“Minding the Middle Aged
Middle: Losing weight - fact and fantasy of the middle
aged middle"
Losing weight gets harder with age—no
question about it. This book looks at diet ideas,
theories, and diet plans that are floating around out
there, but it develops a plan based on how your body
actually works—one that makes sense and is workable,
especially for over 50’s. It is designed both for long
term aging health and getting some results on the
middle. It would work at any age, but is probably the
only one suitable for older and fatter real people.
Losing weight might not be easy, but it is no longer
impossible!

“Inflammation Run Amok: You
Don’t Wear Out, You Flame Out,”
Inflammation is what happens when
your body has been assaulted. It’s the immune system
kicking into high gear to protect or heal the assault.
However, it’s a system that can easily get out of
control, too. The immune system always needs delicate
balance. It turns out that modern life is very hard on
that balance, kicking inflammation into high gear
(flaming when it should be barely simmering) and
persisting for years!
Instead of a system, then, that
protects and heals, you have a system that causes
damage.
From the Wellness Directory website:
Today modern medicine is starting to
admit that chronic inflammation is the main contributing
factor to all chronic degenerative diseases, and the
root cause of the two greatest killers in America:
Cancer and Heart Disease. Indeed, chronic inflammation
might just be the root cause of all degenerative
disease.
So if you have health issues big or
small, anything that keeps you from being vibrantly
alive and
well, you are probably dealing with chronic
inflammation. It is ubiquitous and persistent in
civilized cultures. It costs multi-trillions in health
care costs and too many haven’t a clue that
it’s avoidable—and reversible.
Here is a look at chronic (systemic) inflammation that
may be having an impact on your health and
life and a way to reduce it by choices you make. They
are simple, low or no-cost behavioral and
nutritional strategies. You can prevent most—maybe
all—the diseases common to humans and feel
great again, even if you are facing serious illness.
This book is a Reader’s Digest Condensed
version of what’s known and how to apply it.

“How to
be a Smarter Healthcare Consumer”
Conventional medicine is a mixed bag, and you rarely
hear the whole story from those who "practice" it. This book tells you the other side of the story
that you’re unlikely to hear from your healthcare professionals. There are risks associated with
listening to them and following their advice.
This does not mean you shouldn’t listen or follow - only
that when you understand the risks you can
make decisions from a far smarter perspective. Did you
know that statistically, there are
screening tests where the risk is as big as the benefit?
