"Avez-vous jamais, dans un dîner, osé lancer la fameuse question : "Pourquoi les femmes font-elles plus pipi que les hommes…
?" Aussitôt, soyez-en sûr, chacun apportera son commentaire définitif à un problème non seulement complexe mais politiquement (et sexuellement) incorrect. L'urgentiste Billy Goldberg et l'écrivain satirique Mark Leyner n'hésitent pas, eux, à prendre frontalement ladite question et à livrer une réponse... qui pourrait bien vous servir en cas de besoin ! [...] Pourquoi les femmes n'ont-elles pas de pomme d'Adam ? Pourquoi sont-elles moins douées pour les maths que les hommes ? Pourquoi les hommes n'écoutent-ils jamais ?... et vivent-ils moins longtemps ! D'autres sujets sérieux (et moins sérieux) passent au scanner de nos deux compères à la verve scientifique et à l'humour dévastateur.

"Il y a en chacun de nous un marcheur. Prendre l'air, dégourdir ses jambes, découvrir de beaux paysages, sentir le…
sol sous ses pieds produit un effet à la fois dynamisant et apaisant. Peu importe le but poursuivi, la marche, la balade, la promenade, la randonnée, le pèlerinage - c'est selon - font du bien au corps et à l'esprit. D'ailleurs, les philosophes ont aussi pratiqué la marche, chacun à sa façon : Thalès, et son faux pas qui le précipita au fond d'un puits ; Kant que rien ne détourna jamais de sa sortie quotidienne, à cinq heures précises ; Kierkegaard et ses promenades imaginaires ; Cioran, déambulant loin des hommes et de leurs désastreuses ambitions... L'auteur, promeneur assidu, examine attentivement cette mystérieuse connivence du pas et du mot, du souffle et de l'idée, du muscle et de la pensée. La marche éveille et stimule l'esprit, mais, bien plus encore, elle est une sagesse, une sagesse du corps." -- 4e de couvPourquoi dormons-nous? Pourquoi rêvons-nous?: où, quand, comment?

Par Dr José Abellán. 2023
Un enfoque integrativo de la salud, con el corazón en el centro, para prevenir las enfermedades y mejorar nuestra calidad…
de vida. El principal motivo por el que enfermamos en la actualidad es que nuestro estilo de vida contradice lo que el cuerpo y el corazón esperan de nosotros: pasamos largas horas sentados, comemos alimentos procesados, sufrimos estrés, ansiedad, insomnio..., vivimos desconectados de nuestra naturaleza y de nuestro entorno. Esta es la raíz de muchas enfermedades, en especial las cardiovasculares, que, según la OMS, están detrás de una de cada tres muertes en el mundo y representan la mayor amenaza para nuestra salud. Y los números no paran de empeorar. En este libro, el cardiólogo José Abellán explica de manera clara y directa la importancia de cuidar la salud de nuestro corazón para evitar enfermedades y tener una vida sana, larga y activa. Con un enfoque centrado en la prevención y la incorporación de hábitos saludables, el autor profundiza en los cuatro pilares de la salud cardiovascular: * No comas, aliméntate* Muévete* Sincronízate con los ritmos del planeta y descansa* Conecta con los demás y con la naturaleza Con Lo que tu corazón espera de ti entenderás, por fin, qué necesita tu cuerpo para estar sano y aprenderás a adecuar tu estilo de vida para gozar de una salud óptima.Toma el control de la situación. Si aprendes a prevenir, no tendrán que curarte. Los expertos opinan:«José ha escrito un libro maravilloso. Lo que tu corazón espera de ti encierra mucho: por qué se produce la enfermedad y, a partir de ahí, cómo debemos alimentarnos, cómo debemos entrenar, cómo debemos sincronizarnos con el planeta y cómo debemos cuidarnos a nosotros y cuidar a los demás. Sácale jugo, aprende y disfrútalo». JORDI CRUZ, chef seis estrellas Michelin «El doctor Abellán defiende la alimentación y su poder antiinflamatorio como base para la prevención de enfermedades; en su libro desmiente de forma sencilla los principales mitos de la alimentación y su efecto en la salud cardiovascular».BLANCA GARCÍA-OREA, nutricionista, autora de Dime qué comes y te diré qué bacterias tienes «El doctor Abellán consigue transmitir los fundamentos que explican por qué el ejercicio físico y la alimentación son vitales para la salud de tu corazón. Además, explica otros factores relevantes en la salud cardiovascular, como, por ejemplo, la conexión social o el estrés. Un libro asequible y claro para mejorar tu salud plena».ISMAEL GALANCHO, nutricionista, autor de Quema tu dieta«En este libro, el doctor Abellán transmite, con un lenguaje muy sencillo y directo, lo importante que es para el corazón sincronizar tus relojes internos con los ciclos del planeta. Con su lectura aprenderás que la salud se trabaja y se gana día a día, y entenderás por qué descansar adecuadamente es uno de los pilares de una vida sana».JUAN ANTONIO MADRID, investigador experto en cronobiología, autor de Cronobiología. Una guía para descubrir tu reloj biológico «En esta época de confrontación, el doctor Abellán muestra de manera muy clara la importancia de cuidarnos, mimar nuestras relaciones con los demás y huir del estrés crónico para gozar de buena salud. Lo que tu corazón espera de ti es, en cierto modo, una delicada manera de tomar consciencia».Coronel PEDRO BAÑOS, especialista en geoestrategia y defensa, autor de Así se domina el mundoSkill in Work and Play (Routledge Revivals)

theory and practice examples given. This updated second edition is written for HIM professionals at the undergraduate level and is specifically intended for bachelor’s level students in a four-year program. The career goal for most RHIA-eligible students is a management position in the healthcare field. HIM managers are found in all healthcare settings: acute-care, outpatient, long-term care, rehabilitation, and even as vendors. The principles introduced here will provide a foundation and path for sound management practice and decision making. At the same time, there is recognition of the importance that the human resources (HR) department plays in today's healthcare management environment. Organizations differ on the extent to which managers are requested or required to seek the consult of HR, and a new HIM manager must be aware of the situations that will require input from the HR department. This textbook identifies those situations and offers guidance as to when a new HIM manager should include HR in their decision-making process.Nada Yoga: The Vibratory Essence of the Yoga of Sound

the hypochondriac in all of us.Christopher Kelly, MD, and Marc Eisenberg, MD, FACC, are both highly accomplished physicians and health experts from UNC Health and Columbia University Medical Center. In Am I Dying?!, Dr. Kelly and Dr. Eisenberg walk you through common symptoms and medical myths to provide a helpful, conversational guide on what to do when you experience symptoms – offering advice on whether to chill out, make a doctor’s appointment, or go to the hospital.Most new symptoms turn out to be minor.

The internet can offer a wealth of data, but it can also be a source of harmful misinformation. So if you have a new symptom, how worried should you be?This down-to-earth, humorous symptom guide covers over forty different symptoms, organized into eight body areas – including head/neck, chest/back, belly, skin, and more. Some examples include:Belly: When is bloating a sign of a serious problem? Why do some people feel nauseated all the time?Lady Parts: How often do you really need a mammogram? When is a lump likely to be serious?Bathroom Trouble: Why do some people pee so often (and can a bladder explode from holding it)? Packed with practical information and organized in a fun, easy-to-access format, Am I Dying?! is a perfect gift, medical resource, and must-have addition to your home library.
