Cracking the aging code : the new science of growing old---and what it means for staying young / by Mitteldorf, Josh,author.(CARDINAL)413461; Sagan, Dorion,1959-author.(CARDINAL)746155;
Includes bibliographical references and index." A revolutionary examination of why we age, what it means for our health, and how we just might be able to fight it. In Cracking the Aging Code, theoretical biologist Josh Mitteldorf and award-winning writer and ecological philosopher Dorion Sagan reveal that evolution and aging are even more complex and breathtaking than we originally thought. Using meticulous multidisciplinary science, as well as reviewing the history of our understanding about evolution, this book makes the case that aging is not something that "just happens," nor is it the result of wear and tear or a genetic inevitability. Rather, aging has a fascinating evolutionary purpose: to stabilize populations and ecosystems, which are ever-threatened by cyclic swings that can lead to extinction. When a population grows too fast it can put itself at risk of a wholesale wipeout. Aging has evolved to help us adjust our growth in a sustainable fashion as well as prevent an ecological crisis from starvation, predation, pollution, or infection. This dynamic new understanding of aging is provocative, entertaining, and pioneering, and will challenge the way we understand aging, death, and just what makes us human. "--

The alkaline reset cleanse : the 7-day reboot for unlimited energy, rapid weight loss, and the prevention of degenerative disease / by Bridgeford, Ross,author.(CARDINAL)804690;
"A powerful seven-day, whole-food cleanse to completely reset and reboot your body, targeting the Five Master Systems (endocrine, digestive, immune, detoxification, and pH balancing). Balance equals life. At base, our bodies make us fighters because the body will drop everything to make balance happen. So when we put one system out of balance, we are essentially making our body fight itself. The Alkaline Reset Cleanse is a different way of thinking about the body and how we can rapidly replenish, heal, and reboot ourselves back to optimal health. The body's number-one goal is to maintain homeostasis and balance throughout our Five Master Systems: endocrine, immune, digestive, detoxification, and alkaline buffering (pH balancing). But through our dietary and lifestyle choices, we often put our body into a state of emergency. It is this constant state of emergency from which sickness and disease emerge. For over 10 years, health coach Ross Bridgeford has guided thousands of people through his alkaline cleanse programs. In The Alkaline Reset Cleanse, he has distilled his program down to a straightforward and immediately manageable seven-day program, complete with shopping lists, recipes, and encouraging tips from those who have already succeeded. We need to wipe the slate clean. We have to give the body the tools it needs to repair, replenish, rebuild, and thrive. With seven highly nourishing days filled with real, whole foods--specifically selected and planned to make it easy, enjoyable, and energizing--the Alkaline Reset Cleanse will help you to lose weight, restore your immunity, soothe digestion, and give you abundant health"--"The Alkaline Reset Cleanse is a different way of thinking about the body and how we can rapidly replenish, heal, and reboot ourselves back to optimal health.
