Los principales objetivos de cualquier programa de entrenamiento son los siguientes (ya sea todos o uno de los siguientes) Salud y forma física de adentro hacia afuera - así como vitalidad interna, Fuerza central, y esa sección media desgarrada que todos quieren - junto con los beneficios de SALUD asociados. Una mente clara y la capacidad de enfocarse como un caballo con anteojeras en incluso el más IMPRESIONANTE de los objetivos que hay. Ya sea en lo que respecta a la forma física o a la vida. Pérdida de peso, esa carga que nos preocupa a todos, y deshacerse de los rollos de manteca. Construir capa sobre capa de músculo FUNCIONAL (a diferencia de la hinchazón que se obtiene en el gimnasio). Aumentar la resistencia y la sensación de calma y bienestar durante todo el día. Y eso, amigo mío, es lo que se me ocurre. Esos son los principales objetivos de entrenamiento para la mayoría de la gente, y la flexión de brazos se ocupará de todas estas preocupaciones de una manera real - y luego algunos! Por no hablar de conseguir en un entrenamiento en la mínima cantidad de tiempo - - con un mínimo de espacio disponible. Todo lo que necesitas es un piso y una pared - ¡y estás listo! Sin embargo, dile al tipo promedio que puede obtener un entrenamiento completo haciendo nada más que flexiones de brazos - y probablemente te mirará como si te hubieses salido de tu rutina. Este curso debería hacer MUCHO, si no TODO, para evitar que este tipo de nociones tontas se extiendan más de lo que lo han hecho. Control de daños. Lo sé, pero un océano está hecho de gotas, amigo mío, y un control de daños suficiente asegurará que la gente en general (finalmente) empiece a volver a la forma en la que se supone que deben estar, a diferencia de las criaturas gordas, perezosas y descuidadas que se meten todo tipo de basura en el estómago todo el día. Flexiones, mi amigo, te convertirá en

Cerebro de pan
by David PerlmutterEn este libro revolucionario, que conquistó rápidamente el primer puesto de todas las listas de los más vendidos en Estados Unidos, el renombrado neurólogo David Perlmutter destapa un tema que ha estado enterrado en la literatura médica por demasiado tiempo: los carbohidratos están destruyendo nuestro cerebro. Y no sólo los carbohidratos malos: también los carbohidratos saludables, como los granos enteros, pueden causar demencia, ansiedad, dolores de cabeza crónicos, depresión y mucho más. El doctor Perlmutter explica qué pasa cuando el cerebro encuentra ingredientes comunes tanto en el pan de cada día como en el plato de frutas, por qué el cerebro se alimenta de la grasa y del colesterol, y cómo podemos estimular el crecimiento de nuevas neuronas a cualquier edad. También nos ofrece una Mirada profunda sobre cómo podemos modificar nuestros genes por medio de elecciones precisas a la hora de comer y de cambios específicos en nuestro estilo de vida, mostrándonos así como sanar de aquellos padecimientos a los que más tememos sin necesidad de medicamentos. Con un revolucionario plan de 30 días, Cerebro de pan nos ensena como reprogramar nuestro destino genético para gozar de una vida plena. "El doctor Perlmutter nos lleva de la mano por un tour detallado sobre los efectos destructivos que los 'carbohidratos complejos y saludables' tienen en nuestro cerebro. El trigo en la actualidad, en especial, es responsable de la destrucción de mas cerebros en el mundo que todos los derrames cerebrales, los accidentes automovilísticos y los traumas neurológicos combinados. El doctor Perlmutter aboga convincentemente por una vida libre de trigo para preservar la salud cerebro y revertir el daño".William Davis, autor de Wheat Belly

Cesarean Section: An American History of Risk, Technology, and Consequence
by Jacqueline H. WolfWhy have cesarean sections become so commonplace in the United States?Between 1965 and 1987, the cesarean section rate in the United States rose precipitously—from 4.5 percent to 25 percent of births. By 2009, one in three births was by cesarean, a far higher number than the 5–10% rate that the World Health Organization suggests is optimal. While physicians largely avoided cesareans through the mid-twentieth century, by the early twenty-first century, cesarean section was the most commonly performed surgery in the country. Although the procedure can be lifesaving, how—and why—did it become so ubiquitous?Cesarean Section is the first book to chronicle this history. In exploring the creation of the complex social, cultural, economic, and medical factors leading to the surgery's increase, Jacqueline H. Wolf describes obstetricians' reliance on assorted medical technologies that weakened the skills they had traditionally employed to foster vaginal birth. She also reflects on an unsettling malpractice climate—prompted in part by a raft of dubious diagnoses—that helped to legitimize "defensive medicine," and a health care system that ensured cesarean birth would be more lucrative than vaginal birth. In exaggerating the risks of vaginal birth, doctors and patients alike came to view cesareans as normal and, increasingly, as essential. Sweeping change in women's lives beginning in the 1970s cemented this markedly different approach to childbirth. Wolf examines the public health effects of a high cesarean rate and explains how the language of reproductive choice has been used to discourage debate about cesareans and the risks associated with the surgery. Drawing on data from nineteenth- and early twentieth-century obstetric logs to better represent the experience of cesarean surgery for women of all classes and races, as well as interviews with obstetricians who have performed cesareans and women who have given birth by cesarean, Cesarean Section is the definitive history of the use of this surgical procedure and its effects on women's and children's health in the United States.
Cesarean Section: Understanding and Celebrating Your Baby's Birth (A Johns Hopkins Press Health Book)
by Michele C. Moore Caroline M. de CostaTrusted physicians reassure mothers and mothers-to-be: It's okay to say yes.One in four babies born in the United States and Europe comes into the world via Cesarean section. Yet this procedure has been described by critics as an unnecessary and potentially dangerous medical intervention. Consequently, expectant mothers often fear this option, and women who have had C-sections can feel a sense of failure.In Cesarean Section: Understanding and Celebrating Your Baby's Birth, Drs. Michele Moore and Caroline de Costa emphasize the joy of delivering a healthy baby, however that is best achieved. They explain why Cesarean births are sometimes preferable to vaginal delivery for both mother and baby, and they help women understand the issues behind the decision to perform the procedure. From anesthesia, surgery, and recovery through at-home care of mother and child, the authors offer reassurance and practical information for all mothers and mothers-to-be. They also discuss the latest findings on postpartum depression and planning for future births, including the possibility of vaginal birth after a Cesarean section.For every woman who has a planned—or unplanned—Cesarean section, this book provides the information they need to alleviate their fears and come to value this delivery option."Because up to a quarter of all births are Cesarean births, prenatal preparation should include information about Cesarean sections for every woman. And that is why we have written this guide. . . . We believe strongly that it is time to speak out and say that Cesarean section is a normal birth method and that women who have a Cesarean section should not be made to feel that they have failed. . . . We hope you find the information in this book useful and helpful in thinking about C-section, whether you have already had a Cesarean and want to understand the experience better, you wish to plan for another C-section birth, or you are expecting a baby and want to be informed about all the possibilities ahead, including this other normal way of bringing a baby into the world."—from the Introduction

Chained: Youth With Chronic Illness (Youth With Special Needs)
by Autumn LibalFrom the Book jacket: The warm sun sliced through the window and melted across Kayla's bed. Slowly and reluctantly, Kayla rolled onto her side. Heavy with exhaustion and pain, she inched across the warm sheets. She felt as if someone had poured liquid metal into her body during the night-metal that had settled dense and cold in her bones. Gripping the bedpost with a white-knuckled hand, Kayla sucked in her breath. She closed her eyes, pulled herself up, and began the long journey to the bathroom. Inching along with shuffling feet and hunched back, Kayla looked much older than her fifteen years. She teetered dangerously, one hand outstretched for balance, one shoulder sliding along the wall for support. By the time she got to the bathroom door, she was already exhausted. What would it be like if you woke up every morning feeling sick? How would you get through each day if every minute brought you pain? What would you do if you had an illness that kept returning over and over again, refusing to be cured? Growing up is a challenge for everyone, but youth with chronic illnesses have additional challenges and special needs. These young people struggle to balance their physical conditions with the demands of school, friends, and activities. Living with chronic illness makes many young people feel alienated from their peers and may lead them to question their futures. In Chained: Youth with Chronic Illness, you will learn about the many challenges youth with chronic illness face and the support systems available to help them. Along the way, you will learn more about Kayla and her journey to live and thrive in the face of chronic illness.
