Dietoterapia
by Elisa EscorihuelaEl método que nos demuestra que comer bien es la mejor medicina. La alimentación es una parte fundamental de nuestro día a día. Lo que comemos y lo que dejamos de comer tienen una incidencia esencial en nuestra salud y nuestro desarrollo físico. Tanto es así que a través suyo podemos prevenir e incluso ayudar en el tratamiento de algunas enfermedades. Esta práctica es lo que se conoce como dietoterapia. La dietoterapia no ofrece nada parecido a dietas milagrosas: se trata de una aproximación estrictamente científica que relaciona los componentes nutricionales con causas y síntomas. Afecciones tan comunes como las intolerancias, las alergias, la diabetes, el colesterol, la endometriosis y la hipertensión arterial pueden combatirse en parte gracias al conocimiento y la práctica de hábitos alimenticios específicamente pensados para ello. Así, a través de los consejos y las recetas y menús semanales que nos propone la dietista y farmacéutica Elisa Escorihuela, aprenderemos a cuidar de nuestra salud de una forma específica y natural. Reseña:«Si somos lo que comemos, con este libro aprenderás a ser tú, sin aditivos ni artificios.»Dr. Julio Mayol

A Different Kind of Health: Finding Well-Being Despite Illness
by Blair JusticeIn this book, Blair Justice, Ph.D., a Professor of Psychology, draws on his own research as well as other findings from both scientific and spiritual literature to present the ways that such people can "get out of themselves" and transcend pain and distress. In doing so, they find a core health deeper than the physical. Along with telling the moving stories of people with this different kind of health, the book gives evidence on how those with chronic illness or physical impairment, though "sick" by medical standards, can experience themselves as "well, " based on the deeper sense of well-being they achieve. Dr. Justice, who is among the "sick but well himself, clearly explains a wide spectrum of useful health-related findings, including how the sick but well get beyond their illness and pain by identifying with something bigger than themselves and their problem; what five ways there are to find a subjective health and an abiding sense that life is good despite pain and illness; how getting rid of old conflicts, hurts, and anger relieves physical pain; why subjective health - one's own sense of well-being despite physical infirmity - is a more powerful predictor of longevity and quality of life than are physical examinations by a doctor and laboratory tests; how finding some benefit or value in adversity positively affects the cardiovascular and immune systems as well as makes life better; and why religion is protective for the chronically ill and injured by reducing the risks of becoming disabled.
Different Strokes: An Intimate Memoir for Stroke Survivors, Families, and Care Givers
by Jie Mao Steven Boorstein"Strokes are the third-leading cause of death in America, and for the 'lucky' stroke victims who don't die, about half will spend the rest of their lives trying to recover." Roughly 700,000 American suffer a stroke each year and around 140,000 of them are fatal. Different Strokes is an in-depth look at what surviving, or not surviving, a stroke can mean. And Steven Boorstein should know-at age fifty-two, he suffered a stroke after a hit on the ski slopes of Vail. Part-memoir, part-how-to, Steven Boorstein's book will help you to recover from a stroke, whether you were the victim of one or had to watch a loved one suffer.Dividing the book into three distinct sections, Boorstein first focuses on his personal experience with a stroke, how he recovered, and his controversial use of medical marijuana to help resurrect his damaged mind and wracked body. The second part of this book explores how others have dealt with a stroke. Hear first-hand from stroke survivors and their loved ones about what effect a stroke had on their marriage, sex life, careers, relationships (with children, relatives, strangers), and more. The finale of the book covers tools and helpful resources-therapies, therapeutic tools, and exercises; organizations for survivors; and key words-for people who have had a stroke, been diagnosed as being at risk, or for those whose loved ones are at risk or are recovering. This is an essential book for anyone who's ever had, or been hurt by, a stroke.

The Difficult Hair Loss Patient
by Ralph M. TrüebYou could read every textbook available on hair growth and disorders, and still not be able to treat hair loss effectively. In every art, there are many techniques, but few principles. The only way to achieve success is to have a firm foundation of principles to build upon, and the right attitude about how to achieve your goals. This book offers a detailed guide that goes beyond the technical aspects of trichology and evidence based medicine, providing specialists and primary care physicians experienced in the basic management of hair loss with the additional know-how they need to master the ultimate challenge of difficult hair loss patients. First, the prerequisites for successful management of hair loss are reviewed - basically, making a diagnosis and understanding the patient and his or her problem. Then, guidelines on the management of difficult dermatologic conditions and of psychopathological disorders associated with hair loss are provided. Lastly, important aspects of follow-up are covered-specifically the problems of adverse effects, patient non-compliance, and their management-before concluding with exemplary case studies of successful treatment of alopecia and related conditions.

Digestive Intelligence
by Irina MatveikovaDigestive Intelligence tells the fascinating story of how our digestive systems are the centre of our bodies' second brain and how we think and live our emotions via our stomachs.Not impossible when you consider there is something equivalent to the size of a village football pitch hiding inside our bellies - that's the incredible magnitude of our digestive systems. They contain an extensive network of nerve cells, called neurons, which carry information to the brain and thus have a profound effect upon our intellectual, emotional and immune processes.Dr Matveikova answers the obvious questions: "How?" and "Why can this be so?" by explaining, in straight forward layman's language, that the digestive system contains more than one million neurones, identical to those in the brain and is responsible for producing 90% of the body's hormone, serotonin, the all-important hormone which makes us feel happy and full of wellbeing. It follows, that if our stomachs are "out of sorts" we can feel irritable, in a bad mood, lacking in energy and those feelings will block our intellectual productivity, tend to disorientate us and completely change our thought patterns and physical processes.
