The massive growth in the popularity of yoga as a form of exercise
and as a method of maintaining whole-body wellness has led to
thousands of published research studies confirming what yoga
practitioners already know: Yoga relieves stress, improves mental
and emotional health, enhances sleep, relieves low back pain and
neck pain, promotes weight loss, and even enables smoking
cessation. Further study has proven that yoga helps individuals
with disabilities improve their functional activities of daily
living, recover from injuries, gain mobility, experience less pain,
and manage anxiety and depressive symptoms. Adaptive Yoga takes
these studies out of the research labs and onto the yoga mat to
empower individuals with disabilities or chronic health conditions
to create an effective and safe yoga practice. If you work with
these special populations as a yoga teacher or rehabilitative
therapist, you will find guidance and recommended poses for some of
the most common conditions and disabilities, including these: Low
back pain Hip, knee, and rheumatoid arthritis Spinal cord injury
Stroke Cerebral palsy Lower limb amputation Parkinson's disease
Multiple sclerosis Each pose is presented in detail so you fully
understand how it helps the student improve functionality. The text
instructs the reader on how to enter, hold, and exit the pose
safely, as well as why the pose is beneficial for that condition.
When appropriate, contraindications are presented so the yoga
practice can be tailored to address any additional conditions or
limitations. Challenge variations and restorative modifications for
many poses make further individualization possible. In Adaptive
Yoga, authors Ingrid Yang, MD, and Kyle Fahey, DPT, have combined
their extensive backgrounds in yoga, medicine, and physical therapy
with their unique insights and passion for movement and
rehabilitation to present an essential guide for helping those with
chronic conditions experience the countless physical and mental
benefits of yoga practice. CE exam available! For certified
professionals, a companion continuing education exam can be
completed after reading this book. The Adaptive Yoga Online CE Exam
may be purchased separately or as part of the Adaptive Yoga With CE
Exam package that includes both the book and the exam.
Natural beauty comes from within. And so does perfect, supple, and
wrinkle-free skin. Without specific nutritional supplementation,

from the ravages of aging. Even difficult skin conditions such as
eczema, psoriasis, seborrhea, and acne have been shown to respond
favorably to specific nutritional supplements. This book is written
in simple, easy-to-understand language that will enable the reader
to create their own personal skin-care program that is simple to
follow, fun, and very effective.

The keto diet (also known as ketogenic diet, low carb diet and LCHF
diet) is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet that shares many
similarities with the Atkins and low-carb diets. Maintaining this
diet is a great tool for weight loss. More importantly though,
according to an increasing number of studies, it helps reduce risk
factors for diabetes, heart diseases, stroke, Alzheimer's,
epilepsy, and more. On the keto diet, your body enters a metabolic
state called ketosis. While in ketosis your body is using ketone
bodies for energy instead of glucose. For anyone looking to lose
weight, become healthier, improve and stabilize their daily energy
levels, and understand and benefits of the complex nutritional
sciences of the keto diet, this book has it all.
This text describes the four major methods of nutritional
assessment (dietary, anthropometric, biometric, and clinical) in an

assessment of the hospitalized individual, but also serves as an
invaluable resource to the nutrition professional working in such
areas as public health and community nutrition, corporate health,
and sports medicine.

The international bestseller from award-winning writer Mark
Schatzker that reveals how our dysfunctional relationship with food
began-and how science is leading us back to healthier living and
eating. For the last fifty years, we have been fighting a losing
war on food. We have cut fat, reduced carbs, eliminated sugar, and
attempted every conceivable diet only to find that eighty-eight
million American adults are prediabetic, more than a hundred
million have high blood pressure, and nearly half now qualify as
obese. The harder we try to control what we eat, the unhealthier we
become. Why? Mark Schatzker has spent his career traveling the
world in search of the answer. Now, in The End of Craving, he poses
the profound question: What if the key to nutrition and good health
lies not in resisting the primal urge to eat but in understanding
its purpose? Beginning in the mountains of Europe and the fields of
the Old South, Schatzker embarks on a quest to uncover the lost art
of eating and living well. Along the way, he visits brain scanning
laboratories and hog farms, and encounters cultural oddities and
scientific paradoxes-northern Italians eat what may be the world's
most delicious cuisine, yet are among the world's thinnest people;
laborers in southern India possess an inborn wisdom to eat their
way from sickness to good health. Schatzker reveals how decades of
advancements in food technology have turned the brain's drive to
eat against the body, placing us in an unrelenting state of
craving. Only by restoring the relationship between nutrition and
the pleasure of eating can we hope to lead longer and happier
lives. Combining cutting-edge science and ancient wisdom, The End
of Craving is an urgent and radical investigation that "charts a
roadmap not just for healthy eating, but for joyous eating, too"
(Dan Barber, New York Times bestselling author of The Third Plate).
There is a steady stream of articles and books about 'miraculous'
cures from the chronic illnesses that face us in the 21st century:
autoimmune conditions such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis;
neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's, MS and
Alzheimer's; and many cancers. But if all these individual cases
are brought together and reviewed systematically, something much
more practical and less miraculous emerges - a set of principles to
guide us to better health and a greater chance of recovery. Dr
Jerry Thompson draws on an immense range of case histories and
research studies to show how what we eat, the toxic load we carry,
the environmental electromagnetic fields we live in, and our
beliefs and attitudes to health and illness can change the course
of disease. The result is a practical guide to what we can learn
from 'survivors' about how to improve our chances of good health
and recovery.

levels: beginner, intermediate, advanced and assisted advanced.
These stretches help you connect with your higher psychological
self. Best of all, these stretches can vastly improve any physical
fitness training, anywhere, anytime, and his no-pain method

#1 Wall Street Journal Bestseller New York Times Bestseller It's
comfort food-redefined! Here are healthy meals the whole family can
enjoy, night after night . . . What does comfort mean in The

author of The Defined Dish, bringing her family around the table to
share a home-cooked meal is a favorite way to show love. Her
recipes are designed to bring joy into that display of affection,
from your own comfort cooking to your loved ones' delight at the
delicious flavors, to knowing that you're caring for your family's
nutrition with each bite. Though many of her meals are fully paleo
compliant, or at the very least paleo-ish, there are plenty of
other recipes with simple, flexible ingredient swaps for a cleaner
meal when desired-perfect for people who are enjoying their "food
freedom" stage of their health journey. And for those who have
dietary restrictions, Alex clearly marks each recipe as
gluten-free, dairy-free, grain-free, and paleo, as appropriate.

levels of cooking skill and provides food for every occasion, with
soups, salads, pasta, vegetarian and non-vegetarian mains, apps,
and sides ranging from one-pot meals to not-so-junky junk food--and

real, busy life, The Comfortable Kitchen is a must-have cookbook
for everyone who cares about what they eat and what they make.
Fitness expert Adam Zickerman presents a revolutionary exercise
program - slow strength training - that will forever change the way
people work out. The Power of 10 seems to contradict nearly
everything we're accustomed to hearing about exercise. Forget hours
on the treadmill, and forget daily visits to the gym. This new
program offers 20 minute workout sessions, once or twice per week,
with an alluring emphasis on rest and recovery on your days off.
The principle behind The Power of 10 is simple: by lifting weights
in slow motion, making each rep last 20 seconds (10 seconds lifting
and 10 seconds lowering) instead of the typical 7 seconds, you can
maximize muscle transformation. The short workouts are so effective
that your body will need days to recover and repair properly.
Studies have shown that such routines can increase lean body mass,
help burn calories more efficiently, and prevent cardio-vascular
disease more effectively than aerobic exercise alone.

Type-2 diabetes doesn't have to be a lifelong condition; for many
people, especially those who have been recently diagnosed, it's
possible to reverse the symptoms of this malignant disease. But how

kick the disease by following a carefully structured, low-carb,
whole-food diet and starting a modest exercise regime. Conquer Type
2 Diabetes describes what he did to lose 31 kilos and all his
diabetes signs (high blood sugar, high cholesterol, high blood
pressure) and symptoms. It explains how he managed carbs, calories,
sugars and weight loss, plus the light exercise regime he adopted
to strengthen his chances. In so doing he answers the question so
many people have been asking him - what did you do to shed an
illness that affects more than 400 million people worldwide and is
conventionally regarded as incurable and progressive? The book
includes the author's meal and exercise plan and 40 mouth-watering
low-carb recipes to ensure eating can remain a pleasure and

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. Ian K. Smith, a
powerful six-week plan to burn fat more efficiently by improving
metabolic flexibility. The human body has the amazing ability to
switch which fuels it uses for energy based on what fuel is
available at the time-researchers call this metabolic flexibility.
Bodies that are able to make this switch can burn sugars, proteins,
and other food nutrients when available, and then switch to burning
the body's fat storage or fatty acids when food calories are not
available. It turns out that losing weight is not just about
burning calories, it's also about switching between these pathways
as efficiently as possible. Yet little has been written about how
to achieve metabolic flexibility-until now. Dr. Ian K. Smith is a
renowned medical expert and the author of numerous bestselling
health books. In The Met Flex Diet, he offers a one-of-a-kind plan
to improve metabolic flexibility through changing the types and
quantities of food/beverages consumed, as well as the type of
exercise. Timing is also a factor-timing of meals and timing of
exercise relative to when the meals are consumed. All of these
variables will play an important role in helping the body make the
important switch from one fuel source to another. In just six
weeks, readers can experience amazing fat-burning results by
following simple guidelines, like: Eat the first meal of the day
three hours after waking. Complete a fasted cardio workout within
the first two hours of waking. Get at least seven hours of sleep a
night. Finish dinner two hours before going to sleep. Complete with
meal and exercise plans, as well as recipes, The Met Flex Diet
gives readers every tool they need to meet their weight loss goals.
