Powerbiotique - Les super-pouvoirs de votre intestin !

Health, Mind & Body

Les super-pouvoirs de votre intestin !Notre santé se jouerait-elle dans notre assiette ? Les récentes découvertes scientifiques autour du microbiote révolutionnent notre appréhension de l'alimentation. Les intolérances alimentaires, la prise excessive d'antibiotiques, les pesticides et les perturbateurs endocriniens sont désormais reconnus comme des facteurs incontestables d'appauvrissement de notre flore intestinale. Ils affaiblissent notre organisme et entraînent l'apparition de maladies chroniques, sources de mal-être au quotidien : maux de tête ou d'estomac, fatigue, troubles du sommeil, douleurs articulaires mais aussi maladies auto-immunes (comme le diabète de type 1), cardiovasculaires et neurodégénératives. Au fait des plus récentes recherches internationales sur notre microbiote, extraits d'entretiens avec des spécialistes mondiaux à l'appui, Marion Kaplan et Alma Rota nous emmènent à la découverte des super-pouvoirs de notre intestin. A travers des explications scientifiques claires et accessibles à tous, des outils de diagnostic simples et des recettes aussi savoureuses que gourmandes, les auteures nous livrent les clés d'une alimentation adaptée pour une santé optimale. Une véritable bible théorique et pratique, à la pointe de l'actualité scientifique et médicale, pour prendre soin de votre "deuxième cerveau" !

Health, Mind & Body

Zur Ruhe kommen! Die Welt vergessen! Davon träumen Millionen, die nachts wach liegen. Und die, wie die Bilder zeigen, eigenwillige Einschlafrituale entwickeln. GEO-Redakteurin Hania Luczak gehörte zu den Geplagten. Bis sie sich aufmachte, Hilfe zu finden. Die großen Themen der Zeit sind manchmal kompliziert. Aber oft genügt schon eine ausführliche und gut recherchierte GEO-Reportage, um sich wieder auf die Höhe der Diskussion zu bringen. Für die Reihe der GEO-eBook-Singles hat die Redaktion solche Einzeltexte als pure Lesestücke ausgewählt. Sie waren vormals Titelgeschichten oder große Reportagen in GEO.

Planéta vírusov

Health, Mind & Body

Boli tu pred nami, sú tu s nami a budú tu, aj keď my nebudeme... vírusy. Slovo, ktorého význam sa definitívne ustálil až s vedeckým napredovaním modernej doby, označujúci látku, o ktorej existencii sa vedelo už v dávnej histórii bez toho, že by ju niekto videl. Jej zničujúce dôsledky nikto nebral na ľahkú váhu, ale tohto nepriateľa umožnilo zazrieť až objavenie a skonštruovanie elektrónového mikroskopu. A odvtedy sú vírusy neutíchajúcim zdrojom tých najneočakávanejších prekvapení. Aj pre vedcov.

Ratgeber Tics

Health, Mind & Body

Bei Tics handelt es sich um unwillkürliche, plötzlich auftretende Muskelzuckungen oder Bewegungen, die sich beispielsweise in Form von Blinzeln, Grimassieren, Augenverdrehen oder Kopfrucken zeigen, oder um Äußerungen von Lauten, Geräuschen, Worten oder Sätzen. Treten sie als Kombination aus motorischen und vokalen Tics auf, spricht man von einem Tourette-Syndrom. Die aktualisierte Auflage des Ratgebers gibt eine knappe Übersicht über die Erscheinungsformen, die Ursachen, den Verlauf und die Behandlungsmöglichkeiten von Tic-Störungen. Der Ratgeber will Eltern, Lehrkräften und anderen Bezugspersonen eine erste Orientierung geben, wenn sie mit einer Tic-Störung in der Familie oder im Beruf konfrontiert werden. Außerdem erhalten Jugendliche, die von Tics betroffen sind, Tipps zur Selbsthilfe. Der Ratgeber enthält zahlreiche konkrete Ratschläge, die dabei helfen, in der Familie und in der Schule mit der Tic-Problematik besser zurechtzukommen.

Health, Mind & Body

Uno dei fenomeni dei nostri anni, il Rinascimento psichedelico, ha avuto un inizio. Questo è il racconto del prima e del dopo. Un gruppo di ragazzi di provincia si imbatte in una sostanza capace di far star meglio chi sta già bene e decide di andare a rendere omaggio al suo scopritore, Albert Hofmann. Ne scaturisce un viaggio che è soprattutto un percorso di scoperta, tra verità, mezze verità e menzogne; tra libri e ricerche; tra saperi ed esigenze contrastanti, forse contraddittorie.

Tibetan Yoga of Movement

Health, Mind & Body

Tibetan Yoga of Movement introduces the method of Yantra Yoga, a traditional Tibetan form that is one of the oldest recorded systems of yoga in the world. Derived from an eighth-century Tibetan Buddhist text, Yantra Yoga includes many positions similar to those of Hatha Yoga in form, but different in the dynamics of the way in which they are practiced, especially in the coordination of movement and breathing. The Yantra Yoga system encompasses 108 sets of movements (yantras) and several types of breathing to be learned at your own pace. Due to its emphasis on uniting breathing and movement, Yantra Yoga can deepen the experience of yoga practitioners from any tradition and profoundly benefit anyone seeking authentic balance, harmony, and the understanding of our true nature. Since the eighth century, this yoga teaching has been passed down from teacher to student in an unbroken lineage. Chögyal Namkhai Norbu, the current lineage holder, began transmitting Yantra Yoga in the West in the 1970s. Presenting detailed instructions accompanied by over 400 instructional photos, the book describes the sequences of movements, methods of breathing, and the concrete health benefits of the practice.

Mindennek van határa

Health, Mind & Body

"A határt úgy definiálom, mint egyértelműen kijelölt korlátot, amelyet akörül létesítesz, hogy másoknak hogyan teszed lehetővé a hozzád való kapcsolódást oly módon, ahogy az számodra és a kapcsolat számára egészséges és biztonságos. A szótár szerint a határ "egy vonal, amely egy terület korlátait jelöli ki", és ez egy jó megközelítési mód. Képzeld el, hogy egy mező közepén állsz! Most rajzolj magad köré egy képzeletbeli kört - ez egy határ. Bármi, amit a körön belül engedsz, elfogadható számodra, mert biztonságos, egészséges, és jó érzést okoz. Bármit, ami elfogadhatatlan, a körön kívül tartasz, mert nem érzed biztonságosnak, egészségesnek, vagy általánosan rossznak érzed. Létrehozhatsz korlátot más emberekkel, bizonyos beszédtémákkal, magatartásformákkal vagy a saját tetteiddel szemben is - és mindig te felelsz azért, hogy hol húzódik az a korlát, és rajtad áll a betartatása is." Mit tehetnék a folyamatos kimerültség ellen? Miként szabadulhatnék fel az állandó nyomás alól? Hogyan öntsem szavakba, mire van szükségem? Melissa Urban, aki életmód-tanácsadóként millióknak segített már abban, hogy visszanyerjék testi és lelki egészségüket, pontosan tudja a választ a fenti kérdésekre. Szerinte a titok nem más, mint hogy néha nemet kell mondanunk és világosan meg kell húznunk a határainkat. A Mindennek van határa egyszerű útmutatóit olvasva napról napra sokat tehetünk azért, hogy egyre magabiztosabb és önazonosabb döntéseket hozzunk. - Tanácsok a hatékony, őszinte és együttérző kommunikációhoz. - Tippek a bűntudat, a kifogások és a nyomasztó gondolatok ellen. - Több mint 130 mintaszöveg az egészséges határhúzáshoz - minden élethelyzetre. A tartalomból: Határok létesítése a munkahelyen - Határok létesítése szüleinkkel és családtagjainkkal - Határok létesítése barátokkal és szomszédokkal - Határok létesítése szerelmi kapcsolatban - Határok létesítése szülőtárssal - Határok létesítése az evéssel és az alkoholfogyasztással kapcsolatban - Határok létesítése érzékeny témák körül - Határok létesítése és megtartása magaddal - Hogyan tartsd tiszteletben mások határait "Melissa Urban megtanít minket, hogyan álljunk ki magunkért, és felvértez bennünket mindennel, ami ahhoz kell, hogy visszanyerjük az időnket, az energiánkat és az egészségünket."

But then at that time longevity was the rule and not the exception. This process of growing old chronologically is a normal process of life. It occurs in every living thing present in nature. External factors also age nonliving things with the passage of time. A person is called old on the basis of his chronological age. That is why in the 21st century, anyone who has passed the age of three score and 10 will be considered to be old. However, in olden times, people lived for anywhere between 200 to 300 years, and still managed to look youthful and had as much energy as young adults.The slowing down of the aging process is due to many factors, most of which are not present in the 21st century scenario. This includes clean-air, healthy pollution free atmosphere, a good natural diet, lots of exercise, and also a strong disease-free gene line.With the passing of time, the natural good health and comparatively long age enjoyed by man 5000 years ago, has deteriorated a lot. The functional state of a living organism which is also known as the biological age is going to have a great influence on the aging of the person. This is going to show up mentally and physically in signs. Bring off the hair on the scalp is one such feature. Another feature is the presence of wrinkles and folds on the face, forehead, neck and forearms.

Epic Measures

Health, Mind & Body

Moneyball meets medicine in this remarkable chronicle of one of the greatest scientific quests of our time—the groundbreaking program to answer the most essential question for humanity: how do we live and die?—and the visionary mastermind behind it.Medical doctor and economist Christopher Murray began the Global Burden of Disease studies to gain a truer understanding of how we live and how we die. While it is one of the largest scientific projects ever attempted—as breathtaking as the first moon landing or the Human Genome Project—the questions it answers are meaningful for every one of us: What are the world’s health problems? Who do they hurt? How much? Where? Why?Murray argues that the ideal existence isn’t simply the longest but the one lived well and with the least illness. Until we can accurately measure how people live and die, we cannot understand what makes us sick or do much to improve it. Challenging the accepted wisdom of the WHO and the UN, the charismatic and controversial health maverick has made enemies—and some influential friends, including Bill Gates who gave Murray a $100 million grant.In Epic Measures, journalist Jeremy N. Smith offers an intimate look at Murray and his groundbreaking work. From ranking countries’ healthcare systems (the U.S. is 37th) to unearthing the shocking reality that world governments are funding developing countries at only 30% of the potential maximum efficiency when it comes to health, Epic Measures introduces a visionary leader whose unwavering determination to improve global health standards has already changed the way the world addresses issues of health and wellness, sets policy, and distributes funding.

Health, Mind & Body

What does it mean to grow older as a lesbian, gay, bisexual or trans (LGBT) person? What gaps in knowledge about LGBT ageing remain?

The book discusses the project and contains chapters either specially commissioned or written by leading researchers and activists in the field.Informed by a range of theoretical perspectives, empirical research studies, critical observations as well as lived experiences, this book explores areas of LGBT ageing that have been under-studied. These include: bisexual ageing; trans ageing and older trans people’s mental health; ethnicity, culture and religion in the lives of older LGBT people and gaps in knowledge about older LGBT people from minority ethnic communities; intergenerational networks; residential and end-of-life care; and the effects of austerity on services. Written in an accessible style, this book is essential for researchers and policy makers interested in the lives of older LGBT people, people who work with older people and teachers and students interested in ageing, gender identity and sexuality.

Il sesso delle donne

Health, Mind & Body

Memoir, pamphlet, manifesto, con squarci da stand-up comedy: non è semplice definire Il sesso delle donne poiché è tutte queste cose insieme e molto altro ancora. In un flusso travolgente, Anne Akrich ci trascina di fronte alla montagna dei suoi ricordi da scalare (alcuni estremamente dolorosi, altri semplicemente esilaranti), dei suoi pensieri spesso «grigio antracite tendenti al nero ebano», per capire come ci ritroviamo a leggere le spavalde confessioni di una donna, per sua stessa definizione, «vulvocentrica». Il punto di partenza è proprio il sesso delle donne, da cui tutto è cominciato, da cui da sempre tutto comincia. Con una metafora bellica, è la trincea da cui raccontare il campo di battaglia che è diventata oggi la relazione tra donne e uomini, da cui raccontare le storie di guerra e di vendetta che tutti, pure quelli che non lo sanno, devono ascoltare ancora e ancora. In questo libro iconoclasta, in cui la rabbia arrembante si mescola all’umorismo corrosivo, Akrich si spinge con rara audacia a esprimere a voce alta ciò che molte donne confessano solo a sé stesse e che molti uomini si rifiutano perfino di concepire: la centralità del desiderio femminile, l’ambiguità della maternità, le infinite gradazioni dello stupro, l’enorme zona grigia del consenso, il dialogo impossibile tra i sessi, l’importanza delle parole esatte per nominare tutto questo. Un atto ancora necessario – anche dopo decenni di femminismo – a superare la misoginia pervicace e secoli di stereotipi sul sesso, e sul piacere femminile. E se la risata fosse l’arma piú potente per seppellire i nostri sterili antagonismi? «Corrosiva, esilarante e insieme seria, Anne Akrich basta, da sola, a fare un intero movimento femminista». Virginie Despentes «Anne Akrich invoca una riconciliazione del desiderio. Un testo pieno di rabbia e di divertimento, intimo e stimolante. Una storia personale che si trasforma in un manifesto del femminismo». Elle «Un libro stupefacente, furioso e pieno di coraggio, una prosa esilarante, trouvailles che sono rivelazioni intime e dolorose». Le Monde

Pontos cegos

Neste livro esclarecedor, o médico-cirurgião e pesquisador de políticas públicas Marty Makary discute uma série alarmante de erros na área da saúde e como isso impacta nossas vidas, sem deixar de lado, entretanto, os possíveis caminhos para restabelecermos a confiança na medicina.Durante décadas, a comunidade médica demonizou as gorduras naturais dos alimentos, o que levou as pessoas a consumirem mais carboidratos processados e açúcares; também contribuiu para a atual crise das bactérias resistentes a antibióticos quando afirmou que eles não ofereciam efeitos colaterais; impediu inúmeras mulheres na menopausa de se beneficiarem da terapia de reposição hormonal ao associá-la, erroneamente, ao câncer de mama. Como os médicos puderam errar tanto?Uma das principais vozes da comunidade científica, o dr. Makary mostra como muitas das atuais recomendações médicas adotadas por governos e organizações de saúde nem sempre estão fundamentadas em evidências sólidas, mas em compadrios políticos e corporativismo — e que os "consensos" nem sempre têm bases científicas consistentes. Uma leitura essencial para todos que buscam por mais informações sobre a prática médica."Este livro é um alerta." — Peter Attia, MD, autor de Outlive"Uma biografia fascinante da medicina moderna." — Steve Messeh, diretor-executivo da Hope Multiplied"Este livro revolucionário tem tudo o que precisamos saber para assumir o controle da nossa própria saúde." — Dra.

Tönkretett figyelem

Health, Mind & Body

Sokunkhoz hasonlóan az újságíró Johann Hari is kénytelen volt belátni, hogy napjai nagy részében felváltva bámul különböző képernyőket, és képtelen rendesen koncentrálni. Miután nem sikerült megoldania a problémát, járni kezdte a világot, hogy aztán három éven át beszélgessen az emberi figyelemről különböző szakértőkkel. Utazása során arra jutott, hogy téves feltételezésekkel éltünk erről a válságról. Könyvében bemutatja többek között a Szilícium-völgy néhány kiugrott fejlesztőjét, akik megtanulták meghackelni az emberek koncentrációját; egy Rio de Janeiró-i nyomornegyedet, ahol az emberek egészen szürreális módon veszítették el a tisztánlátásukat; és egy új-zélandi irodát, ahol rendhagyó megoldással állították helyre a dolgozók termelékenységét. Hari az álmodozás lehetőségének eltűnésétől kezdve a technológia uralmán át a fokozódó környezetszennyezésig tizenkét tényezőt azonosít be, amelyek felelőssé tehetőek figyelmünk romlásáért. Ugyanakkor azt is világossá teszi, hogy egyénekként és társadalomként is tehetünk lépéseket a probléma enyhítése érdekében.
