Thousands of books have been written about the latest and greatest diets that will help people lose weight and improve health. But a key element in any successful nutritional health program is a tried-and-true method that most people haven’t thought about—yet it could be revolutionary for taking health to the next level. This ancient secret is fasting.Fasting is not about starving oneself. When done right, it’s an incredibly effective therapeutic approach that produces amazing results regardless of diet plan. In fact, Toronto-based nephrologist Dr. Jason Fung has used a variety of fasting protocols with more than 1,000 patients, with fantastic success. In The Complete Guide to Fasting, he has teamed up with international bestselling author and veteran health podcaster Jimmy Moore to explain what fasting is really about, why it’s so important, and how to fast in a way that improves health. Together, they make fasting as a therapeutic approach both practical and easy to understand.   The Complete Guide to Fasting explains: • why fasting is actually good for health • who can benefit from fasting (and who won’t) • the history of fasting • the various ways to fast: intermittent, alternate-day, and extended fasting • what to expect when starting to fast • how to track progress while fasting • the weight loss effects of fasting • how to ward off potential negative effects from fasting The book also provides tools to help readers get started and get through their fasts, including a 7-Day Kick-Start Fasting Plan and healing liquid recipes.

For the first time in history, too much food is making us sick. It's all too apparent that the Modern American Diet (MAD) is expanding our waistlines; what's less obvious is that it's starving and shrinking our brains. Rates of obesity and depression have recently doubled, and while these epidemics are closely linked, few experts are connecting the dots for the average American.Using the latest data from the rapidly changing fields of neuroscience and nutrition, The Happiness Diet shows that over the past several generations small, seemingly insignificant changes to our diet have stripped it of nutrients―like magnesium, vitamin B12, iron, and vitamin D, as well as some very special fats―that are essential for happy, well-balanced brains. These shifts also explain the overabundance of mood-destroying foods in the average American's diet and why they predispose most of us to excessive weight gain. After a clear explanation of how we've all been led so far astray, The Happiness Diet empowers the reader with simple, straightforward solutions. Graham and Ramsey show you how to steer clear of this MAD way of life with foods to swear off, shopping tips, brain-building recipes, and other practical advice, and then remake your diet by doubling down on feel-good foods―even the all-American burger.

Statins are the so-called "wonder drugs" widely prescribed to lower blood cholesterol levels that claim to offer unparalleled protection against heart disease. Many experts claim that they are completely safe and that they are also capable of preventing a whole series of other conditions. This groundbreaking study exposes the truth behind the hype surrounding statins and reveals a number of crucial facts, including that high cholesterol levels do not cause heart disease; that high-fat diets—saturated or otherwise—do not affect blood cholesterol levels; and that for most men and all women the benefits offered by statins are negligible at best. Other data is also provided that shows that statins have many more side affects than is often acknowledged. This hard-hitting survey also points a finger at the powerful pharmaceutical industry and an unquestioning medical profession as perpetrators of the largely facetious concepts of “good” and “bad” cholesterol that are designed to convince millions of people to spend billions on statins. With clarity and wit, this appeal to common sense and scientific fact debunks common assumptions on what constitutes a healthy lifestyle and diet, as well as the idea that there is a miracle cure for heart disease.

Kim Korb’s classes on gardening, cooking and nutrition have for years encouraged picky New England grade school children to understand where good food comes from and to try fresh veggies and fruit. Kim discovered early on that a surprising number of kids know only that food comes from supermarkets. In her workshops, Kim shows the children seeds,plants,flowers,stems,leaves,fruits and roots. Let Kim tell you in her own words: “We began with a gardening program to show how a seed, when planted, grows into a large plant, and the plant is not only edible, it’s delicious and healthy for you. I would cut up and serve them raw vegetables with a spoonful of dip: peas, lettuce, carrots, broccoli, spinach, and celery. But there would always be some kids who thought raw foods were gross and would not try them. They were missing out on the best that nature offers, and I wanted to encourage them to try fresh vegetables. Icky Pick Suzy is the story that came out of my experiences. The students could relate to Suzie. They wrote me letters thanking me for sharing that story and how it helped them to try new fruits and veggies. “These days the Korb family, like most, is spread across the USA. But we often get together with our kids at the family home in Rhode Island and eat fresh food from our garden, just as our kids did when they were growing up (Well, after they got over being icky picky!). “Icky Picky Suzie is a family collaboration that is 10 years in the making! We really enjoyed making this book a reality!”
