Introduction There is a plethora of meditation, yoga, health, nutrition, and cookbooks on the market. Many of them address a specific diet or dogma, in which they treat the person as if we all have the exact same body and mind. One can argue that in essence we are all the same, but on a functioning level, we sure are different. This book describes a holistic system to accomplish a yogic lifestyle within the modern world. Traditional concepts of yoga are explained in clear, contemporary terminology. You will find Sanskrit names with English translations. The book offers a toolbox of the most efficient practices that may fit into today’s lifestyle, mining tradition to create powerful contemporary practices. Kept simple, the book provides foundations without an overwhelming amount of unnecessary detail, and provides essentials that can be utilized right away in life. The Yoga Lifestyle introduces the concept of the flexitarian. If you’ve heard the term, it’s probably with respect to the flexitarian diet, which most people define as a diet that is mostly vegetarian or vegan but does include some fish, poultry, and meat on occasion. The book looks at the flexitarian diet and expands upon those principles to create an entire flexitarian lifestyle. The Yoga Lifestyle aims to create the best life possible, without the stress. It seeks the healthiest life options for each individual, according to his or her needs. Is This Book for You? Have you ever wanted to: • • Understand yoga and learn how to build your own practice? • • Know your body type and balance your life? • • Live in sustainable health and happiness? • • Be empowered with practical and efficient tools for a healthy lifestyle? • • Develop a steady and focused mind? • • Become stronger and toned, without lifting weights? • • Become flexible, without being a ballerina? The Yoga Lifestyle is great for anyone willing to take responsibility for his or her own life. It is based on the research of many yoga traditions (mostly from the ashtanga vinyasa tradition), mind and meditation practices (mostly Buddhist and Gestalt), as well as most health diets, both modern and traditional (Ayurveda, blood type, macrobiotic, raw food). It takes the best from each dogma and presents a system that each person can adapt to meet his or her individual needs.
#1 New York Times Bestseller In this pathbreaking guide, two of the world’s most popular and trusted pet care advocates reveal new science to teach us how to delay aging and provide a long, happy, healthy life for our canine companions. Like their human counterparts, dogs have been getting sicker and dying prematurely over the past few decades. Why? Scientists are beginning to understand that the chronic diseases afflicting humans—cancer, obesity, diabetes, organ degeneration, and autoimmune disorders—also beset canines. As a result, our beloved companions are vexed with preventable health problems throughout much of their lives and suffer shorter life spans. Because our pets can’t make health and lifestyle decisions for themselves, it’s up to pet parents to make smart, science-backed choices for lasting vitality and health. The Forever Dog gives us the practical, proven tools to protect our loyal four-legged companions. Rodney Habib and Karen Becker, DVM, globetrotted (pre-pandemic) to galvanize the best wisdom from top geneticists, microbiologists, and longevity researchers; they also interviewed people whose dogs have lived into their 20s and even 30s. The result is this unprecedented and comprehensive guide, filled with surprising information, invaluable advice, and inspiring stories about dogs and the people who love them. The Forever Dog prescriptive plan focuses on diet and nutrition, movement, environmental exposures, and stress reduction, and can be tailored to the genetic predisposition of particular breeds or mixes. The authors discuss various types of food—including what the commercial manufacturers don’t want us to know—and offer recipes, easy solutions, and tips for making sure our dogs obtain the nutrients they need. Habib and Dr. Becker also explore how external factors we often don’t think about can greatly affect a dog’s overall health and wellbeing, from everyday insults to the body and its physiology, to the role our own lifestyles and our vets’ choices play. Indeed, the health equation works both ways and can travel “up the leash.” Medical breakthroughs have expanded our choices for canine health—if you know what they are. This definitive dog-care guide empowers us with the knowledge we need to make wise choices, and to keep our dogs healthy and happy for years to come.
