Jean Carper Knihy

Jean Carperová fundovaně a přehlednou formou nabízí současné informace týkající se výzkumu, léčení a prevence této nemoci, jež hrozí stát se morem jedenadvacátého století. Její kniha oslovuje o to víc, že je psána z pohledu nositele genu způsobujícího Alzheimerovu chorobu. Carperová nijak nezastírá skutečnost, že věda dosud nezná mechanismus, jenž Alzheimerovu chorobu spouští, a tudíž neexistuje ani spolehlivý návod, jak se tomuto extrémně limitujícímu a izolujícímu onemocnění vyhnout. Ví se však, že určité zvyklosti v životním stylu, jako je například stravování, tělesná aktivita či ochota učit se neustále novým věcem, mohou mít zásadní vliv na trénink mozku, takže není tolik náchylný k degeneraci. Autorka zdůrazňuje, že nejsme nuceni trpně čekat na to, zda se nemoc u nás projeví: předkládá desítky možností, jakým způsobem udržet organismus a zejména mozek v činnosti až do pozdního věku nejen pomocí nejrůznějších potravinových doplňků ale také optimistickým přístupem k životu, udržováním bohatých mezilidských vztahů a osvojením si aktivního způsobu života.

Jean Carperová napsala knihu o výživě Potraviny zázračné léky. Jak pomocí potravin a správných stravovacích návyků zajistit prevenci a vyléčení více než 100 nemocí? Pokud víte, jak máte správně jíst, můžete podstatným způsobem ovlivnit svůj zdravotní stav. Výživa je totiž jedním z důležitých faktorů ovlivňujících nemoci a zdraví. A co je hlavní, je faktorem, který na rozdíl od ostatních - jako jsou genetické předpoklady a znečištěné ovzduší - máte zcela pod kontrolou. Zatímco kvalitu životního prostředí ovlivnit vždy nemůžete, své stravovací návyky změnit můžete. Užitečnou pomoc vám v tom poskytne kniha Zázračné léky v potravinách, která přehledným a vyčerpávajícím způsobem popisuje účinky nejrůznějších potravin na procesy v našem těle a poskytuje řadu praktických návodů a rad, jak řešit zdravotní problémy od nachlazení po rakovinu a jak jim předcházet. .... celý text
