Les bactéries, des amis qui vous veulent du bien

Health, Mind & Body

Et si on vous disait que notre intestin est l'endroit sur la Terre où la densité est la plus élevée ? Et si on vous disait que ces100 000 milliards de bactéries qui peuplent notre tube digestif sont des amiesqui nous veulent que du bien ? Il esturgentaujourd'hui, comme nous le démontrent deux éminents spécialistes des bactéries, de réhabiliter ces mal-aimées qui préservent notre santé.Nous naissons stériles, mais sommes envahisdès notre toute première seconde de viepardes bactéries qui resteront en nous définitivement. Fort heureusement, nous vivons enparfaite symbioseavec elles. Nos bactéries sont heureuses en nous et elles nous le rendent bien car, malgré leur mauvaise réputation, elles sont bienveillantes et nous protègent de nombre de maladies. L'intestin, surnommé " deuxième cerveau ",nous contrôle grâce à elles : nos amies les bactéries nousaident à digérer, ànous protégerdes microbes malveillants età les combattre, mais surtout elles nousdéfendent contre l'obésité,les allergies,les douleurs du ventreet lesmaladies digestives. Mieux encore, elles parviennent à nous protéger desmaladies cardiaquesainsi que de certains cancers, et peuvent même modifier notre comportement, nous rendre sensibles ou nous protéger vis-à-vis de la consommation d'alcool.L'évolution de l'humanité a entraîné avec elle l'évolution des bactéries, mais c'est surtout ces dernière années que notre société s'est transformée, et très vite : modifications de notre alimentation (régime trop gras et/ou trop sucré, additifs alimentaires, édulcorants), augmentation des voyages et migrations humaines, apparition des antibiotiques. Nous avons perdu certaines bactéries, et cela a entraîné des conséquences, d'abord insoupçonnées, mais maintenant mieux comprises : notre déséquilibre bactérien, appelé dysbiose, participe à l'obésité, au diabète, aux douleurs et aux maladies cardiaques ou du tube digestif, à l'augmentation de certains cancers et même au développement de troubles psychiatriques, comme le stress ou l'autisme. Comment nos bactéries nous contrôlent-elles ? Comment protéger notre capital bactérien dès notre plus jeune âge et retrouver une flore bactérienne normale en cas de déséquilibre, de dysbiose ? Peut-on se soigner en agissant sur nos bactéries bienveillantes ? Que penser des antibiotiques qui détruisent les bactéries ?

Weefselsoute vir Heilsaamheid

Health, Mind & Body

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. Dié 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 moeë, afgematte liggaam weer blakend gesond te maak en wakker en positiewe denke te herstel.

Konec stárnutí

Health, Mind & Body

>> „Konec stárnutí je poutavá a svižná kniha – strhne vás do víru poznatků současnosti a možností blízké budoucnosti, v níž se devadesátníci stávají novými sedmdesátníky.“ — časopis Nature << ## O knize Říká se, že stáří je přirozené a jeho následky neodvratitelné. Říká se, že poslední desetiletí života jsme odsouzeni trpět nemocemi. Kdo by chtěl žít do sta let, když nás čeká jen bolestné přežívání a žádná zábava? David Sinclair spolu s dalšími předními odborníky na dlouhověkost však toto paradigma mění, když dokažuje, že STÁRNUTÍ JE NEMOC, KTEROU LZE LÉČIT. Autor odhaduje, že se i vy dožijete sta let. A po přečtení knihy zjistíte, že nepřehání. Věda dnes dokáže zbrzdit, zastavit i zvrátit stárnutí zvířat, klinické studie na lidech se chystají. Jejich cílem však není pouhé prodloužení života, ale také zachování zdraví a vitality. Seznamte se i vy s posledními výzkumy, s nově vyvíjenými způsoby léčby a s tím, jak tyto poznatky aplikovat již teď ve svém životě. A raději začněte plánovat, kam vezmete své prapravnuky na výlet. ## V knize se mimo jiné dozvíte - Že stárnutí není předem zabudováno do DNA – významnou roli při něm hraje opravitelná kumulace epigenetického šumu. - Co je to hormeze a jak aktivně zpomalovat stárnutí otužováním, půstem a dalšími úpravami životního stylu. - Které potraviny, doplňky a léky mají nejlepší laboratorně prokázané účinky proti stárnutí. - Jak je možné už dnes pracovat na tom, aby naše poslední dekády byly i nejlepšími léty našeho života. - Proč zdravé stáří a delší život lidstva nepředstavují hrozbu, ale naopak požehnání pro planetu i ekonomiku. ## O autorech David A. Sinclair (* 1969) je profesor genetiky na Harvardské lékařské fakultě a člen správní rady Americké federace pro výzkum stárnutí. Za svůj výzkum a významné vědecké průlomy získal více než třicet pět ocenění. Podle časopisu Time patří mezi 100 nejvlivnějších lidí na světě a TOP 50 ve zdravotnictví. Jeho práce byly představeny v magazínech Today, The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Fortune či Newsweek. S manželkou a třemi dětmi žije v Bostonu, rád se věnuje pěší turistice a jízdě na kajaku. Matthew LaPlante je bývalý zpravodajec amerického námořnictva a válečný korespondent na Blízkém východě, nyní přednáší žurnalistiku na Utažské státní univerzitě. Je autorem knihy Superlative: The Biology of Extremes (Superlativ: Biologie extrémů) a vedle Konce stárnutí spoluautorem několika dalších. Žije v Salt Lake City. >> „Pokud jste si někdy kladli otázku, jak stárneme, jestli můžeme stárnutí zpomalit, nebo dokonce zvrátit a jestli se lze ve zdraví dožít stovky, nová kniha Davida Sinclaira Konec stárnutí vám představí vědecké poznatky i praktické strategie, jak si zajistit celoživotní zdraví a dlouhý život plný energie.“ — Mark Hyman, M. D., ředitel Centra funkční medicíny na Cleveland Clinic << >> „Tohle je nejvíce vizionářská kniha o stárnutí, jakou jsem kdy četl. Užívejte dne – a užijte si tuhle knihu!.“ — Dean Ornish, M. D., zakladatel a prezident Výzkumného ústavu preventivní medicíny << >> „David Sinclair nám ve své knize Konec stárnutí výmluvně prozrazuje tajemství, které by chtěl znát každý: jak žít déle a stárnout pomaleji. Dožívat se více než sta let je podle něj nejen možné, ale jednoho dne to nevyhnutelně musí přijít. Chcete-li vědět, jak vyzrát na stárnutí, je pro vás tahle kniha povinnou četbou.“ — William W.

La medicina antroposofica

Health, Mind & Body

Il libro La Medicina Antroposofica di Michael Evans e Iain Rodger presenta in modo semplice e chiaro la filosofia e la pratica dell'antroposofia, medicina fondata dal dottor Rudolf Steiner nel 1920 e diffusa in tutto il mondo. La medicina convenzionale si focalizza sui sintomi fisici del corpo, ma sono sempre di più i pazienti che mettono in dubbio i limiti di questo approccio. Contemporaneamente cresce l'interesse verso terapie olistiche per curare il corpo, l'anima e lo spirito, come la medicina antroposofica, che prende in considerazione il paziente nella sua interezza. Antroposofia una medicina complementare L'antroposofia steineriana è un ampliamento della medicina convenzionale, non un sostituto. Va quindi conseiderata come medicina complementare. L'obiettivo principale del suo approccio olistico è stimolare le naturali forze guaritrici presenti in ogni persona considerando il corpo fisico del paziente, il suo corpo eterico - cioè l'organizzazione della sua vita - il corpo astrale - che fa riferimento alla psiche - e l'organizzazione dell'io - cioè la sua autoconsapevolezza e autodeterminazione. Il libro del dottor Evans oltre a spiegare i principi base dell'antroposofia esamina anche le arti antroposofiche, discipline olistiche come l'arte terapia, il massaggio ritmico e l’euritmia terapeutica, l'arte del movimento che attraverso la gestualità del corpo rende visibile parole e musica. Nella sua analisi l'Autore affronta pure problemi di salute come medicina antroposofica e cancro, le malattie infantili, i disturbi mentali. Il libro La Medicina Antroposofica di Michael Evans è scritto in modo da poter fornire informazioni preziose comprensibili anche al lettore privo di conoscenze mediche interessato a terapie olistiche e salute.
