Is Your Colon Really in Need of Cleansing? Coffee enemas and green smoothies. Colonics and laxatives. All the so-called "cleanses" that are out there today are meant to make you healthy, clean, and pure...but do they actually work? Can you really expel gallstones by drinking olive oil and citrus juice? Should you be consuming Epsom salts? No one seems to be asking if we should be doing these cleanses in the first place, though...until now. Author Joey Lott lays it all on the line with his latest book, Cleansed. He digs into the most popular cleanses today, sharing tales of his own experience, that of his clients, and the results of his extensive research on the subject. A Better Way Than Eight Glasses a Day What happens to your cells when you drink too much water? Shouldn't you be eating as much fiber as possible? Are you really burning fat with all that cardio? You may think that more is better when it comes to fiber, water, and exercise, but Cleansed will reveal the truth behind the hype being dished out today by leading health experts...including the 8-glasses a day rule. Discover the healthy way to cleanse that doesn't involve excessive exercise, deprivation, pills, or magic. Work with your body's wisdom and be amazed by the results instead of jumping from cleanse to cleanse and only feeling worse. Coffee Enema? Or is Coffee Best Taken Orally? Did you know that a shot of espresso might be just as effective--and a heck of a lot more enjoyable--than a coffee enema? The author explains the science (and lack thereof) behind this and many other popular cleansing techniques. Get answers to your most burning questions, including what "mucoid plaque" is actually made of. A brief discussion of anatomy blows apart many of the dubious claims made by the marketers of these cleanses and gets readers in touch with the wisdom of their own body, which turns out to have its own innate mechanisms for cleansing. Ultimately, cleansing doesn't need to be extreme. Find out the best way to support your body's natural detoxification processes by reading this book.
Does Sugar Make Us Fat and Sick? Like fat in the 80s and 90s, sugar is the new nutritional devil. Sugar is the scapegoat for all of our woes. Got cancer? Well sugar feeds cancer Got diabetes? You ate too much sugar; better cut back Your kid's hyperactive? Clearly they've been eating too many Twinkies. And don't forget: Sugar is more addictive than cocaine and heroin But is this "truth" too sweet to swallow? Free Yourself from the Fear and Hysteria Surrounding Sugar Pundits, politicians, medical professionals, and hucksters alike bombard us with their scaremongering. We're reminded often of the high rates of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and other diseases, and we're encouraged--sometimes even mandated--to reduce our risk. Amidst the hysteria, everyone is looking for something to blame. Sugar has become a scapegoat. In fact, sugar has been called "the new tobacco." But the evidence against sugar is practically non-existent. Time to Face the Sweet, Sweet Truth The consumption of high-fructose corn syrup has declined in the US since 1999, but people continue getting fatter, so there must be another explanation for the obesity epidemic besides overconsumption of candy and soda. It's facts like this that make Joey's Lott's latest book, In Defense of Sugar, a must-read. Lott cuts through the nonsense being sold by the likes of Dr. Mark Hyman and Dr. Joseph Mercola-the "anti-sugarists"-by digging deep into the scientific studies. And what do those studies say? That sugar, when included in a well-rounded diet, is not only not harmful, but may even be beneficial. Let's put it this way: If fructose is really so dangerous, early humans would have dropped dead from eating all that tropical fruit before they had time to create the next generation. Get your facts straight and put sugar back on your plate.
A moving story of love between a young man and God is told by an author whose godson Joey experienced much that was wonderful and much that was not during a wise and adventurous life that ended all too soon. Reprint. K. AB. PW.
