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

In Stop Aging Now!, Jean Carper -- winner of the 1995 Excellence in Journalism Award from the American Aging Association (the nation's leading group of scientists investigating the biomedical aspects of aging), nationally syndicated columnist and leading authority on health and nutrition -- documents how antioxidant vitamins, minerals, herbs and food chemicals are the magic youth potions humans have been seeking for centuries. Based on exciting new scientific findings from leading institutions, Stop Aging Now! reveals the stunning truth: Much of what we call aging is not inevitable, but is needless and can be prevented and reversed to a startling degree by supplements and foods. Indeed, aging is often due to unsuspected deficiencies that can be readily corrected, and even people in their sixties, seventies and eighties can turn back the clock and recover their youth. Leading scientists have found that: Vitamins can prevent and reverse memory loss and other signs of aging. Vitamins and minerals can rejuvenate immune functions, restoring youthful resistance to infections and cancer. Antioxidants in foods and supplements can help prevent clogged arteries, heart attacks and general bodily deterioration. Many unfamiliar but readily available food chemicals can prolong life and preserve your vitality.
