Med få og enkle grep kan du forebygge kreft ved å spise sunnere, bedre og riktigere. Mat, matvarer og matvaner har stor innvirkning på forebygging av kreft, resultatet av kreftbehandling, og helsen etter avsluttet aktiv kreftbehandling. I boka Mat mot kreft legger professor Rune Blomhoff frem ny viten og kunnskap om matens betydning for de ulike krefttypene, og går gjennom hva slags mat som er bra for å forebygge kreft og for kreftpasienter. Mer enn 32 000 nordmenn får hvert år en kreftdiagnose. Over 260 000 nordmenn lever i dag med kreft eller har tidligere hatt kreft. I tillegg har omkring like mange pårørende en nær befatning med kreft. Kreftpasienter og pårørende trenger råd og veiledning om veien videre når det gjelder kosthold.

Ragnhild Holmås ser helt frisk ut når du treffer henne på kafé. Så hvorfor jobber hun ikke? Er hun egentlig så syk som hun sier?Hun er en av flere hundre tusen nordmenn som lever med en usynlig sykdom. Selv om de har ulike diagnoser, kan de oppleve samme bagatellisering og mistenkeliggjøring - fra leger, Nav og arbeidsgiver, til og med fra venner og familie. De får høre at de må skjerpe seg. Slutte å syte. Bare tenke positivt.I boken Men du ser ikke syk ut utfordrer Holmås denne mistenkeliggjøringen. Hun inviterer leseren med bak kulissene til en person som later som om hun er frisk i frykt for å bli mistenkt for å late som om hun er syk.Hennes historie om skjuling, skam og selvbedrag flettes sammen med korte essays og kreative elementer til en sjarmerende, men samfunnskritisk bok. Med humor og lekenhet utforsker hun hvor fordommene kommer fra, hvorfor kunnskapshullet om sykdommer som rammer flest kvinner er så stort, og hvorfor i alle dager folk prøver å kurere henne med yoga og rare juicer.Med forord av Anne-Kat. Hærland.

Da Terje ble diagnostisert med «uhelbredelig» lymfekreft i 2016, gjorde han ikke som de fleste andre - han fulgte ikke sykehusets pakkeforløp. I flere år hadde han slitt med helseplager i form av eksem og psoriasis og mente det måtte være en sammenheng. Han oppsøkte i stedet en ernæringsmedisiner og startet en «innvendig storrengjøring».På tross av omfattende forskning på kreftmedisiner de siste femti årene, er kreft i dag blitt vår mest utbredte og farligste folkesykdom. Men forskere får stadig større forståelse av mikromiljøet knyttet til cellenes energiproduksjon. Kan det hende at kreft ikke skyldes uflaks eller tilfeldige mutasjoner og gener, men snarere er et resultat av et toksisk miljø i cellens overflate?Terjes grep med kosthold og livsstil skulle gjøre sykehusets dom til skamme. Her deler han sin sterke historie og gjør et dypdykk i den nye forståelsen av sykdommen. Boken utfordrer det rådende synet på kreft og oppfordrer til et bredere samarbeid mellom onkologer, biokjemikere og ernæringsmedisinere.Terje Toftenes (f. 1950) er filmskaper, produsent og manusforfatter. Hen eier og driver produksjonsselskapet New Paradigm Films AS. Fri fra kreft er hans første bok.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER.An unorthodox guide to making things worth making, from 'the father of the iPod and iPhone' and the creator of Nest.Everyone deserves a mentor.

Dalai Lama (2000) believes that seeking happiness "lies in our nature":The desire or need to be happy knows no bounds.It is something that lies in our nature. As such, it needs nogrounds and it is justified by the simple fact thatit is something we rightly want out of our nature.One has also asked if happiness is as important in all cultures. The answer is that happiness is at the top of the wish-list in every country; It is more important than wealth and to come to heaven, and as important as love (Diener and Biswas-Diener, 2008)....what makes us richer has been costly. The wealth, or what has been the prerequisite for wealth, has reduced a quieter life, close and stable relationships, we are moving apart. A materialistic lifestyle has a negative connection with happiness (Hellevik, 2003).NEF (2016) has calculated values on Happy Planet Index for 140 countries. Highest ranks Costa Rica and a number of other countries in Latin America. The population of Costa Rica has high values for happiness and longevity, and they have low values of ecological footprints. Norway has very high values of happiness and longevity, but also of footprints. In total, Norway is ranked twelfth and therefore highest among European countries, but closely followed by Albania. The United Kingdom is at thirty-fourth place, Canada number eighty-five and the United States number 108.

A trail-blazing and inspiring collection of essays on art, feminism, neuroscience and psychology featuring The Delusions of Certainty, winner of the European Essay Prize 2019.As well as being a prize-winning, bestselling novelist, Siri Hustvedt is widely regarded as a leading thinker in the fields of neurology, feminism, art criticism and philosophy. She believes passionately that art and science are too often kept separate and that conversations across disciplines are vital to increasing our knowledge of the human mind and body, how they connect and how we think, feel and see. The essays in this volume - all written between 2011 and 2015 - are in three parts. A Woman Looking at Men Looking at Women brings together penetrating pieces on particular artists and writers such as Picasso, Kiefer and Susan Sontag as well as essays investigating the biases that affect how we judge art, literature, and the world in general. The Delusions of Certainty is an essay about the mind/body problem, showing how this age-old philosophical puzzle has shaped contemporary debates on many subjects and how every discipline is coloured by what lies beyond argument-desire, belief, and the imagination. The essays in the final section, What Are We? Lectures on the Human Condition, tackle such elusive neurological disorders as synesthesia and hysteria. Drawing on research in sociology, neurobiology, history, genetics, statistics, psychology and psychiatry, this section also contains a profound consideration of suicide and a towering reconsideration of Kierkegaard. Together they form an extremely stimulating, thoughtful, wide-ranging exploration of some of the fundamental questions about human beings and the human condition, delivered with Siri Hustvedt's customary lucidity, vivacity and infectiously questioning intelligence.
