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.

'I was riveted by Sweat and its extraordinary tale of the ups and
downs of exercise over millennia' Jane Fonda 'Does what all good
history books should do: take the past and make it vastly more
human' The Times _________________________ From the author of
Insomniac City 'who can tackle just about any subject in book form,
and make you glad he did' (San Francisco Chronicle): a cultural,
scientific, literary, and personal history of exercise Exercise is
our modern obsession, and we have the fancy workout gear and fads
to prove it. Exercise - a form of physical activity distinct from
sports, play, or athletics - was an ancient obsession, too, but as
a chapter in human history, it's been largely overlooked. In Sweat,
Bill Hayes runs, jogs, swims, spins, walks, bikes, boxes, lifts,
sweats, and downward-dogs his way through the origins of different
forms of exercise, chronicling how they have evolved over time, and
dissecting the dynamics of human movement. Hippocrates, Plato,
Galen, Susan B. Anthony, Jack LaLanne, and Jane Fonda, among many
others, make appearances in Sweat, but chief among the historical
figures is Girolamo Mercuriale, a Renaissance-era Italian physician
who aimed singlehandedly to revive the ancient Greek "art of
exercising" through his 1569 book De arte gymnastica. In the pages
of Sweat, Mercuriale and his illustrated treatise are vividly
brought back to life. asHayes ties his own personal experience to
the cultural and scientific history of exercise, from ancient times
to the present day, he gives us a new way to understand its place
in our lives in the 21st century.
Rest is vital to our well being. As important as adequate hydration
and nourishing foods, the human need for rest is often overlooked
and can be the first thing compromised when we are stressed and
busy. We are having difficulty sleeping and even more often, never
feeling truly refreshed. In "The Power of Rest" readers will learn
about the crucial four types of rest: physical, mental, social, and
spiritual. This 30 day innovative program is based on the author's
years of research and experience with rest-deprived patients.
Through step-by-step instructions, readers will learn how to engage
the body's power to restore, renew and replenish. This program
serves anyone feeling sleep deprived or fatigued as well as
offering a potent program for those wanting to lose weight or heal.
Also, the lack of cellular repair is a major contributing factor to
aging. This program can reverse that tired look that often prompts
the call to a plastic surgeon. Developed by a highly regarded
physician trained in sleep medicine, psychiatry, occupational
health, and internal medicine, Dr. Matthew Edlund brings to us the
perfect blend of knowledge and experience. In this program, rest is
literally restoration as Dr. Edlund skillfully teaches you how to
repair, reproduce, rebuild, and renew the cells that determine our
vitality.
"Exercise, Aging, and Health" examines how social, cognitive,
biological and contextual forces influence activity patterns. First
discussing the pros and cons of physical activity for older
persons, the author summarizes the scientific evidence regarding
the effects of exercise among older adults, and then contrasts it
with the known risks of physical activity among the elderly. The
author provides guidelines for safe and easy movements that will
increase both strength and mobility. Additionally, the book
explores the theoretical reasons for which older people do not
pursue regular physical activity and how seniors may overcome this
reluctance.
"Exercise, Health and Aging" promotes awareness of the necessity
for physical activity among the elderly, and examines implications
for future health and social policy. It is essential reading for
professionals in gerontology, sports psychology, health psychology,
physical education and social science programs that deal with older
populations and community resources. I hope you'll consider this
book for review.
