Over 2 000 years ago Hippocrates wrote: "Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food. Each one of the substances in a man's diet, acts upon his body and changes it in some way, and upon these changes his whole life depends, whether he be in health, in sickness or convalescent. To be sure, there can be little knowledge more necessary." Now, as never before, we have to really reconsider these wise words for in our modern fast-paced, stressed, over-wrought and fear-filled lives, we are not coping and we are not glowing with abundant health and well-being.

The book concludes with an extensive A-Z list of ailments, with information on which danger foods to avoid and which superfoods, supplements and other therapies to consider to bring relief for each of the more than 100 common ailments discussed. This book is essential reading for each of us in our quest for health and energy in an increasingly stress-filled world.

This book explores how different constituencies influenced the development of nineteenth-century swimming in England, and highlights the central role played by swimming professors. These professionals were influential in inspiring participation in swimming, particularly among women, well before the amateur community created the Amateur Swimming Association, and this volume outlines some key life-courses to illustrate their working practices. Female exhibitors were important to professors and chapter three discusses these natationists and their impact on women's swimming. Subsequent chapters address the employment opportunities afforded by new swimming baths and the amateur community that formed clubs and a national organization, which excluded swimming professors, many of whom subsequently worked successfully abroad. Dave Day and Margaret Roberts argue that the critical role played by professors in developing swimming has been forgotten, and suggest that their story is a reminder that individuals were just as important to the foundation of modern sport as the formation of amateur organizations.

Hierdie boek is waarskynlik een van die mees ongewone wat jy ooit sal lees - een wat jou denke oor gesondheid en jou hantering van stres in die daaglikse lewe sal verander. Weefselsoute - ook bekend as sel- of biochemiese soute - is 'n groep van 12 minerale wat perfek gebalanseerd in ons liggame teenwoordig behoort te wees sodat ons heeltemal gesond kan wees. Die soute word in die natuur in die aarde se gesteentes en grond aangetref en kom natuurlik voor in gewasse wat organies in mineraalryke grond gekweek is. Maar met die vinnige tempo van die moderne lewe en die tydbesparende gemors- en geprosesseerde kos wat ons geneig is om te eet, ontbreek dit in ons liggame en word ons vatbaar vir'n wye reeks kwale. Margaret Roberts deel in hierdie boek haar uitgebreide ervaring van hoe om die dieet met weefselsoute aan te vul en hoe dit nie net goeie gesondheid bevorder nie, maar ook spesifieke kwale behandel - in die vorm van 'n tablet wat maklik is om te neem of deur middel van druppels. Margaret beklemtoon dat dit ook belangrik is om baie vrugte, groente en kruie ryk aan die bepaalde minerale te eet, en die name daarvan verskyn in elke hoofstuk. Weefselsoute is binne almal se bereik omdat hulle goedkoop en geredelik by apteke oral in die land beskikbaar is. Dit is die natuur se manier om 'n moee, afgematte liggaam weer blakend gesond te maak en wakker en positiewe denke te herstel.
