In this practical yet scientific guide, leading researcher in
cancer, heart disease, and diabetes prevention Kedar N. Prasad,
Ph.D., reveals the latest revolutionary discoveries on the use of
antioxidants and micronutrients to treat diabetes. He details how
the proper combinations of vitamin and antioxidant supplements can
greatly increase the effectiveness of standard medical treatments
to halt and even reverse the progression of both type I and type II
diabetes and prevent onset in those who are diagnosed as
prediabetic. Prasad shows how chronic inflammation, oxidative
stress, and free radical damage are the chief culprits for the
progression of diabetes and its complications and that merely
changing your diet and activity level and regulating blood glucose
levels cannot fully counteract this unhealthy internal state. He
provides an easy-to-follow daily supplement regime for both
diabetics and prediabetics in multiple age groups to target free
radical damage and cell injury and stop the progression of diabetes
complications. Reviewing much of the scientific research on
diabetes treatment, he debunks the flawed conclusions of the
medical community that vitamins and antioxidants are ineffective,
revealing how the studies focused on specific micronutrients rather
than synergistic combinations. Offering the missing complement to
the standard care of diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes promoted
by mainstream medicine, this guide provides a truly holistic
approach to diabetes prevention, treatment, and care.

stronger, and how to refine the body you were born with to be lean,
strong and flexible, with step-by-step advice, meal plans, workout

that helped maintain her own ballerina body while recovering from
an injury. Misty's eating plan focuses on vegetables, fruits, plant
fats, animal proteins and beneficial oils - all of which keep her
energetic and in top shape. With simple and delicious recipes for
Granola, Spinach and Goat Cheese Salad, Quick Salsa Chili, and even
a Ballerina Smoothie, you'll be satisfied and happy while getting
leaner. To keep you motivated, Misty gives tips and words of
encouragement on persevering even when you may want to give up,
including a peek into her personal journal, to inspire you and help

The ketogenic diet has taken the world by storm, and deservedly so:
its results in helping people lose weight, manage chronic health
conditions, and simply feel great are unmatched. Bestselling
cookbook author Maria Emmerich sits at the forefront of the keto
movement and has become the go-to source for high-fat, low-carb
recipes that both please the palate and nourish the body. With Keto
Restaurant Favorites, Maria delivers once again by putting a new
and unprecedented twist on ketogenic cooking. Eating keto doesn't
mean that you have to give up the dishes you love! Instead, Maria
shows you how to re-create those recipes, keto-style.
A low-carb, ketogenic diet has been known for pushing plants to the
side in favor of heavier meat consumption, but in her previous
book, Vegan Keto, Liz MacDowell demonstrates that it's entirely
doable to be keto while avoiding animal products. Not everyone has
the ability or the desire to maintain such a rigid diet, however.
In this new book, Plant-Forward Keto, Liz shows you how to keep
healthy plant foods at the center of your plate while allowing a
little meat on the side when you want to, while still reaping all
the benefits of a keto diet.
The truth is most people don't actually need grueling, extreme
workouts or aggressively limited diets to lose weight and feel
proud to flaunt their bodies in bathing suits. What they need is a
plan that is focused on efficiency - the best results for the least
amount of time and effort - and one that is actually designed to be
maintained for more than 30 days. In The Minimum Method, by
nutrition expert and celebrity fitness trainer Joey Thurman, you'll
learn a wealth of practical advice, simple nutrition truths,
minimal-effort recipes, and how to exercise smarter, not harder.
Instead of unrealistic workouts and time-consuming meal plans,
Thurman's science-backed method is based on getting the maximum
benefit out of things like quick and simple "exercise snacks" and
sleep hygiene hacks. Thurman doesn't shy away from the shortcomings
of the mainstream health/fitness/diet industry - in fact, he
acknowledges and apologises for his own past experience in
perpetuating the harmful myth that everyone should be pushing their
bodies to the limit in order to improve. Now, he's on a mission to
help others prioritise genuine health instead of some imaginary and
unattainable standard of perfection. Ultimately, The Minimum Method
teaches how to adopt a healthier mindset and lifestyle: feeling
your best when you don't get enough sleep, working fitness into
your busiest days, getting back on track when you slip up, and
celebrating your progress. With The Minimum Method, you'll have the
key to better health, using small, easy changes that add up to
huge, life-altering results.
