Eating, Drinking, Overthinking

Health, Mind & Body

The author of Women Who Think Too Much reveals a hidden source of depression in women, with "useful recommendations for change" (Psychology Today). Depression is a common and debilitating problem among women, though it rarely occurs in a vacuum. As Susan Nolen-Hoeksema's original research shows, overthinking—a tendency to ruminate on problems rather than to seek solutions—often co-exists with unhealthy eating habits and/or heavy drinking. In fact, eighty percent of women who report suffering from one of those also suffer from another. This groundbreaking book, written in a vivid narrative style that captures the complexities of women's lives today, explains how the three core problems of the Toxic Triangle reinforce one another, wreaking havoc on women's emotional well-being, physical health, relationships, and careers. Escape is possible, the author assures us, for those who are already aware that they suffer from a serious problem as well as for the hundreds of thousands of others who have not yet examined the role that bingeing and purging—on negative thoughts, food, or alcohol—plays in their lives. Nolen-Hoeksema shows women how to harness their emotional and interpersonal strengths to overcome the stress caused by a destructive relationship with food, alcohol, and overthinking so that they can fashion effective strategies for living a happier, healthier life.

Manhood

Health, Mind & Body

As a man, you have probably been sent several emails promising you a quick solution to whatever penis or sexual problem you may have. The emails indicate that you are not alone. If there were no such demands for help, those emails would not be filling up every man's email folders. I am not here to tell you that sexual and penis enlargement pills, creams, and machines do not work (even though I have serious doubts about most of their claims), but there are some natural tips and techniques that I know work. I know they work because I have tried some of them. Also, have you seen those National Geographic photos of those natives in Africa that have penises so long that they tie them in knots? They are not that long naturally! I am delighted to share this information. It will help you to make your penis bigger, stronger, and longer-lasting. You will have more confidence in yourself and be prouder of your "manhood" than before!

Les écrans se sont invités partout dans nos vies, et dans celles de nos enfants. Ils s'interposent dans les repas, les conversations, les moments de repos, et génèrent tensions, conflits et fatigue. Face à ce fléau, nombreux sont les parents qui se sentent dépassés. Comment poser un cadre sans cris ni culpabilité ? Comment retrouver une vraie qualité de présence en famille ? Dans ce guide éclairant, Bruno Humbeeck propose une méthode simple de déconnexion numérique douce, partagée et accompagnée. Douce parce qu'il n'est pas question d'imposer par la force ce qui peut s'obtenir par la douceur. Accompagnée parce que les renforcements positifs apparaissent plus efficaces que les injonctions autoritaires. Partagée parce que la démarche éducative du parent qui demande à son adolescent de réduire son temps d'écran alors qu'il n'y parvient pas lui-même parait inconsistante. Cet ouvrage est en outre jalonné de tutoriels pour déjouer les automatismes (scrolling, surexposition, impulsivité), mieux gérer son temps d'écran, préserver son sommeil ou prévenir le cyberharcèlement. Par ailleurs, il s'associe à l'application DConnect qui s'attaque à la déconnexion en utilisant précisément les mécanismes qui favorisent notre attrait pour les écrans. Une façon réaliste de maîtriser notre consommation numérique sans rejeter les apports de la modernité.

Vi vet egentligen exakt vad vi behöver göra för att må bättre, men väldigt få av oss gör det. Hälsobalansen innehåller läkaren Rangan Chatterjees samlade kunskap vad gäller vår hälsa.Hans patienter söker vård för att få en diagnos och medicin, men han uppmanar dem i stället att söka svaret i sin livsstil och menar att om vi bara levde mer medvetet skulle många av våra symptom försvinna av sig själva. Livsstil och mat är en kraftfull medicin och här väver han samman sina egna råd med den senaste vetenskapliga forskningen.Boken bygger på de fyra hälsonycklarna Vila, Mat, Rörelse och Sömn. Att hitta balansen mellan de fyra nycklarna - inte sträva efter perfektion inom de enskilda nycklarna - är grunden till en god hälsa. Om du tränar mycket och prestationsinriktat men sover dåligt kommer du ändå inte att må bra.Han ordinerar bland annat egentid i minst en kvart om dagen, periodisk fasta, mer promenader i vardagen och rutiner för sänggåendet som gör att du känner dig pigg när du vaknar. Enkla och inspirerande steg som lätt blir till en daglig rutin!

Stress and Skin Health

Health, Mind & Body

"Stress and Skin Health" explores the profound connection between psychological stress and various skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and hives. It highlights how stress, a prevalent factor in modern life, can trigger or worsen these issues through complex biological pathways.One key insight is the role of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which, when dysregulated by chronic stress, leads to elevated cortisol levels, negatively impacting skin health. The book also investigates how stress activates inflammatory responses, contributing to skin irritation and impaired barrier function.The book takes a holistic approach, integrating knowledge from psychology, dermatology, and endocrinology to provide a comprehensive view of the mind-body connection. It progresses logically, beginning with the fundamentals of stress physiology and skin structure, then delving into specific mechanisms by which cortisol and inflammation affect different skin conditions.Ultimately, "Stress and Skin Health" emphasizes stress management, providing practical techniques like mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy to improve both psychological well-being and skin health. This approach offers a unique perspective, shifting the focus from solely dermatological treatments to a more integrated approach.

Välkomna det ovälkomna

Health, Mind & Body

När vi är mitt uppe i en stor kris – klimatet, en pandemi eller våldet i våra samhällen – finns risken att vi förlorar hoppet, förtvivlar eller vänder oss bort. Men när det känns som att världen står i brand behövs optimismen mer än någonsin, menar Pema Chödrön i "Välkomna det ovälkomna". Passivitet och modlöshet ger ingen hjälp. Inte heller polarisering eller ilska. Pema Chödröns budskap är att vi kan lära oss att lita på vår förmåga till vishet, omsorg och medkänsla, istället för att tappa modet. Hemligheten är paradoxalt nog att öppna sig inför det svåra som sker och välkomna det vi egentligen vill slippa. När vi gör det på Chödröns sätt, och med övningarna i hennes bok, får vi kontakt med vår inre godhet, vishet och styrka. Då kan vi leva helhjärtat även i en förkrossad värld. Hur vi agerar nu kommer att avgöra åt vilket håll världen rör sig. Pema Chödrön lär oss lita på vår grundläggande godhet och ger oss nycklar till både vårt personliga välbefinnande och ett starkare samhälle – nu och i framtiden.
