Tính đến nay, sự hữu ích giúp cuốn sách “Ăn theo nhóm máu” vẫn giữ được lượng tiêu thụ mạnh mẽ sau hơn hai thập kỷ. Các chế độ dinh dưỡng mới cứ hình thành, bùng nổ trên thị trường rồi lại phai nhạt đi trước khi bị thay thế bởi một chế độ dinh dưỡng khác. Mặc dù đã từng bị những người hay hoài nghi cho rằng chỉ là một trào lưu chóng vánh, nhưng hơn hai mươi năm đã trôi qua, tôi nghĩ chúng ta đều có thể công nhận “Ăn theo nhóm máu” không phải chỉ là một trào lưu nhất thời. NHÓM MÁU CỦA BẠN LÀ CHÌA KHÓA MỞ CÁNH CỬA BÍ ẨN của sức khỏe, bệnh tật, tuổi thọ, sức sống thể chất và sức mạnh tình cảm. Nhóm máu quyết định mức độ nhạy cảm của cơ thể với bệnh tật, loại thực phẩm nào nên ăn, và chế độ tập thể dục nên áp dụng. Nhóm máu là một trong các yếu tố quyết định mức năng lượng, ảnh hưởng hiệu suất đốt cháy calo, cách phản ứng với căng thẳng qua cảm xúc, và thậm chí có thể quyết định cả tính cách. Mối liên hệ giữa nhóm máu và chế độ ăn uống nghe có vẻ mang tính cách mạng, nhưng không phải vậy. Từ lâu, chúng ta đã biết: có một điều gì đó khiến ta chưa thể hiểu hết về con đường dẫn đến sức khỏe an lành hay bệnh tật muộn phiền. Phải có một lý do đằng sau rất nhiều nghịch lý trong các nghiên cứu về chế độ ăn uống và bệnh tật. Cũng phải có lời giải thích tại sao một số người có thể giảm cân với các chế độ dinh dưỡng cụ thể, trong khi những người khác thì không; tại sao một số người sống thọ và khỏe mạnh minh mẫn; trong khi những người khác sa sút dần cả về tinh thần lẫn thể chất. Tiến bộ trong nghiên cứu và phân tích nhóm máu sau đó đã giúp chúng ta giải thích những nghịch lý này. Và càng tìm hiểu sâu mối liên kết này, ta sẽ càng thấy hợp lý. Nhóm máu là nền móng của vạn vật và chính sự tạo thành muôn loài. Trong logic tài tình của tự nhiên, nhóm máu đi theo một con đường không gián đoạn từ khoảnh khắc ban đầu của sự sống cho đến hiện tại. Nhóm máu là dấu ấn tổ tiên từ thời xa xưa khắc trên tấm da thuộc không thể phá hủy của lịch sử. Thoạt nhìn, khoa học về nhóm máu có vẻ khó hiểu, nhưng thực sự nó đơn giản và cơ bản như chính cuộc sống này vậy. Cuốn sách “Ăn theo nhóm máu” sẽ kể cho người đọc những dấu vết cổ xưa về sự tiến hóa của các nhóm máu (hấp dẫn như câu chuyện về lịch sử loài người), và làm sáng tỏ khoa học về nhóm máu để từ đó lên một kế hoạch rõ ràng và đơn giản mà bạn sẽ có thể làm theo. Đây có lẽ là một ý tưởng hoàn toàn mới đối với mọi người: Không phải ai cũng nghĩ về tác động của nhóm máu đối với mình, mặc dù nhóm máu là một nguồn lực di truyền có sức mạnh lớn. Gen ABO không chỉ kiểm soát nhóm máu mà còn ảnh hưởng đến nhiều quá trình khác. Xét một cách cụ thể, các gen kiểm soát căng thẳng và tiêu hóa sử dụng gen ABO như một công tắc, tự bật hay tắt tùy thuộc vào nhóm máu cụ thể của mỗi cá nhân. Bạn có thể không sẵn lòng đi sâu vào lĩnh vực xa lạ này, ngay cả khi các lập luận khoa học có vẻ thuyết phục. Nhưng hãy cân nhắc làm ba điều: Nói chuyện với bác sĩ của bạn trước khi bạn bắt đầu, kiểm tra nhóm máu của mình nếu bạn chưa biết, và hãy thử “Ăn theo nhóm máu” trong ít nhất 10 ngày.

#1 New York Times Bestseller Fox News Channel’s Chief Political Anchor illuminates the heroic life of Ulysses S. Grant "To Rescue the Republic is narrative history at its absolute finest. A fast-paced, thrilling and enormously important book." —Douglas Brinkley An epic history spanning the battlegrounds of the Civil War and the violent turmoil of Reconstruction to the forgotten electoral crisis that nearly fractured a reunited nation, Bret Baier’s To Rescue the Republic dramatically reveals Ulysses S. Grant’s essential yet underappreciated role in preserving the United States during an unprecedented period of division. Born a tanner’s son in rugged Ohio in 1822 and battle-tested by the Mexican American War, Grant met his destiny on the bloody fields of the Civil War. His daring and resolve as a general gained the attention of President Lincoln, then desperate for bold leadership. Lincoln appointed Grant as Lieutenant General of the Union Army in March 1864. Within a year, Grant’s forces had seized Richmond and forced Robert E. Lee to surrender. Four years later, the reunified nation faced another leadership void after Lincoln’s assassination and an unworthy successor completed his term. Again, Grant answered the call. At stake once more was the future of the Union, for though the Southern states had been defeated, it remained to be seen if the former Confederacy could be reintegrated into the country—and if the Union could ensure the rights and welfare of African Americans in the South. Grant met the challenge by boldly advancing an agenda of Reconstruction and aggressively countering the Ku Klux Klan. In his final weeks in the White House, however, Grant faced a crisis that threatened to undo his life’s work. The contested presidential election of 1876 produced no clear victory for either Republican Rutherford B. Hayes or Democrat Samuel Tilden, who carried most of the former Confederacy. Soon Southern states vowed to revolt if Tilden was not declared the victor. Grant was determined to use his influence to preserve the Union, establishing an electoral commission to peaceably settle the issue. Grant brokered a grand bargain: the installation of Republican Hayes to the presidency, with concessions to the Democrats that effectively ended Reconstruction. This painful compromise saved the nation, but tragically condemned the South to another century of civil-rights oppression. Deep with contemporary resonance and brimming with fresh detail that takes readers from the battlefields of the Civil War to the corridors of power where men decided the fate of the nation in back rooms, To Rescue the Republic reveals Grant, for all his complexity, to be among the first rank of American heroes.

In January 1961, three days before President Dwight D. Eisenhower passed the torch to John F. Kennedy, the president had one final mission. In the young readers’ edition of his New York Times bestselling book, Fox News anchor Bret Baier examines the historic transition and Eisenhower’s last chance to lead the country he loved through his legendary farewell address and his personal appeals to Kennedy. Baier paints a vivid picture of the contrasts between old and new at the beginning of a decisive decade in American history. Eisenhower and Kennedy were very different men. Eisenhower, at seventy, was an elder statesman, a five-star Army general during WWII, and one of the most popular Republican presidents of the past century. Kennedy, a forty-three-year-old Democrat, had captured the nation’s attention with his energy and youth, but was inexperienced. Eisenhower believed he had hard-won knowledge to pass on to his successor, but he didn’t know if Kennedy would listen. It was Eisenhower’s final mission as president to leave the new president, and the country, with the lessons he had learned and guidance for a direction forward. Meticulously researched, broad in scope, and full of timely insights—as well as historic photographs—this edition will enable young readers to experience a piece of “living history” and will inspire a deeper understanding of the pivotal moments that forged the next seventy-five years.

This young readers’ edition from New York Times bestselling author and Fox News anchor Bret Baier dives into the first of the secret World War II meetings between President Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin, which would shape the world for decades to come. In the process, it tells the story of the personal and political evolution of Roosevelt, and how he came to be the man who orchestrated the most decisive conference of the war. Following Germany’s invasion of the USSR in June 1941, Prime Minister Winston Churchill offered his support to the Soviets. But by the time the United States entered what had become the second World War in history, it became crucial for the Allied forces to better align themselves against the Axis powers. This meeting of the minds took place in Tehran, and in attendance were some of the most iconic leaders of the twentieth century: Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin. Though America, Britain, and the Soviet Union all had a common enemy, their political goals differed greatly. This young readers’ edition will explore how their united stance against Nazi Germany allowed them to mend their differences, paving the way for what eventually became one of the most important victories in world history. This book, which includes an insert of photographs from that time, tells the inside story of their secret conference.

The sensational discovery of the last work attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. With texts and documents by authoritative art historians including Martin Kemp, Mina Gregori, Cristina Geddo, Elisabetta Gnignera, Jean Penicaut, Nicholas Turner, and David Roy Edward Wright. The latest and most up to date revelations.

A gripping historical account of President Ronald Reagan’s battle to end the Cold War, adapted for young readers from the book by #1 bestselling author and Fox News Channel anchor Bret Baier On May 31, 1988, President Ronald Reagan stood before a packed audience at Moscow State University. He delivered a speech that would go down in history, as it was the first time an American president had given an address about human rights on Russian soil. The importance of this speech was largely overlooked at the time, yet the following year, in November 1989, the Berlin Wall fell and the Soviet Union began to disintegrate, leaving the United States the sole superpower on the world stage. Adapted for a younger audience, and including historical photographs, Three Days in Moscow reveals the president’s critical and often misunderstood role in orchestrating a successful, peaceful ending to the Cold War. This page-turning, accessible account sheds light on America’s current place in the world while introducing young readers to one of America’s most remarkable leaders—and the unique qualities that allowed him to succeed with America’s most dangerous enemy, when his predecessors had fallen short.

"THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING DIET PHENOMENON Eat Right 4 Your Type, the global wellness phenomenon that introduced the Blood Type Diet, now revised and updated with cutting-edge research for a new generation"--

Former prosecutor Jeanine Pirro''s To Punish and Protect challenges us to have the will and the courage to wage war on the predators roaming our streets, and to avenge their victims. "The office of the district attorney is a battleground, where the fight between good and evil unfolds each day. We see the ugliest side of life, the pain that people go through for no reason. They didn''t do anything. They didn''t ask for it. Yet here they are, living their personal nightmares. We cannot take away their pain, or turn back time to undo the damage, but we can be the avengers. We can seek justice on their behalf." So begins this riveting account by the former Westchester County District Attorney, Jeanine Pirro, as she takes us inside the violent world of modern crime fighting. Before Pirro was elected DA in 1993, the job was always considered a man''s domain, demanding a macho toughness. Pirro can be as tough as any man, and yet she adds an important new dimension to the role. She believes that being tough on crime means much more than just filling the jails. She goes beyond her role to punish criminals, to be a passionate advocate for the victims of crime. In To Punish and Protect, Pirro brings readers face to face with the gruesome realities of her daily battles, and tells the true, heartbreaking stories of the victims - the slaughter of a young woman and her two children by a jealous, enraged boyfriend; a teenage girl forced to assume wifely duties after her father murdered her stepmother; a nine-year-old boy chained to a radiator in a dark room and nearly starved to death, as the rest of the family went about its business; a gentle, hardworking man shot fatally in a dispute over a parking place, because he was black; an eighty-year-old woman, savagely beaten by her son and left for two days on the cold floor of her apartment; a beautiful woman whose wealth and privilege could not prevent her murder at the hands of a violent husband; and a group of young girls lured into a sexual nightmare by a cunning predator posing as a trustworthy youth counselor. Pirro presents hard truths about the ways in which parents, communities, and the justice system share complicity in fostering an environment of danger to our children. She describes the dark world of Internet pedophiles and hate mongers, who are allowed to hide behind First Amendment protections to gain access to kids in their own bedrooms. She offers a harsh judgment on parents who fail to address the deadly consequences of teen drinking, and even host keg parties in their homes, while alcohol continues to take young lives and destroy families. Pirro delivers a bold indictment of the criminal justice system, and asks whether we as a nation are truly committed to justice. Increasingly, she warns, our laws, attitudes, and behaviors seem to be veering away from what we say is our moral core as a nation. We say that we exalt good and punish evil, yet we do the opposite. We turn criminals into celebrities, and view victims with suspicion. If we''re going to make our communities safer and our society less violent, we need to do more than just pay lip service to our ideals.

Valerie Harper has a message for women of a certain age: "Work those laugh lines!" With the irreverence and wit that made her one of television''s most beloved personalities, Harper (a.k.a. Rhoda Morgenstern) takes on those phony "fabulous at 50" books written by women whose skin is free of laugh lines and who wouldn''t know a cellulite pocket if it bit them on the backside. With her trademark shoot-from-the-hip, call-''em-like-she-sees-''em style, she helps women celebrate, with humor and grace, what it means to be middle aged. Harper''s essays explore the treacherous terrain women must travel -- from the tyrannies of fashion to the unmentionables of menopause. She tackles the most perplexing questions of the day: If you wear a size zero, do you exist? Would menopause be revered if it happened to men? Do calories count if you eat standing up? Are dressing rooms fitted with fun house mirrors? Today I Am a Ma''am is the perfect antidote to the youth obsession of our culture, offered by America''s most reliable girlfriend. It is Humor Replacement Therapy for midlife women, a book you can pick up when ever you need a laugh or a reminder that midriff drift is not the end of the world.

Il famosissimo libro sulla dieta dei gruppi sanguigni, una pietra miliare per un programma di benessere vero, a misura di se stessi.

The times have changed. We need a fresh understanding of the meaning of success. What do Condoleezza Rice, Joe Torre, Bill Gates, Goldie Hawn, Mary Hart, Garry Kasparov, and Jack Welch have in common? All have talked at length with Maria Bartiromo about business, the world and their surprising, inspiring and uncommon ideas about the meaning of success. Their stories, those of an extraordinary range of other people from all walks of life, and Maria Bartiromo’s personal insights are the foundation of The 10 Laws of Enduring Success. It is the guide for the extraordinary times we are living through. During bullish, optimistic periods, people seem to ride an upward wave with ease and confidence. The tangible evidence is right there for all to see--in their jobs, bank accounts, homes, families, and the admiration of their peers. But it is a fact of life that success, once earned, is not necessarily there to stay. If ever there was a cautionary tale about the fleeting nature of success, it is the events of recent years. But a funny thing happened. Faced with gut-wrenching realities, many people have started to re-evaluate the meaning of success in less superficial and impermanent ways. They''re asking themselves hard questions that have long been ignored: about what''s really important to them, and where the bedrock of their personal achievement lies. As Maria Bartiromo watched the financial drama from her front-row seat at the New York Stock Exchange, she began to re-assess the meaning of success--not just as one-off achievements, but as a durable, lifelong pursuit. Is there, she wondered, a definition of success that you can have permanently--in spite of the turmoil in your life, your job, or your bank account? This question is more important than ever, given the unpredictability of the current economy. --What are the intangibles that can''t be measured or counted? --What are the qualities that aren''t reflected in your title or on your business card? --And more practically, how can you remain successful even when the worst things happen to you? --Is it possible to build success from failure? It''s lonely at the bottom of the heap, when your BlackBerry stops buzzing, and the world moves on without you. Everyone wants to be close to success, and to have success. But what is success? How do you get it, and how do you keep it? As Maria interviewed some of the most successful people in the world, she felt the need to answer these questions: what makes these success stories tick? How did they achieve such leadership and power and how can one hold onto it, once you get it. What are the barriers to success and what is the bedrock to enduring success?
