People annually spend billions of pounds Chr(45) needlessly - on vitamins, minerals, herbal concoctions, ergogenic aids, fitness equipment and apparel, and alternative health-care treatments. Dr Larry M. Forness provides the critical tools to help you evaluate the many health-care and fitness services and products available today. Using actual ads as examples, Forness presents the best ways to keep from ever being duped again by an industry that is rife with deception and ignorance, and also includes specific tips from industry "insiders". The ultimate goal is to make you self-sufficient in appraising industry hype, and to give you the criteria to test real-world results against marketing claims. By judicious use of VIPs - Very Important Points - and concise checklists throughout the book, readers are given the most important facts in a readily usable form. Topics covered include the real meaning of "scientifically proven"; methods for quantitatively analysing such claims as "more energy" and "improved strength"; fad diets; fitness equipment; ageing remedies; abuse of the labels "certified", "registered", and "licensed"; plus an extremely useful glossary. Before you begin yet another weight-loss or fitness program or buy some new health-care product, you owe it to yourself to read what Dr Forness has to say.

The ancient Greeks trained in the nude in the gymnasium and also competed in the buff in the Olympic Games – they literally had skin in the game. The ancient Greek word for gymnasium – gumnasia – means to train naked. However, the ancient Greek gyms were not just for physical training but also had dedicated spaces for intellectual exercise, for philosophy, teaching and conversation.

To train naked is to show up just as you are – no pretences, no masks, no BS. We train to compete, we practise in order to nail a presentation. We should also be training to become better human beings, to craft meaningful lives, do work that matters, and to thrive in chaos. Pierre du Plessis’s daily reflections, meditations and practices presented in this book are a call to train naked, to practise for the ultimate marathon, and to have skin in the game.

Train Naked is a curated selection of short reflections – prompts to get skin in the game – on building a meaningful life and doing work that matters. Combined with a selection of ancient practices, such as meditation, Pierre’s thoughts and ideas aim to inspire each reader to take charge, to try, to act, to learn and to do.

'Jumpstart ' takes a multipronged approach to heath and wellness that provides impressive results quickly.

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.

In this newly revised and condensed version of Made to Crave, Lysa encourages you to: Break the cycle of "I'll start again Monday" and start taking steps toward consistency that lasts Stop agonizing over numbers on the scale and make peace with your body Replace rationalizations that lead to failure with wisdom that leads to victory Reach your healthy goals and grow closer to God through the process This is not a "how-to" book.
