward and motivate you to practice a healthy action long enough for it to become a habit you hardly have to think about (like taking a shower in the morning.)

Since color is the key, this journal features an energizing change of background color each month throughout its 12-month, perfect-bound 80 pages (full-color, laminated paperback cover, 8.5 x 8.5 inches square). In addition to 52 weekly planner pages, it includes helpful information on getting started, setting goals and rewards, rating your health and fitness before and after, pages for coloring in special achievements or milestones, monthly tips for beginners and advanced, and the occasional motivational saying. A special section on the new USDA Food Pyramid includes a Quick Reference Chart of Daily Calories & Food Groups, as well as a Food Diary Worksheet and pages for recording info on your favorite foods and activities. To help you stay on track and improve all year long, there is a color key you customize at the start of each month with the healthy actions you wish to focus on, along with a goal and reward area. Using highlighters, you color in your positive actions each day. Coloring is an ...
