We've all heard the mantra, "exercise for good health." In fact,
exercise, or lack of it, may be the most important factor in
avoiding, or surviving and recovering from, the top three killers
across developed countries--heart disease, cancer, and stroke. But
few of us understand exactly how different forms of exercise
work--physiologically speaking--to keep us healthy and prevent or
treat disease. Here, two nationally known exercise experts lead a
stellar team explaining, in reader-friendly terms, what exercise
does to our bodies and how it spurs beneficial biological actions.
In addition to explaining how and why exercise powers us and
promotes longer life, Understanding Fitness includes a review of
social factors affecting exercise. Exercise for specific
conditions--from arthritis to cancer, diabetes, fibromyalgia, and
osteoporosis, is also addressed.
Protecting against cancer and promoting healthy lifestyles is of
utmost importance, but accurate information can be hard to find.
For patients undergoing cancer treatments, proper diet is crucial.
This extensively researched and tested cookbook is a valuable
resource for people who need to prepare and cook meals for an
individual living with cancer and/or a family going through a
lifestyle change. The book is also a helpful and practical gift for
people diagnosed with cancer and their family members and
caregivers. The collection of 162 simple, delicious recipes,
complete with easy step-by-step instructions, uses cancer-fighting,
antioxidant-abundant foods and spices as well as high-fibre foods,
potassium-rich foods and calcium-enriched foods. Some recipes are
designed to maintain or increase weight during cancer treatments
and post-treatment recovery. Low-fat recipes are also included. In
addition to it being useful in helping a loved one recover from
cancer, this cookbook features healthier, lower-fat and fun foods
which are perfect for sharing with all family, relatives and
friends.
