Vernunft statt Tabletten

release date: May 14, 2018
Vernunft statt Tabletten
Mehr als die Hälfte aller Deutschen nimmt dauerhaft mindestens ein oder sogar mehrere Medikamente ein – aber nicht allein das ist besorgniserregend. Tabletten werden heutzutage oft voreilig und ohne gründliche Untersuchung verschrieben. Dosierungen sind häufig zu hoch und werden selten individuell auf den Patienten und seine Beschwerden abgestimmt. Zudem verfehlen viele Arzneimittel ihre Wirkung insofern, dass sie lediglich die Symptome, nicht aber die Ursachen bekämpfen. Der Bestsellerautor, Alternativmediziner und Wissenschaftler Andrew Weil führt Sie in diesem Buch durch den Medikamentendschungel und erklärt die Wirkungsweise und Einsatzzwecke der meistverordneten Medikamente ausführlich und auch für den Laien verständlich. Dabei geht er auf verbreitete Erkrankungen wie Depressionen, Schlafstörungen, Diabetes oder Bluthochdruck ein und zeigt, welche alternativen Behandlungsmethoden dafür infrage kommen. In vielen Fällen – so seine Überzeugung – kann sich der Körper sogar am besten selbst heilen. Vernunft statt Tabletten richtet sich an alle, die sich nicht auf Ärzte und Pharmaunternehmen verlassen wollen.

Eating Well for Optimum Health
At last, a book about eating (and eating well) for health -- from Dr. Andrew Weil, the brilliantly innovative and greatly respected doctor who has been instrumental in transforming the way Americans think about health. Now Dr. Weil -- whose nationwide best-sellers Spontaneous Healing and Eight Weeks to Optimum Health have made us aware of the body''s capacity to heal itself -- provides us with a program for improving our well-being by making informed choices about how and what we eat. He gives us all the basic facts about human nutrition. Here is everything we need to know about fats, protein, carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins, and their effects on our health. He equips us to make decisions about the latest miracle diet or reducing aid. At the heart of his book, he presents in easy-to-follow detail his recommended OPTIMUM DIET, including complete weekly menus for use both at home and in restaurants. He provides eighty-five recipes accompanied by a rigorous and reliable nutritional breakdown -- delicious recipes reminding us that we can eat for health without giving up the essential pleasures of eating. Customized dietary advice is included for dozens of common ailments, among them asthma, allergies, heart disease, migraines, and thyroid problems. Dr. Weil helps us to read labels on all food products and thereby become much wiser consumers. Throughout he makes clear how an optimal diet can both supply the basic needs of the body and fortify the body''s defenses and mechanisms of healing. And he always stresses that good food -- and the good feeling it engenders at the table -- is not only a delight but also necessary to our well-being, so that eating for health means enjoyable eating. In sum, a hugely practical and inspiring book about food, diet, and nutrition that stands to change -- for the better and the healthier -- our most fundamental ideas about eating.

Felicidade espontânea

release date: Jun 01, 2012
Felicidade espontânea
O médico americano Andrew Weil vale-se de um exemplo muito simples para explicar porque é tão difícil alcançar a felicidade. Isolado numa tribo indígena no meio da quente e úmida floresta amazônica na década de 1970, ele sonhava com a alegria de entornar um copo de suco bem gelado no retorno ao centro de Bogotá. Quando finamente pôde realizar seu desejo, Weil perdeu o interesse e já não acreditava que tomar um suco o deixaria tão feliz como imaginava enquanto estava na floresta. Em Felicidade espontânea, Weil constata que as pessoas geralmente se sentem infelizes e deprimidas por depositar sua felicidade em acontecimentos futuros incertos. O autor ensina através da medicina integrativa – campo da ciência que ajudou a desenvolver e que busca potencializar os resultados da conexão entre a medicina alternativa e a convencional – que a felicidade que todos procuram está dentro de nós e não fora, e que a sua conquista depende, fundamentalmente, do equilíbrio entre a saúde mental e física. Weil prefere usar o termo bem-estar emocional, em contraponto ao conceito de "felicidade", e define uma zona de contentamento, que ele chama de "nível do mar emocional", alcançada a partir da estabilização da variação entre emoções positivas e negativas. O livro é dividido em três partes. Na primeira, o leitor encontra as causas mais recorrentes da depressão e os novos métodos medicinais para manter mente e corpo saudáveis. Na segunda, o autor mostra como alcançar o bem-estar emocional na prática. Na parte final, Weil traça um programa terapêutico de oito semanas, onde sugere um conjunto de instruções e tarefas a serem levadas a cabo por todos interessados em cuidar de si. Depois de dois meses, o leitor estará pronto para perceber a diferença – e quem sabe sentir-se mais feliz.

Natural Health, Natural Medicine
A valuable health resource from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Natural Mind and Spontaneous Happiness. “Dr. Andrew Weil is an extraordinary phenomenon,” says the Washington Post. And indeed, this expert in healthy living, alternative healing, and the mind-body connection has helped millions of people find relief from what ails them. Called “the bible of natural medicine” by Larry Dossey, MD, Natural Health, Natural Medicine is a comprehensive resource for everything you need to know to maintain optimum health and treat common conditions. This landmark book incorporates Dr. Weil’s theories into one useful and readable reference, featuring general diet and nutrition information as well as simple recipes, answers to readers’ most pressing questions, a catalogue of over a hundred home remedies, and numerous practical tips. This new edition includes updated scientific findings—and has been expanded to provide trustworthy advice about low-carb diets, hormone replacement therapy, Alzheimer’s, attention deficit disorder, reflux disease, autism, type 2 diabetes, erectile dysfunction, the flu, and much more. “Weil, a Harvard Medical School graduate and a member of the advisory panel for the Congressional Study of Alternative Cancer Therapies, advocates preventative health maintenance as a means of combating future painful and expensive therapies. The handbook proposes methods of creating a healthy lifestyle, offers advice on guarding against potentially fatal diseases, provides information on natural treatments, and recommends these treatments for specific common ailments. Controversial in its challenge of orthodox medicine, the manual stands out as a useful resource for its clear, concise writing style, its practical advice, and its thoughtful examination of the important issues facing contemporary health care.” —Library Journal

The Healthy Kitchen

The Healthy Kitchen
Two of America’s most popular authorities on healthy eating and cooking join forces in this inspiring, easy-to-use cookbook. This is not a diet book. It is a lively guide to healthy cooking, day-by-day, packed with essential information and, above all, filled with enticing food. Andrew Weil, M.D.—author of the best-selling Eating Well for Optimum Health—brings to this perfect collaboration a comprehensive philosophy of nutrition grounded in science. Rosie Daley—acclaimed for her best-seller, In the Kitchen with Rosie—brings to it her innovative and highly flavorful spa cuisine. The recipes are eclectic, drawing from the healthy and delicious cooking of the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and Asia, among other cuisines. For starters, you might try Grilled Satay or a Miso Pâté; for soup, often a meal in itself, a hearty Mixed-Bean Minestrone Stew or a Roasted Winter Squash and Apple Soup with Cilantro Walnut Pesto; a special entrée could be the Savory Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Garlic or Baked Spicy Tofu with Bean Thread Noodles, Corn, and Mango; for a simple supper, Turkey Burgers or Portobello Burgers; and for the occasional indulgence, a dessert of Almond Fruit Tart or Peach and Blueberry Cobbler. Andy and Rosie do not always agree. When Rosie calls for chicken, Andy offers a tofu alternative; she likes the flavor of coconut milk, whereas he prefers ground nut milk; when she makes a pastry with butter, he suggests using Spectrum Spread. There are no hard-and-fast rules. Lifelong health begins in the kitchen, so this is a lifestyle book as well as a cookbook. In it you will learn from Dr. Weil: • how to make use of nutritional information in everyday cooking • what is organic . . . and how to buy organic foods • the importance of reading labels and what to look for • sensible advice about eggs, milk, cheese, salt, spicy foods, wine, coffee • the facts about sugar and artificial sweeteners . . . and from Rosie: • how to get kids involved—from skinning almonds to layering lasagna • ways to have fun in the kitchen—creating scallion firecrackers and radish rosettes • low-fat and nondairy alternatives for those with special concerns • smart menu planning—letting the seasons be your guide . . . and lots more. This revolutionary book will change forever the way you cook for yourself and your family. With 58 photographs in full color.
