Dos de los expertos más prestigiosos en salud y nutrición responden a las preguntas más actuales sobre alimentación y dietas, en una obra que transformará nuestra salud. ¿Cuál es la «mejor» dieta? ¿Importan las calorías? ¿Tengo que elegir entre bajo en grasas y bajo en carbohidratos? ¿Debo renunciar al gluten, los lácteos o la carne? Y cuando se trata de proteínas, grasas y carbohidratos, ¿cuáles son buenos y cuáles malos? Mark Bittman y el Dr. David Katz se abren paso entre la gran confusión existente en la información que rodea la comida, la salud y la dieta para arrojar un poco de luz y dar las respuestas que realmente necesitamos. Inspirados en su sección de gran éxito de preguntas y respuestas de la revista New York, y ofrecen un punto de vista claro y sin rodeos sobre la alimentación y la dieta abarcándolo todo, desde los nutrientes básicos hasta los súper alimentos o las dietas milagro, a la vez que desmitifican gran cantidad de afirmaciones confusas o contradictorias. Así, abordan temas como los patrones dietéticos (¿qué debe comer el ser humano?); los cereales (¿son solo carbohidratos? ¿debemos evitar el gluten?); la carne y los productos lácteos (¿es importante que los productos sean ecológicos?); el alcohol (¿es bueno beber vino?), o ¿por qué me apetecen los alimentos salados?, ¿qué es mejor, un refresco light o normal?, ¿es verdad que el desayuno es la comida más importante del día? o ¿qué es el microbioma? A lo largo de todo el libro, los autores filtran la ciencia de la nutrición a través de la lente del sentido común y, desde la más estricta evidencia científica, ofrecen sencillos consejos y, sobre todo, respuestas veraces, claras y definitivas.

An easy-to-use guide to improving one''s overall health and fitness presents more than 1,200 small but important modifications readers can make to their lifestyles that will help one lose weight, fight disease, and encourage lasting health, along with hundreds of fact-filled sidebars, a handy index of cross references, and more than two hundred illustrations.

Kids from 6 to 16 who have learned the basics by working their way through the authors'' Start Playing Chess, are now ready to focus on the secrets of winning. This skill-building manual will do the trick. More than 100 diagrams show how to exploit the strengths of each piece, and defend against its weaknesses. There are winning strategies for different board situations: find out what to do when you''re in a closed position (when you''re locked in by pawns) or an open one (when you''re free to move and trade). Then try your hand at "double stuff"--moves that do more than one thing at a time--as well as winning tactics such as "family fork" and "skewer."

Dr. David L. Katz, head of the Yale School of Medicine Prevention Research Center, provides expert guidance to lifelong weight control, health and contentment with food: Master your metabolism: Use healthy snacking to keep a steady level of insulin and leptin in your bloodstream to avoid surges of hunger. Create a "decision balance": Discover your real feelings about losing weight and maximize your motivation. Control your hunger: By limiting flavor variety at one sitting the satiety centers in your brain make you feel full faster. Uncover hidden temptations: Sweet snacks are really salty and salty ones are sweet--hidden additives trigger your appetite. Change your taste buds: You can keep your favorite foods on the menu, but by making substitutions gradually, you''ll come to prefer healthier foods. With more than 50 skills and strategies provided nowhere else, The Way to Eat, created in cooperation with the American Dietetic Association, will make you the master of your own daily diet, weight and health.

"The presentation is consistently excellent. One, the writing is lucid and organized in a way that should be very natural for the clinical reader. Two, the text requires no background in mathematics and uses a minimum of symbols. And, three, the methodological concepts and clinical issues are well integrated through a number of carefully prepared and comprehensive examples." Greg Samsa, Associate Director, Duke Center for Clinical Health Policy Research If a patient is older or younger than, sicker or healthier than, taller or shorter than or simply different from the subjects of a study, do the results pertain? Clinical Epidemiology & Evidence-based Medicine is a resource for all health-care workers involved in applying evidence to the care of their patients. Using clinical examples and citing liberally from the peer-reviewed literature, the book shows how statistical principles can improve medical decisions. Plus, as Katz shows how probability, risk and alternatives are fundamental considerations in all clinical decisions, he demonstrates the intuitive basis for using clinical epidemiolgy as a science underlying medical decisions. After reading this text, the practitioner should be better able to access, interpret, and apply evidence to patient care as well as better understand and control the process of medical decision making.

Designed to accompany EPIDEMIOLOGY, BIOSTATISTICS, & PREVENTIVE MEDICINE, this book serves as a general review of the subject for both class study and for the USMLE Step 2 examination. Each chapter provides learning objectives, an abbreviated review of the subject matter, Board-style questions, answers with detailed rationales, references to the core text, case studies, and a brief glossary.

This text focuses on the specific knowledge in this field needed by medical students for their course work and for the USMLE Step I exam. It includes 10-12 questions in each chapter using the same format as the USMLE Step I exam, followed by explanations of the answers. With a clinical focus and real-life medical examples, this exam guide includes chapters on: the US public health system, health promotion and disease prevention goals for the year 2000, and the strengths and weaknesses of the US medical care system.
