It analyzes how nutrition has affected quality of life, health and fitness in various countries at different times in history. The work looks at the connections between diet and such diseases as beriberi and scurvy, and the role nutrition plays in conditions such as weight and height increases, diabetes, and obesity. Historical as well as contemporary methods of treatment are presented from an international viewpoint. Dietary trends within various cultures are also covered, ranging from the consumption habits of Asian-Americans to those of Central Europe to those customary of Pacific Islanders. The set is rich in biographies of influential figures in the fields of nutrition and medicine such as McDonald's founder Ray Kroc; Sylvester Graham, the creator of the now-famous Graham cracker; and William Stark, a pioneer in early research into balanced diets. Profiles of major organizations such as UNICEF, the National Academy of Sciences and the World Health Organization complete this world guide to health and nutrition.

 A Guide to Flexible Dieting Publisher: Lyle McDonald Publishing | ISBN: 0967145651 | edition 2005 | PDF | 87 pages | 1,76 mb When most people diet, they take a fairly all or nothing approach. They expect 100% perfection and any slip up, no matter how minor, tends to derail their dieting efforts. Of course, the statistics show that most people will fail on a diet, regaining all of the lost weight and frequently more. That alone suggests that the type of extreme (lets call it rigid) approach to dieting does more harm than good. But research also suggests that flexible dieters, folks who take a more relaxed approach to their eating habits tend to weigh less and have less binge eating episodes; they do better in the long run. A Guide to Flexible Dieting explains how the types of typical extremist approaches to losing weight do more harm than good. It explains how being more flexible, and how deliberately breaking your diet, can actually make it work more effectively in the long run. A Guide to Flexible Dieting is not a diet book in the typical sense. Rather, it deals with some behavioral strategies that can help make your diet work more effectively. ($106.33)
