by Neal D. BarnardLa única guía que necesitas para impulsar un cambio radical en tu vida con una dieta vegana saludable. ¿Cómo planeo una comida vegana? ¿En qué alimentos encuentro las proteínas que necesito? ¿Cuáles son las mejores opciones en los restaurantes? ¿Cómo obtengo todos los nutrietes?

Además, encontraremos un apartado con deliciosas recetas, menús completos y espacio para apuntar nuestros primeros descubrimientos en la transición a la alimentación vegana. ¡Todos los secretos de la nutrición vegana al alcance de tu mano!
Come sin hacer dieta: Una nueva forma de entender la nutrición
by Estefanía Fernández Victoria LozadaCómo la nutrición intuitiva cambiará tu vida. Aquí tienes la guía que echa por tierra la «cultura de la dieta»; que explica con evidencia científica qué le ocurre (de malo) a tu cuerpo y mente si sigues alguna; que demuestra por qué las dietas no funcionan y por qué deberían venir con una lista larguísima de contraindicaciones; que señala a la industria millonaria que se esconde detrás de la anhelada «pérdida de peso» como modelo estético, y que afirma que la gordofobia mata. Pero este manual no solo derroca mitos, tabúes y desinformaciones. Pretende, también y por encima de todo, que nos CONSTRUYAMOS MÁS FUERTES, MÁS CONSCIENTES, MÁS LIBRES Y MÁS SABEDORAS. Repleto de recursos, actividades y testimonios, el libro nos enseña a atender a nuestras señales corporales, a comprender la relación entre emociones y digestiones, y a descubrir qué son la alimentación y el movimiento intuitivos como vía de solución de las dietas.

Comer sano para vivir mejor: 50 recetas sin gluten, sin lácteos y sin almidón
by Elena Wägner"¿A cuántas personas conocen con una dolencia física que ningún médico es capaz de entender? ¿Cuántas veces han oído comentar el caso de una persona que ha sido diagnosticada de celiaquía a una edad adulta?"Así empieza la introducción de este libro que ofrece de primera mano la experiencia de su autora, Elena Wägner, que pasó de ser campeona nacional de saltos de trampolín y deportista de élite a estar postrada en una silla de ruedas. Sin poder determinar cuál era la dolencia que la aquejaba, vivió cinco angustiosos años en los que el dolor y el cansancio crónico eran su día a día. Finalmente, su médico le recomendó llevar una dieta sin almidón: la mejora fue inmediata. Sin embargo, todavía sufría achaques y, aunque las pruebas no eran concluyentes, apuntaban a una posible celiaquía. Así pues, además del almidón, tuvo que suprimir el gluten y los lácteos de su dieta. De nuevo, la mejoría fue tan sorprendente que pasó de tomar 20 pastillas diarias para calmar el dolor a poder llevar una vida completamente normal (practica deporte habitualmente y es madre de dos niñas pequeñas).De su experiencia aprendió a sobreponerse al dolor, a vivir de la forma más positiva posible y a entender que debía controlar perfectamente lo que comía para que su salud no se resintiera. Aunque al principio no fue fácil ya que no es común saber exactamente qué alimentos hay que evitar, investigó y, para ella y para los que pudieran tener problemas como los suyos, preparó buenísimas recetas para hacer más llevadero el régimen. Este libro recoge, además de su testimonio, el resultado de esta minuciosa investigación, es decir, 50 recetas variadas que procuran salud y contagian de buenos sabores cualquier comida del día.

Comfort, Cleanliness and Convenience: The Social Organization of Normality
by Elizabeth ShoveOver the past few generations, expectations of comfort, cleanliness and convenience have altered radically, but these dramatic changes have largely gone unnoticed. This intriguing book brings together the sociology of consumption and technology to investigate the evolution of these changes, as well the social meaning of the practices themselves. Homes, offices, domestic appliances and clothes play a crucial role in our lives, but not many of us question exactly how and why we perform so many daily rituals associated with them. Showers, heating, air-conditioning and clothes washing are simply accepted as part of our normal, everyday lives, but clearly this was not always the case. When did the 'daily shower' become de rigueur? What effect has air conditioning had on the siesta - at one time an integral part of Mediterranean life and culture? This book interrogates the meaning and supposed 'normality' of these practices and draws disturbing conclusions. There is clear evidence supporting the view that routine consumption is controlled by conceptions of normality and profoundly shaped by cultural and economic forces. Shove maintains that habits are not just changing, but are changing in ways that imply escalating and standardizing patterns of consumption. This shrewd and engrossing analysis shows just how far the social meanings and practices of comfort, cleanliness and convenience have eluded us.

Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation
by Charles BarberContemporary society firmly believes in the quick fix. We want to lose 40 pounds overnight, get our cholesterol down without changing eating habits, and clean up the environment without giving up our cars. Barber, who has worked in mental health for over 20 years, examines this trend in psychiatry. Much has been made recently of the "Prozac Nation" in which emotional problems are solved with a pill a day. Like many health care professionals, Barber is alarmed by this. He points out that new analytical treatments actually have a better success rate for many conditions than medication. He also is concerned about long-term side effects, both physical and social. This book is intended for a general audience. Barber gives dramatic examples to make his points and concludes with alternatives to over- medication.
