*The Sunday Times Bestseller* Does sugar cause type 2 diabetes? Are vegan diets always healthier? Is weight the main driver of our health? No, no and absolutely not - NHS doctor and nutritionist Joshua Wolrich is on a mission to set the record straight. In Food Isn't Medicine, he draws on the latest nutritional science to cut through what he calls 'nutribollocks', unravelling the false beliefs that too often inform how we eat. With candour and compassion, he debunks damaging food myths and dismantles the most pervasive of them all: the myth that your weight defines your health. If you have ever considered intermittent fasting, avoided artificial sweeteners, dairy or carbs for 'health' reasons, or struggled through diet after diet wondering why nothing seems to work, this book will be a powerful wake-up call. 'Excellent - I couldn't put it down' Jameela Jamil 'A beacon of truth in a sea of misinformation' Alice Liveing 'Joshua brings a much-needed dose of reality - calling out the nonsense, helping you steer away from the empty promises of fad diets and giving you the tools to once again have a healthy relationship with food, your body and life' Dr Tim Crowe

This book sets out to celebrate physical education and sport, and by doing so, encourage the educational establishment to embrace the subject area as a vehicle for the complete development of the individual. In addition, it shows that the benefits of physical activity far outweigh the shallow claims of populous magazines - there are benefits for the individual, the community and for society as a whole. Laker contends that the importance of physical education and sport in many areas of social life has been overlooked at best, and misused at worst. Physical activity has a vast contribution to make, not only as a topic of small talk on a Monday morning, but also to the personal and social development of individuals and possibly to the well-being of the global community as a whole. This book explores the land 'beyond the boundaries of the game.'

Say the authors: 'Modern Western life is eroding the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health of our children so seriously that the very survival of our species is threatened. More children than ever are fat and fatigued, learning disabled and emotionally damaged and the responsibility lies with us. We are killing with kindness in an attempt to provide a stress-free, safe environment for our most loved. Green Mother is for those who want the best of both worlds - to reap the advantages of modern Western life but recognise and eschew its pitfalls. This book aims to give parents, would-be parents, grandparents, siblings and all members of 'the Tribe' that surround a new baby, the theoretical and intellectual imperatives to tread this difficult path, together with the practical day-to-day realities that must be overcome and the encouragement to do so.'

Discover the surprising reason restrictive diets don't work-and a practical, science-based guide to reclaim your health through the power of real food. Carbs aren't causing your weight gain. Dairy may not be the reason for your upset stomach. And your liver isn't fatty because of the occasional hamburger. It's time to enjoy eating everything again-and to reclaim our health along the way. Eat Everything offers a better alternative to complicated, minimally effective, and highly restrictive diets. Physician Dawn Harris Sherling lays out compelling new evidence implicating food additives as the real culprits behind diet-related diseases and shares simple, actionable advice to heal. We're constantly told to fear carbs, gluten, and dairy, and we turn to strict diets to solve our health problems. Yet Americans still have one of the highest rates of obesity and diabetes in the world, and millions suffer from digestive ailments like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Digging into emerging research, Dr. Sherling realized it's not the foods but the food additives, especially emulsifiers, that are at the root of our problems. Our bodies can't digest them, but they feed our microbiomes and they're everywhere in the ultra-processed foods that make up about half of our daily diets. In this refreshing and accessible guide, readers will learn: How to lose weight without a restrictive diet Why so many popular ultra-processed foods are actively harmful to our bodies How to navigate eating at restaurants-for any meal or occasion Tips for filling our grocery bags with real food Why avoiding food additives is beneficial for our bodies and minds How to embrace healthful cooking at home, with 30 delicious recipes Dr. Sherling lays out the research on food additives and offers a straightforward guide to eating just about everything (yes, even bread, pasta, and ice cream!) without pain, worry, or guilt. This isn't just another restrictive diet in disguise; it's a call to rediscover our love of real food.

Day by day, this six-week integrated eating and fitness programme gives you simple meal plans using everyday ingredients, and on some days a quick basic home exercise routine.

Everything is planned for you, right down to the shopping lists. And since it's designed by a Frenchwoman who doesn't believe in ""diets"", there's no hardship! Amélie's delicious weekly eating plans are accompanied by simple, healthy recipes and her time-efficient home workouts are explained with clear step-by-step photography. Whatever your goals - perhaps to think more clearly, sleep better, tone up, or lose weight - having a training and nutrition plan that you can realistically follow from day to day will help you feel in control of your life, be kinder to yourself and achieve a sense of balance.

Jodie Kidd - seeking greater control over her frenetic life, eating habits, and approach to exercise - proves the effectiveness of Amélie's plan and shares her experiences as she progresses through the six weeks. She found the programme easy to follow, and realistic enough to fit around her busy life as a single mother and pub landlord. You, too will find that this is a self-care programme you can stick to. And when you get to the end of the six-week plan, Amélie's foolproof strategies for moving forward will help you maintain that control over your life.

We all yearn for a calmer, more balanced, healthy lifestyle - Amélie's plan promises this. That's the reason she's London's go-to personal trainer for successful women.

Our instinctive knowledge of which foods are helpful and which are harmful appears increasingly to be fading. We are bombarded with advice, information and prescriptions as to what we should eat and drink, but the issues surrounding nutrition - questions of health, diet, taste, even ecology and sustainability - remain largely unresolved. Unlike most commentators on this subject, Rudolf Steiner tackles the theme of nutrition in a refreshingly open way. At no point does he try to tell us what we should or should not be putting into our bodies - whether with regard to an omnivorous or vegetarian diet, smoking, drinking alcohol, and so on. The job of the scientist, he says, is to explain how things act and what effect they have; what people do with that information is up to them. However, he emphasizes that our diet not only determines our physical wellbeing, but can also promote or hinder our inner spiritual development. In this carefully collated anthology, with an introduction, commentary and notes by Christian von Arnim, Rudolf Steiner considers nutrition in the light of his spiritual-scientific research. He explains the impact of raw food, vegetarian and meat diets, the effects of protein, fats, carbohydrates and salts, individual foodstuffs such as potatoes, beetroots and radishes, as well as the impact of alcohol and nicotine. His insights are vital to anybody with a serious interest in health, diet and spiritual development.
