Knowledge is light. A healthy lifestyle is not just about following nutritional advice, counting calories and developing the physical properties of the body. The approach must be comprehensive.

Series of books “Sensation in medicine”

See on the shelf in the store books with a kraft cover and a hole in it, know – this is a series of world bestsellers about the mysteries of the human body. In each book you will find amazing facts about internal organs and the processes that take place in them. Apart from the cover, their calling card is encapsulated in the humorous style of narration and drawings. Why is the intestine fascinating? What secrets does the skin hold? What happens to us before we are born? Why does our body keep doing some “nasty” things? These and many other questions will be answered in the series “Sensation in Medicine”.

“Food and the Brain,” David Perlmutter.

An interesting book about how gluten affects our brains and generally the whole body. It explains how our digestion and wiggles work, why certain diseases occur and what to do to feel healthy and happy. Universal solution to all problems, of course, there is no, but the general recommendations are quite good.

The author at first may seem a bit of a fanatic, but if you try to abstract from this and analyze the information you get, you learn a lot of interesting things. For example, that many vitamins do not dissolve in water and can be absorbed in the intestines only together with fat. Or that starting at age 60, our brains atrophy at a rate of 0.6% per year.

If you have long wanted to change your lifestyle and diet for the better – this book can motivate you. The author is very categorical, but you don’t have to follow everything in the book, do you? It’s important to be able to highlight the pros for yourself personally.

“Brainwashing,” David Perlmutter.

How long has it been since you thought about feeling truly free, stable and energized? Don’t remember? Most of us don’t even question why life goes on in constant tension, where are we rushing to, why are we trying to adjust to the world around us?

Brainwashing will do you a reboot of both brain and body. Will realign your consciousness and find your real goals in life. You will learn why you used to exist under outside influences and how to avoid this in the future. How to cleanse your brain in a short period of time by sticking to a simple program. And how it is necessary to eat so that the body says thank you.
