The Hay Diet Made Easy - Jackie Habgood - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

THE book to buy if you have found other food books difficult to follow and put into practice. Written by a trained nurse who has herself followed the Hay Diet since 1988, it not only gives you the essential guidelines without long, complex explanations, but provides a powerful healing programme that will make you feel super-well.You will find:- The basic principles of food combining explained simply and succinctly- Diagrams at every stage to give you an at-a-glance guide- Detailed lists of meals and menus to help you choose the right combinations- Coded tables of foods for easy reference- A guide to changing over to the Hay Diet - advice on the hidden ailments that may go unrecognised - from low blood sugar and candida to allergies and food intolerances - and how the Hay Diet helps- How to adapt the Hay Diet to your individual needs.It takes time to get used to any new diet regime, but with The Hay Diet Made Easy you will find it simplicity itself: just follow the author''s meal ideas until you feel confident enough to devise your own, and the spectacular benefits you will discover will more than compensate for the adjustments you have to make in your old eating habits.Dr William Hay devised the Hay diet in the early twentieth century as a way to help the body digest food more easily (by separating protein meals from carbohydrate meals). This book clearly sets out the diet in accessible terms, as well as providing diagrams to explain its principles. Jackie Habgood also shows how common health problems such as candida and hypoglycaemia can be alleviated by the Hay diet.No other book presents the basics of this diet so simply or practically.

Get Well with the Hay Diet - Jackie Habgood - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Many people go through life feeling vaguely unwell, fatigued or with illnesses that seem to have no identifiable cause, and which conventional medicine cannot cure. Mystery illnesses such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Candida and food intolerances plague tens of thousands but can be cured by a simple change in diet.The Hay Diet, or food combining, is one of the most popular diets in the world and as an essential part of a healthier lifestyle can help anyone to eat their way to good health and vitality. A simple change of diet can have a dramatic impact on your all-round health and switching to the Hay Diet can cleanse and heal your body. The aim of the Hay Diet, uniquely among popular diets, is not an exclusive aim of weight loss but seeks to achieve optimum good health (and weight loss is only a part of that).The Hay Diet is often perceived as complicated, with its range of rules about which foods can be eaten together but Jackie Habgood outlines how we can easily incorporate the Hay Diet into our daily lives. This is a practical, accessible guide to using the Hay Diet to find natural health, allowing your body to heal itself and reaping the psychological benefits of feeling good.Writing from her own experience, Jackie Habgood shows how the Hay diet can help people who feel constantly fatigued or vaguely unwell and do not understand why. Following the clear, practical format used in The Hay Diet Made Easy, she outlines problems that often go unrecognised and are notoriously difficult to treat by orthodox methods but which respond very well to the cleansing and healing effect of the Hay diet - hypoglycaemia, candida, allergy, M.E. With details of symptoms, advice on diet and nutrition the book shows how full health can be restored in a short time. It also provides plentiful resources and details of further reading. This book''s sensible, easy-to-follow approach could make it a standard work.

Black Like Me - John Howard Griffin - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

New edition with a foreword by Bernardine Evaristo ''A brutal record of segregated America ... essential reading'' Guardian''An anti-racist classic'' Bernardine Evaristo In the autumn of 1959, a white Texan journalist named John Howard Griffin travelled across the Deep South of the United States disguised as a working-class black man. Black Like Me is Griffin''s own account of his journey. Published in book form two years later it sold over five million copies, revealed to a white audience the daily experience of racism and became one of the best-known accounts of racial injustice in Jim Crow-era America. Embraced by some and fiercely criticised by others, its legacy sixty years on remains problematic, but Black Like Me nevertheless stands as a fascinating document of its times.''There is a saying among Negroes that no white man, no matter how hard he tries, can really understand what it''s like to be black in America. John Howard Griffin has come closer to this understanding than any white man that I know.'' Louis Lomax, Saturday Review ''If it was a frightening experience for him as nothing but a make-believe Negro for sixty-six days, then you think about what real Negroes in America have gone through for 400 years.'' Malcolm X

What Has Nature Ever Done For Us? - Tony Juniper - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

What Has Nature Ever Done For Us? - Tony Juniper - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

From Indian vultures to Chinese bees, Nature provides the ''natural services'' that keep the economy going. From the recycling miracles in the soil; an army of predators ridding us of unwanted pests; an abundance of life creating a genetic codebook that underpins our food, pharmaceutical industries and much more, it has been estimated that these and other services are each year worth about double global GDP. Yet we take most of Nature''s services for granted, imagining them free and limitless ... until they suddenly switch off. This is a book full of immediate, impactful stories, containing both warnings (such as in the tale of India''s vultures, killed off by drugs given to cattle, leading to an epidemic of rabies) but also the positive (how birds protect fruit harvests, coral reefs protect coasts from storms and how the rainforests absorb billions of tonnes of carbon released from cars and power stations). Tony Juniper''s book will change whole way you think about life, the planet and the economy

Mafia Life - Federico Varese - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

We see mafias as vast, powerful organisations, harvesting billions of dollars across the globe and wrapping its tentacles around everything from governance to finance. But is this the truth? Travelling from mafia initiation ceremonies in far-flung Russian cities to elite gambling clubs in downtown Macau, Federico Varese sets off in search of answers. Using wiretapped conversations, interviews and previously unpublished police records, he builds up a picture of the real men and women caught up in mafia life, showing their loves and fears, ambitions and disappointments, as well as their crimes. Mafia Life takes us into the real world of organised crime, where mafia henchmen worry about their bad managers and have high blood pressure, assassinations are bungled as often as they come off, and increasing pressure from law enforcement means that a life of crime is no longer lived in the lap of luxury.As our world changes, so must the mafia. Globalisation, migration and technology are disrupting their traditions and threatening their revenue streams, and the mafiosi must evolve or die. Mafia Life is an intense and totally compelling look at an organisation and the daily life of its members, as it gets to grips with the modern world. Out now in paperback.

Now, two years later, it is time for her to come to terms with marriage, career, family, parenthood and Kevin's horrific rampage in a series of startlingly direct correspondences with her absent husband, Franklyn. Uneasy with the sacrifices and social demotion of motherhood from the start, Eva fears that her alarming dislike for her own son may be responsible for driving him so nihilistically off the rails.

Now a major motion picture starring Tessa Thompson, Ruth Negga and Alexander Skarsgard.A writer of the Harlem Renaissance, Nella Larsen wrote just two novels, published here, and a handful of short stories. Critically acclaimed, both speak powerfully of the contradictions and restrictions experienced by black women at that time.Quicksand, written in 1928, is an autobiographical novel about Helga Crane, a mixed race woman caught between fulfilling her desires and gaining respectability in her middle class neighbourhood. Written a year later, Passing tells the story of two childhood friends, Clare and Irene, both light skinned enough to pass as white. Reconnecting in adulthood, Clare has chosen to live as a white woman, while Irene embraces black culture and has an important role in her community.Nella Larsen''s novels are moving, characterful, and important books. She pioneered writing about the conflicts of sexuality, race and the secret suffering of women in the early twentieth century.
