Book Description
Emily’s Book of Health Without Drugs In your letters I see a continuing concern for maintaining good health without a lot of prescription drugs and doctor visits. And, I have been asked, over and over, what natural remedies are available for relieving pain. This book offers me the opportunity to share some ways to better health that you may not be familiar with. I hope to encourage each of you to be more aware of your body and how it works. Many of us grew up hearing words like these every day: “Clean up your plate or no dessert.” “You can have a cookie if you’re good.” We now know that when food is used as a reward, it can lead to poor eating habits. How many times do we use food to soothe frazzled nerves, calm fears, or relieve tension? Too much of this and we are overweight! This volume is not a diet book, but it IS a book about diet, because good eating habits are of value for much more than weight control. We have tens of thousands of cells in our bodies, all dependent on what we put into our mouths. Good health requires us to eat a balanced diet, drink plenty of water, and reduce the amount of caffeine, fat, nicotine, and overly processed foods we eat. It is also important, now and then, to slow down a bit and relax. We all need to take time to enjoy a bit of laughter and appreciate those around us who make life worth living. This brings needed balance to our lives.

Sick and Tired
Author: Emily K. AbelPublisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469661799
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
Medicine finally has discovered fatigue. Recent articles about various diseases conclude that fatigue has been underrecognized, underdiagnosed, and undertreated. Scholars in the social sciences and humanities have also ignored the phenomenon. As a result, we know little about what it means to live with this condition, especially given its diverse symptoms and causes. Emily K. Abel offers the first history of fatigue, one that is scrupulously researched but also informed by her own experiences as a cancer survivor. Abel reveals how the limits of medicine and the American cultural emphasis on productivity intersect to stigmatize those with fatigue. Without an agreed-upon approach to confirm the problem through medical diagnosis, it is difficult to convince others that it is real. When fatigue limits our ability to work, our society sees us as burdens or worse. With her engaging and informative style, Abel gives us a synthetic history of fatigue and elucidates how it has been ignored or misunderstood, not only by medical professionals but also by American society as a whole.

The Great Indoors
Author: Emily AnthesPublisher: Scientific American / Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 0374716684
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
An Architectural Record Notable Book A fascinating, thought-provoking journey into our built environment Modern humans are an indoor species. We spend 90 percent of our time inside, shuttling between homes and offices, schools and stores, restaurants and gyms. And yet, in many ways, the indoor world remains unexplored territory. For all the time we spend inside buildings, we rarely stop to consider: How do these spaces affect our mental and physical well-being? Our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors? Our productivity, performance, and relationships? In this wide-ranging, character-driven book, science journalist Emily Anthes takes us on an adventure into the buildings in which we spend our days, exploring the profound, and sometimes unexpected, ways that they shape our lives. Drawing on cutting-edge research, she probes the pain-killing power of a well-placed window and examines how the right office layout can expand our social networks. She investigates how room temperature regulates our cognitive performance, how the microbes hiding in our homes influence our immune systems, and how cafeteria design affects what—and how much—we eat. Along the way, Anthes takes readers into an operating room designed to minimize medical errors, a school designed to boost students’ physical fitness, and a prison designed to support inmates’ psychological needs. And she previews the homes of the future, from the high-tech houses that could monitor our health to the 3D-printed structures that might allow us to live on the Moon. The Great Indoors provides a fresh perspective on our most familiar surroundings and a new understanding of the power of architecture and design. It's an argument for thoughtful interventions into the built environment and a story about how to build a better world—one room at a time.
