When it comes to looking and feeling your best, less really can be more. Discover how to maximize your sleeping, eating, exercising—even thinking and breathing—with minimum effort. The truth is most people don’t actually need grueling, extreme workouts or aggressively limited diets to lose weight and feel proud to flaunt their bodies in bathing suits. What they need is a plan that is focused on efficiency—the best results for the least amount of time and effort—and one that is actually designed to be maintained for more than 30 days. In The Minimum Method, by nutrition expert and celebrity fitness trainer Joey Thurman, you’ll learn a wealth of practical advice, simple nutrition t...
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) also known as photobiomodulation is almost 50 years old, and recently has been getting increasing acceptance from the scientific, medical, and veterinary communities. Discoveries are constantly being made about the cellular and molecular mechanisms of action, the range of diseases that can be treated is also rising, and home use LED devices are becoming common. This book compiles cutting-edge contributions from the world’s leading experts in Photobiomodulation and LLLT. Chapters cover general concepts, mechanisms of action, in vitro studies, pre-clinical animal studies, veterinary applications and a wide range of clinical topics. Edited by Michael Hamblin from Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, aided by two prominent researchers (Marcelo Sousa and Tanupriya Agrawal), this book will appeal to anyone involved in the basic science, translational aspects and clinical applications of LLLT.
Providing the most comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of this exciting biomedical field, Handbook of Photomedicine gathers together a large team of international experts to give you a complete account of the application of light in healthcare and medical science. The book progresses logically from the history and fundamentals of photomedicine to diverse therapeutic applications of light, known collectively as phototherapies. It facilitates your understanding of human diseases caused by light, the rationale for photoprotection, and major applications of phototherapy in clinical practice. The handbook begins with a series of historical vignettes of pioneers from the last two centuries. It also...
Hypermobility syndromes are more common, complex and varied than most practitioners realise. Every hypermobile patient is unique, and therefore challenging to treat using a pre-set paradigm or protocol. The hEDS population can be underserved by Western medicine and there is much that Chinese medicine can do for this community. This book is one of the first of its kind - a Chinese Medicine text focusing specifically on hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Presenting existing bio-medical narratives before providing an in-depth exploration of the Chinese Medicine paradigms, this guide gives an overview of comprehensive treatment scenarios and addresses issues faced by EDS patients including pain management, psycho-emotional challenges, disruption of gut health, and chronic inflammation, including post-Lyme syndrome.
"Low-level laser therapy (or photobiomodulation therapy) is a rapidly growing approach to treating a wide range of diseases and disorders that afflict humanity. This Tutorial Text covers the basic molecular and cellular mechanisms of action, applications for treating diseases in animal models, and its use in clinical trials and therapeutic practice in patients. Other topics include the two basic chromophores and how they trigger the signaling pathways, activation of transcription factors, and mobilization of stem cells; how the light-source design and the relevant energy parameters can affect the outcome of therapy; and the physics and tissue-optics principles that concern LLLT"--

Before thinking about which exercises, frequency and intensity should be used in strength training programs to achieve muscle strength, promote a healthy lifestyle, hypertrophy or improve athletic performance, we should understand firstly how a muscle contraction happens. The aim of this book is to provide you with a basic to advanced understanding about several physiological systems involved in muscle contraction: physiological adaptations for exercises, especially strength exercises; molecular responses; methods of training; nutrition and muscle performance; muscle recovery; benefits of strength exercises to human health; and which drugs are commonly used for doping in different sports. Ch...
Organizado por João Luiz Quaglioti Durigan e Rafael Inácio Barbosa, Agentes eletrofísicos na fisioterapia traumato-ortopédica – chancelado pela Associação Brasileira de Fisioterapia Traumato-Ortopédica (Abrafito) – reúne autores do Brasil e do exterior com ampla experiência clínica, além de pesquisadores com reconhecimento internacional sobre o assunto. A obra traz informações sobre conceitos básicos, história e utilização dos principais agentes eletrofísicos utilizados na prática clínica da fisioterapia traumato-ortopédica. Para tal, inclui os mais variados tipos de correntes, estimulação elétrica neuromuscular e nervosa transcutânea, crioterapia, ondas curtas, micro-ondas, tecarterapia, fotobiomodulação, ultrassom, ondas de choque e, ainda, a importância da manutenção dos equipamentos de agentes eletrofísicos. Atualizado, o livro apresenta uma abordagem inovadora para um tema clássico. Destinado a estudantes e profissionais de fisioterapia, cada capítulo conta com um desenvolvimento geral sobre o tema, indicações e aplicabilidade clínica embasadas em robustas recomendações científicas.
Dave Asprey sofreu com os sintomas do envelhecimento ainda novo, o que fez com que ele empreendesse uma pesquisa de mais de vinte anos para encontrar métodos científicos inovadores que melhorassem a biologia humana e combatessem esses sintomas. Em Super-humano, ele mostra os resultados dessa pesquisa e arma seus leitores com conselhos práticos para maximizar suas vidas em qualquer idade com uma mistura de ciência, sinceridade e entusiasmo. E nos ensina como as ferramentas para viver por mais tempo são nada mais que intervenções simples e que estão ao nosso alcance, como dietas, regulação do sono, além de exercícios e truques pouco conhecidos, mas poderosos. A partir dessa abordagem revolucionária, envelhecer não precisa mais ser sinônimo de entrar em decadência. Agora, você também pode se tornar um super-humano e estar no seu ápice físico em qualquer idade.
Mit Mitte 20 war Dave Asprey erfolgreicher Unternehmer und Multimillionär, wog jedoch 140 Kilo und litt an zahlreichen Symptomen vorzeitigen Alterns. Von da an setzte er alles daran, diesen Prozess umzukehren. Nach über 20 Jahren Forschung ist er seinem Ziel, 180 Jahre zu werden, schon deutlich näher. Mit einfachen Umstellungen in den Bereichen Ernährung, Schlaf, Bewegung und Licht sowie Hacks wie Ozontherapie und richtiger Kieferstellung kann sich der Körper selbst heilen und verjüngen. In seinem neuen Buch stellt er seinen revolutionären Ansatz vor, mit dem die Zellalterung aufgehalten und die biologische Uhr zurückgedreht werden kann.
