50 Secrets of the World's Longest Living People
Author: Sally Beare
Publisher: Da Capo Lifelong Books
ISBN: 0786737603
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Today we are living longer than ever before, and a few of us can expect to live to 100 or more. But many people feel that they will inevitably suffer the diseases of old age in their final years. Pharmaceutical companies have spent billions of dollars trying to find a cure for the "diseases of aging"—they may have found ways to stem some of the symptoms, but they have yet to find a panacea. Yet there are places in the world where, all along, people have commonly lived to 100 or more without suffering so much as a headache. How do they do it? The answer is simple: through sound dietary habits and balanced, healthy lifestyles. The 50 Secrets of the World's Longest Living People looks at the nutrition and lifestyle mores of the world's five most remarkable longevity hotspots—Okinawa, Japan; Bama, China; Campodimele, Italy; Symi, Greece; and Hunza, Pakistan—and explains how we too can incorporate the wisdom of these people into our everyday lives. It offers each of the secrets in detail, provides delicious, authentic recipes, and outlines a simple-to-master plan for putting it all together and living your best, and longest, life.

Fear of Food
Author: Harvey Levenstein
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226473740
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
These include Nobel Prize-winner Eli Metchnikoff, who advised that yogurt would enable people to live to be 140, and Elmer McCollum, the "discoverer" of vitamins, who tailored his warnings about vitamin deficiencies to suit the food producers who funded him. Levenstein also highlights how large food companies have taken advantage of these concerns by marketing their products to combat the fear of the moment. Such examples include the co-opting of the "natural foods" movement, which grew out of the belief that inhabitants of a remote Himalayan Shangri-la enjoyed remarkable health by avoiding the very kinds of processed food these corporations produced, and the physiologist Ancel Keys, originator of the Mediterranean Diet, who provided the basis for a powerful coalition of scientists, doctors, food producers, and others to convince Americans that high-fat foods were deadly.

Remoteness and Modernity
Author: Shafqat Hussain
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300205554
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
A penetrating anthropological inquiry into remote areas as understood by their inhabitants and by the outsiders who encounter them This groundbreaking book is the first sustained anthropological inquiry into the idea of remote areas. Shafqat Hussain examines the surprisingly diverse ways the people of Hunza, a remote independent state in Pakistan, have been viewed by outsiders over the past century. He also explores the Hunza people's perceptions of British colonialists, Pakistani state officials, modern-day Westerners, and others, and how the local people used their remote status strategically, ensuring their own interests were served as they engaged with the outside world.

Book Description
Early in its history, anthropology was a visual as well as verbal discipline. But as time passed, visually oriented professionals became a minority among their colleagues, and most anthropologists used written words rather than audiovisual modes as their professional means of communication. Today, however, contemporary electronic and interactive media once more place visual anthropologists and anthropologically oriented artists within the mainstream. Digital media, small-sized and easy-to-use equipment, and the Internet, with its interactive and public forum websites, democratize roles once relegated to highly trained professionals alone. However, having access to a good set of tools does not guarantee accurate and reliable work. Visual anthropology involves much more than media alone. This book presents visual anthropology as a work-in-progress, open to the myriad innovations that the new audiovisual communications technologies bring to the field. It is intended to aid in contextualizing, explaining, and humanizing the storehouse of visual knowledge that university students and general readers now encounter, and to help inform them about how these new media tools can be used for intellectually and socially beneficial purposes. Concentrating on documentary photography and ethnographic film, as well as lesser-known areas of study and presentation including dance, painting, architecture, archaeology, and primate research, the book's fifteen contributors feature populations living on all of the world's continents as well as within the United States. The final chapter gives readers practical advice about how to use the most current digital and interactive technologies to present research findings.

Hydrate to Elevate
Author: Dr. Debi Prasad Acharjya
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN:
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 129
Book Description
This is a humble presentation of the “Electrolyzed Reduced Water (ERW) – Water Infused with Molecular Hydrogen” and its various health ramifications. Molecular hydrogen gas is probably the greatest discovery in medical science and healthcare since 1953. Hydrogen is the lightest and smallest molecule of gas in our Universe. When infused into purified water, it produces a liquid that can hydrate virtually all our 37.2 trillion cells at epigenetic levels at speeds that are shockingly fast when seen under the microscope. People often feel better, and ailments disappeared. But only recently did research confirm that this water contains dissolved hydrogen gas. Since 2007, the biochemistry in medical science communities has exploded with over 1,000 academic papers and clinical studies to embrace this marvelous molecule for super health. One glass of water does not equal another. One may just pacify your thirst, while the other you may enjoy drinking; and in Japan, people know about this difference. And the whole world is now gradually getting aware of this phenomenon of availability of this water right in your home. While there are a few articles in this book for you to review, I would encourage you to do more research for yourself. A simple PubMed and/or NIH search for ERW is usually enough for most of us. Every known condition has at its core something to do with hydration. ERW is a critical piece of the health puzzle, and with it chances of the body getting back to balance are much greater. This statement is validated by research, details of which are available throughout the book.
