Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From the internationally renowned expert on celiac disease and director of the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University, here is the definitive book on gluten, uncovering the truth and explaining the science behind the current gluten-free craze. Thousands of people have adopted a gluten-free lifestyle, believing it's healthier, that it will help them lose weight or increase their energy. The diet, a regimen once followed only by those diagnosed with coeliac disease (a serious autoimmune disorder), has become a cure-all, 'prescribed' not only by gastroenterologists, but also by nutritionists, trainers, psychiatrists, as well as celebrities. Gluten Exposed reveals: How little scientific evidence there is to justify this trend. The latest medical findings have shown that the majority of the information available about the effect of gluten on the body is only partly correct, or almost wholly untrue. How the gluten-free diet is a lifesaver for those with coeliac disease, but for others it may injure their health, rob them of essential nutrients, and mask their real problems. A practical, clear roadmap that can help anyone achieve a healthier, symptom-free life. Gluten Exposed provides an in-depth examination of every symptom and condition associated with gluten, how gluten works in the body, what the gluten-free diet cures-and what it doesn't.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Fortnum & Mason Food Book of the Year 2016 We are not born knowing what to eat; we each have to figure it out for ourselves. From childhood onwards, we learn how big a portion is and how sweet is too sweet. The way we learn to eat holds the key to why food has gone so disastrously wrong for so many people. But how does this happen And can we ever change our food habits for the better An exploration of the extraordinary and surprising origins of our taste and eating habits, in First Bite award-winning food writer Bee Wilson explains how we can change our palates to lead healthier, happier lives.; Mögen Sie Rosenkohl Lieben Sie Brokkoli Oder ist Fleisch Ihr Gemüse Dass die Geschmäcker verschieden sind, ist eine Binsenweisheit. Aber nirgendwo sind die Vorlieben und Abneigungen so ausgeprägt wie beim Essen und so immun gegen gute Argumente. Nicht nur Eltern wissen davon ein Lied zu singen. Warum ist das so Und was können wir tun, um anders, besser, zu essen Bee Wilson hat sich auf eine spannende Reise zu den Ursprüngen unserer Ernährungsgewohnheiten begeben, mit der neuesten Forschungsliteratur sowie ihren eigenen Erfahrungen als Mutter von drei Kindern im Gepäck.

Das Ergebnis ist so lehrreich wie ermutigend: Geschmack ist kein Schicksal.Welche Speisen wir mögen, ob wir essen wie ein Spatz oder wie ein Scheunendrescher, ist uns nicht in die Wiege gelegt. Wir lernen es, und zwar in der Kindheit, am Esstisch der Familie, unter Einfluss zahlreicher Faktoren. Und wir können umlernen.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Hindi cinema was trapped in formulaic cliches for decades: lost-and-found themes, sacrificing mothers, brothers on opposite sides of the law, villains lording over their dens, colourful molls, six songs, the use of rape as a plot pivot, and cops who always arrived too late. It hit an all-time low in the 1980s.Then, in 1991, came liberalization, and a wave of openness and aspiration swept across urban India. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge was released in 1995 - and Hindi cinema became Bollywood.A new crop of film-makers began to challenge and break away from established rules. Over the next twenty years, a number of Hindi films consistently pushed the envelope in terms of content and technique to create a new kind of cinema.Among other innovations, film-makers came up with ways of crowd funding a film (Ankhon Dekhi), did away with songs if the narrative did not need them (Gangaajal), addressed different sexual preferences (My Brother. Nikhil) and people with special needs (Black) like no one had ever done before.As film critic with the Indian Express, Shubhra Gupta has stayed the course these twenty years and more and experienced the transition first-hand. In 50 Films That Changed Bollywood, 1995-2015, she looks at the modern classics that have redefined Hindi cinema - from DDLJ and Rangeela to Satya and Dev D to Queen and Bajrangi Bhaijaan.Gupta offers a fascinating glimpse into how these films spoke to their viewers and how the viewers reacted to them - and, ultimately, how they changed us and how we changed them.…
