Anorexia And Bulimia: A Parent's Guide To Recognising Eating Disorders and Taking Control
by Dr Dee DawsonAnorexia nervosa is a condition in which sufferers diet continually and starve themselves. They may also use laxatives, vomiting or exercise excessively in order to control weight. Anorexia usually occurs in young women, starting in their teens, and it is estimated that about 2 per cent of all young women suffer from it. Bulimia is an eating disorder which is also on the rise among young people. They use the binge/purge cycle to extreme in their attempts to control their weight. This is a comprehensive, positive and practical guide to detecting the early signs of eating disorders and then curing them. Written with years of experience and expertise, it encourages parents to understand the illness, overcome their fears and take control of the situation, whether that means enforcing a strict meal plan or taking the decision to seek professional help. The book includes early signs to look out for; the possible effects of the illness, both physical and psychological; the treatments available and, most importantly, the plan, which helps parents to take positive action and really make a difference to their child's life.

Anorexia Nervosa and Recovery: A Hunger for Meaning
by Ellen Cole Esther D Rothblum Karly Way SchrammThrough the voices of twenty-one women, Karen Way presents the most objective, complete, and compassionate picture of what anorexia nervosa is about and, more importantly, of the complex individual variables and obstacles in the journey to recovery. From the premise that anorexia nervosa is an addiction--an obsession controlling all aspects of an individual’s life--and that complete recovery is possible by finding meaning in life, this enlightening book contrasts sharply to other books written on the subject by clinicians and theorists which merely speculate on the nature and etiology of anorexia nervosa. Anorexia Nervosa and Recovery lets the reader hear the personal struggles of women who have fought this powerful disease. They describe how anorexia controlled their lives and how, once they overcame their obsessions with food, weight, and thinness, they were able to lead fulfilling lives. This illuminating book encourages and inspires women who are in the throes of anorexia nervosa. They will recognize the emptiness in the voices and the descriptions of daily life. Therapists and clinicians who treat anorexic women will find intriguing chapters on events which trigger anorexia and what anorexics will do to maintain their strategies for coping. Concerned friends and family and others interested in understanding this controlling disease will be enlightened from this important and helpful book.
Another D for DeeDee
by Bibi BelfordFrom the author of the highly praised Canned and Crushed comes a new story about friendship, the consequences of bad decisions, and embracing what makes you different! DeeDee’s life is full of D’s. Missing her dad, who’s disappeared. Distracted by her sister’s quinceañera and her brother dropping out of high school. Disappointing her family by struggling in her new school. Being diagnosed with diabetes. So many D’s she worries she’ll never fit in, and worse, never find the best friend she’s always wanted. Then she meets River, her new neighbor with cochlear implants and finds they have the same interests. Art. Dance. Skateboarding. And they both miss their dads. But while DeeDee struggles to adjust to her new circumstances and life with diabetes, River embraces life, even his differences. River offers to help search for DeeDee’s dad and coach her in skateboarding and the two become friends. River even encourages her to participate in her school’s Spring Fling talent show. Then River transfers to DeeDee’s new school. Instead of sticking up for him and risking being made fun of, DeeDee makes mistake after mistake until she’s forced to decide: keep the best friend she’s always wanted by standing up to her classmates, or stay silent and lose River forever? Before DeeDee can be a good friend she must learn to love differences—not just River’s but also her own.

Another Dimension to the Black Diaspora: Diet, Disease and Racism
by Kenneth F. Kiple Virginia Himmelsteib KingThis is an engrossing study of black disease immunities and susceptibilities and their impact on both slavery and racism. Its pages interweave the nutritional, biological, and medical sciences with demography. The book begins with an examination of the pre-slavery era in Africa and then pursues its subject into the slave societies of the West Indies and the United States. This truly interdisciplinary approach permits the blending of two distinctive concepts of racial differences, that of the hard sciences based on gene frequencies and that of the social sciences stressing environmental factors. The authors investigate black health and white medical practice in the United States during the antebellum period, and establish a link between black-related diseases and white racism. A final section traces major black disease susceptibilities from the Civil War to the present, arguing that the different nutritional and medical needs of blacks are still largely unappreciated or ignored.

Another Person’s Poison: A History of Food Allergy (Arts and Traditions of the Table: Perspectives on Culinary History)
by Matthew SmithTo some, food allergies seem like fabricated cries for attention. To others, they pose a dangerous health threat. Food allergies are bound up with so many personal and ideological concerns that it is difficult to determine what is medical and what is myth. Another Person's Poison parses the political, economic, cultural, and genuine health factors of a phenomenon that dominates our interactions with others and our understanding of ourselves. For most of the twentieth century, food allergies were considered a fad or junk science. While many physicians and clinicians argued that certain foods could cause a range of chronic problems, from asthma and eczema to migraines and hyperactivity, others believed that allergies were psychosomatic. ' <P><P>This book traces the trajectory of this debate and its effect on public-health policy and the production, manufacture, and consumption of food. Are rising allergy rates purely the result of effective lobbying and a booming industry built on self-diagnosis and expensive remedies? Or should physicians become more flexible in their approach to food allergies and more careful in their diagnoses? Exploring the issue from scientific, political, economic, social, and patient-centered perspectives, this book is the first to engage fully with the history of a major modern affliction, illuminating society's troubled relationship with food, disease, nature, and the creation of medical knowledge.

Ansia: Ansia: Mettete fine all'Ansia Sociale, allo Stress e alla Depressione e Fuggite Oggi
by Tao ZenCiò che ho scoperto durante il mio viaggio è che la semplicità è la chiave. C'è una tendenza a credee che dal momento che i nostri problemi sono rimasti con noi così a lungo, la soluzione ad essi deve essere complessa e/o difficile da applicare. In base alla mia esperienza, posso dire con sicurezza che la vera ragione per cui non siamo in grado di trovare una soluzione ai nostri problemi è che le soluzioni sono così semplici da essere da noi completamente sottovalutate. Solo perchè qualcosa suona semplice non significa che non sia efficace. Tieni questo a mente quando leggi il resto di questa guida. Cara Ansia è un resoconto in prima persona dello straordinario viaggio di guarigione di John da una crisi esistenziale così profonda lasciata da molti terapeuti incapaci da dove era iniziata. Dopo molti anni di tentativi infruttuosi di risolvere l'ansia debilitante e la depressione che è seguita, John finalmente incontrò un terapeuta di talento che desiderò e fu capace di andare con lui nelle profondità complesse del recupero necessario per la guarigione, ed egli condivide quel viaggio con noi in dettagli a volte rivelatori e altre volte inquietanti.

Ansia: Superare La Depressione E L'ansia Usando La Terapia Cognitivo Comportamentale
by Soren LammersDiversi anni fa ho scoperto di avere i livelli di mercurio eccessivamente alti a causa di una quantità di pesce superiore alla quantità raccomandata nella mia dieta. Ho immediatamente iniziato a fare ricerche sul problema per determinare se i miei alti livelli di mercurio potessero essere alla base di alcuni dei problemi di salute che avevo avuto. Lungo la strada ho scoperto qualcosa di incredibile. La mia lunga timidezza, l'ansia e l'imbarazzo per l'essere notato, stavano iniziando a dissiparsi. Ero più calmo in presenza di estranei e avevo livelli crescenti di fiducia me stesso. Ho studiato il mercurio e l' ansia sociale, ma ciò che ho scoperto è lontanissimo da ciò che immaginavo, ha scosso il mio mondo perché ho visto così tante cose che avrebbero potuto cambiare la mia vita se solo l'avessi saputo. Se hai problemi di ansia e mangi più di 2 porzioni di pesce a settimana, vorrei mostrarti i modi in cui l'uso storico del mercurio può essere rilevante per i tuoi problemi d' ansia nei nostri giorni.
Ansia: Una Guida Per Attacchi Di Panico E Ansia ( Anxiety)
by Anthony PriceIl libro tratta in dettaglio i sei principali disturbi dell'ansia: fobie, attacchi di panico e agorafobia; ansia sociale; disordine generalizzato dell'ansia; disordine ossessivo compulsivo; disordine post-traumatico da stress. Con un capitolo dedicato ad ogni disordine, Daniel e Jason Freeman ti portano attraverso i sintomi, le prevalenze e le cause di ognuno. Un capitolo finale descrive i trattamenti disponibili per affrontare i problemi dell'ansia. L'ansia è quello stato naturale della mente che ci avverte dei potenziali pericoli. L'ansia ha un ruolo nelle nostre vite e finché ne abbiamo un livello salutare e razionale, non influenza la nostra salute. Tuttavia, quando diventiamo ossessionati con un pericolo che è improbabile o irreale, l'ansia e gli attacchi di panico sono un nemico mortale. Immagina una vita in cui ti senti completamente in controllo dei pensieri nella tua testa e delle azioni che compi in relazione alle varie situazioni della tua quotidianità. Invece di guardare indietro ad azioni passate e chiederti perché ti sei comportato in un modo particolare, capirai perché l'ansia ti ha fatto fare qualcosa e come avresti potuto agire appropriatamente. La verità è che tutti talvolta reagiamo in risposta a una forza esterna che causa la nostra ansia. La differenza tra persone equilibrate che riescono ad affrontare la loro ansia e quelli più inclini a cadere vittima di un attacco di ansia è che le persone equilibrate semplicemente capiscono cosa serve per affrontare l'ansia. Anche tu avrai questa conoscenza a tua disposizione dopo aver letto questo libro.
