Oggi è sempre più complicato capire cosa mangiare per perdere peso, restare in forma e in salute. Ma non è colpa nostra: quando si parla di alimentazione le informazioni che circolano sono spesso mutevoli e contraddittorie. Un giorno le uova fanno male e il giorno dopo sono un alimento miracoloso. Un anno ci viene consigliato di fare dei carboidrati le fondamenta della nostra dieta e l''anno successivo ci dicono che dobbiamo assolutamente ridurli. Per fortuna, il medico e autore di bestseller Mark Hyman ci viene in aiuto per fare un po'' di chiarezza. In questo libro, la sua opera più completa, prende attentamente in esame ogni categoria di alimenti e, basandosi sui risultati degli studi scientifici più recenti, mostra i numerosi malintesi di cui siamo vittime. Dai cereali ai legumi, dalla carne ai latticini, dai grassi ai dolcificanti artificiali, il dottor Hyman, con il suo tipico stile chiaro ed efficace, smonta i nostri pregiudizi e ci indica quali alimenti favoriscono la salute e quali costituiscono invece una minaccia. Con un programma alimentare e un''appendice di ricette salutari e gustose, Cosa devo mangiare? è una guida chiara e pratica per raggiungere un peso ottimale e una salute duratura.

Sempre nos disseram que a gordura fazia mal à saúde. É mentira. Durante décadas venderam-nos a ideia de que os alimentos ricos em gordura eram um perigo – não apenas engordavam, como provocavam uma série de doenças. Com o tempo o mito tornou-se verdade. Começámos a consumir produtos light e... engordámos ainda mais. O Dr. Mark Hyman, o mais conhecido especialista americano em Medicina Funcional, começou a questionar essa estranha contradição. Ele próprio evitava gorduras, fazia muito exercício, mas estava a ganhar peso. Porquê? Ao investigar os mais recentes artigos científicos apercebeu-se de que todos apontavam no mesmo sentido – a gordura não só é vital para a nossa saúde, como ajuda a emagrecer. (E a combater cancro, diabetes, doenças cardíacas ou Alzheimer.) O médico adotou então uma dieta rica em (boas) gorduras, como ovos, abacate, azeite, nozes, óleo de coco, peixes gordos e até carne. A dieta “Pegan” (porque combina os princípios nutricionais das dietas Paleo e Vegan) tornou-se um sucesso. E mais de mil clientes do médico perderam peso e ganharam saúde.

In June 2012 the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development adopted, as part of the main outcome document, The Future we Want, a call for countries to develop and enforce comprehensive national and local waste management policies, strategies, laws, and regulations. This call was a response to the challenges presented by unsustainable production and consumption, including the clear and unavoidable evidence of that unsustainability in the generation of waste. Increasingly, that challenge will come to be faced most acutely in developing countries. The objective of this guidance document is to help countries respond to that call: to develop and implement national waste management strategies, or, if they already have such strategies, to help them review, revise and update them.

A leading doctor "shines the light" on concussions, CTE, and keeping youth sports safe (Gregg Easterbrook, ESPN football columnist). See the movie Concussion. But first read the classic book from the acclaimed concussion doctor who''s changing how America thinks about safety in youth sports. From Washington to Quebec, from offices at the NFL to the New York Times, from the NHL players union to the soccer fields of Anytown, USA, people are talking about concussions. Long believed by experts to be a silent epidemic, concussions are fast becoming the most dominating and important issue in all of sports. At the center of this crisis—and one of the key reasons for this increased awareness—is Dr. Robert Cantu, the country''s leading expert on athletic brain trauma and a pioneer in the study of the link between concussions and progressive brain disease in athletes. He has treated thousands of patients who have experienced brain trauma, from high-profile professional athletes to peewees, including young boys and girls who play soccer, football, lacrosse, hockey, and other sports. And he is on the frontlines of groundbreaking research that is changing the way sports are played. Concussions and Our Kids is the first prescriptive book of its kind to address the issue of head trauma in sports and provide preventive solutions to protect athletes and give guidelines for the way sports can be played safely. Dr. Cantu and sports journalist Mark Hyman have crafted a book that is part manifesto, part manual, explaining to parents and coaches what head trauma is, why it has become a focus of national attention, and why some practices in youth sports must change. They also outline the measures we can take to protect our children. Readers will learn: • The signs and symptoms of a concussion • Three concussion tests parents can give at home • Concussions and what "rest" really means • How concussions improperly treated can develop into post-concussion syndrome • Why total brain trauma (not just the number of concussions) is a risk factor for chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) • Why helmets are no guarantee of safety • Why concussions are prevalent in all sports, not just football and hockey Addressing what sportswriter Bill Simmons calls "the single most important issue in sports today," this book is essential reading for parents, coaches, players, and all those interested in young athletes, their safety, and their future well-being.
