Diabetes $9.92 Diabetes is an incredibly misunderstood affliction – by many diabetics themselves, and even by most people in the medical profession, unless they have been specifically trained. There’s far more to consider than just avoiding sugar in your diet.This is an incurable ailment, but much can be done to alleviate and sometimes even avoid most of its effects. The author comes from a diabetic family background and has been a diet-controlled diabetic herself for many years. This book covers her personal experience with and research into the subject – covering mainly type 2 diabetes, but with much valuable insight into type 1 and the more recently discovered type 1.5!Sasha has written a wide range of Mind, Body & Spirit books and lectured all over the world, but this may be her most vitally useful book yet. In the UK, about 26,000 people die from diabetic-related ailments or complications each year, and the incidence of diabetes is on the increase, especially in line with increasing obesity in younger people. In the USA, about 24 million people or 8 percent of the population are diagnosed diabetics (2million in the UK), while a great number of people are actually unaware of their condition.It’s never too soon to start changing and improving one’s life as a diabetic, as even “mild” diabetes won’t stay long that way if ignored. |

Frontiers Of Nutrition $15.53 This is a self-help book that provides a comprehensive review of the nutritionally related diseases such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, obesity, diabetes, cancer, anemia and osteoporosis; tells you how to evaluate your own risks for them; and suggests guidelines for avoiding them. The program is based on the Prudent Diet, which was introduced over fifty years ago. It is not very different from the typical American diet, and it includes foods and supplements with protective effects apart from their nutritive value-yet appealing to your individual tastes. You do not need to sacrifice your most treasured values for a few added years. Quality of life is as important as length of life. Good nutrition is a necessary ingredient for both. You may need to make some simple changes, but it is not necessary to sacrifice the pleasures of life. |

Good Fats, Bad Fats: An Indispensable Guide to All the Fats You’re Likely to Encounter $0.99 Most of us regard fat as the number-one food enemy — the element in food that stands between us and good health. But most people are unable to make informed choices about which foods to eat and which to avoid because they lack the basic facts about fats and are unaware of the differences between them. In Good Fats, Bad Fats, nutritionist Rosemary Stanton provides readers with an indispensable resource that looks at all types of fats — saturated, poly- and monounsaturated, cholesterol, evening primrose oil, omega-3s, and omega-6s — and explains in simple language what they are, what they do, which ones we should be eating, and which we should be avoiding or eating in moderation. A concise guide to the health pros and cons of every type of fat, the book provides information about how different fats are related to excess weight, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and various types of cancer. Illustrated with nine charts, this easy-to-read, informative guide will show that when it comes to diet and good health, all fats are not created equal. |

He then decided to make critical adjustments to his diet and lifestyle, and the results have been nothing short of astounding.
