From Boys to Men is a unique resource designed to arm women with much-needed information about men's health issues and to help them educate their male loved ones on how to take care of themselves.

Readers will smile-and laugh-as they read through Charlie's ten zones for health and long life, including exercise, diabetes, foot, heart health, obesity, smoking, brain health, use of alcohol and of health supplements.

Author decided to find a diet that would let him lose at least 50-pounds, shrink his waist to a 34" from a 38" - reduce his Body Mass Index (BMI) from OBESE of 30.98 to nearly perfect at 26. He wanted to get rid of one of his two blood pressure medicines as well. He also wanted to know if there would be any emotional traumas that he would go through...or if he would quit - like so many of us do. The happy answer is that he did all that he set out to do - in 120-days, and it was, "The easiest diet I have ever been on - one I will stay on for life!" Take the trip through the author's Diary of a Dieter and you, too, can learn how to lose weight and keep it off.

It is important for readers to learn the facts about common and rare allergies to take control of their own health and better understand this topic, which is often discussed in the media. Informative charts, engaging sidebars, and annotated quotes by medical experts make readers aware of different types of allergies, how they are treated, and how people can become more helpful and compassionate toward those who suffer from them.
Historically, few topics have attracted as much scholarly, professional, or popular attention as food and eating--as one might expect, considering the fundamental role of food in basic human survival. Almost daily, a new food documentary, cooking show, diet program, food guru, or eating movement arises to challenge yesterday's dietary truths and the ways we think about dining. This work brings together voices from a wide range of disciplines, providing a fascinating feast of scholarly perspectives on food and eating practices, contemporary and historic, local and global. Nineteen essays cover a vast array of food-related topics, including the ever-increasing problems of agricultural globalization, the contemporary mass-marketing of a formerly grassroots movement for organic food production, the Food Network's successful mediation of social class, the widely popular phenomenon of professional competitive eating and current trends in "culinary tourism" and fast food advertising.
