An amazing thesis demonstrating the value of food safety as a whole and the degeneration and degradation arising from a diet of refined foods. Rather than looking at patients with signs of illness, this dentist and dental scientist decided to concentrate on healthy people and pushed himself to learn how they maintained their excellent health. During his search to find healthy individuals, Dr. Price travelled to hundreds of towns in a total of 14 foreign countries. Among certain communities of people who eat their native diets, he found great dental arches, low tooth loss, good resistance to tuberculosis and outstanding oral health. He noticed symptoms of degeneration soon becoming very apparent as these people were exposed to modernized diets such as white bread, white sugar, processed cooking oils and canned goods. Dr. Price described this knowledge in his book, Nutrition and Physical Degeneratio, which includes hundreds of images and photos.

A renowned surgeon, weight-loss specialist, shows why protein, in general, is harmful to our health, and can disrupt the process of losing weight.
Whether you are ask a doctor, nutritionist, or a trainer, will not warn you againt protein, but most likely recommend more protein. Some may use protein to regulate weight, add and lose pounds, while others feel it gives them more strength and is important for a better, healthy life. Then, asks Dr. Garth Davis, a weight management specialist, is this entire protein making us healthier? According to Dr. Davis, so much food literally makes one sick, overweight, and exhausted. There is no protein shortage when you have enough calories in your diet. People in healthy countries eat little to no meat and yet we have a large set of modern countries on a protein orgy getting sicker and sicker.
Dr. Davis, caring for his patients, was disappointed by the expanding number of obese patients, pushing him to do something about it. Combining cutting-edge science with his hands-on medical experience and years of studying surveys of the world’s longest-lived populations, this ground-breaking groundbreaking book tells the facts about protein risks and offers a established solution to weight loss, nutrition and longevity.

Nike CEO and board member Phil Knight tells the inside story of the early days of the company as an intrepid start-up and its transformation into one of the most popular, game-changing, and lucrative companies in the world for the first time in this candid yet riveting autobiography. Old, ambitious, fresh from business school, Phil Knight borrowed fifty dollars from his dad and started up a company with a basic mission: to manufacture high-quality, low-cost running shoes from Japan. Selling the shoes from his Plymouth Valiant’s boot, Knight grossed the first year, 1963, eight thousand dollars. Today, Nike’s over $30 billion in global revenue. Knight’s Nike is the gold standard for the era of start-ups, and his swoosh is more than a mark. This is one of the only symbols immediately remembered in any part of the world, a sign of beauty and greatness. Yet Knight, the guy behind the swoosh, has been since then a total mystery. Now he’s actually sharing his story in a memoir that’s unexpected, honest, unfiltered, sweet, and beautifully written. Twenty-four years old, backpacking around the world, wondering about with the Great Questions of Life, Knight determines that he must pursue the unconventional path. Knight provides descriptions of the most frightening dangers he faced along the way, the crippling defeats, the relentless rivals, the countless doubters and haters and aggressive bankers. He remembers, above all, the fundamental connections that shaped Nike’s heart and soul, with his longtime track mentor, the irascible and energetic Bill Bowerman. Together, harnessing a visionary mindset and a common faith in sport’s redemptive, they built a product and culture that changed everything.
