What makes yoga practitioners affiliated with Swami Sivananda's Divine Life Society of Rishikesh, India unique--whether they hail from Indian, North America, or Europe? What values around the world have supported the surging popularity of yoga over the past century? This absorbing book considers how lifestyle values have made yoga a global industry and shows how this popular "lifestyle" is produced and disseminated across boundaries.

Health Benefits of Organic Food: Effects of the Environment
Publisher: CABI | Pages: 352 | 2008-11-30 | ISBN 1845934598 | PDF | 2 MB
Public concern over impacts of chemicals in plant and animal production on health and the environment has led to increased demand for organic produce, which is usually promoted and often perceived as containing fewer contaminants, more nutrients, and being positive for the environment.
These benefits are difficult to quantify, and potential environmental impacts on such benefits have not been widely studied. This book addresses these key points, examining factors such as the role of certain nutrients in prevention and promotion of chronic disease, potential health benefits of bioactive compounds in plants, the prevalence of food-borne pesticides and pathogens and how both local and global environmental factors may affect any differences between organic and conventionally produced food.

Beer in Health and Disease Prevention
Publisher: Academic Press | Pages: 1248 | 2008-06-16 | ISBN 0123738911 | PDF | 9 MB
Presenting both the concerns and problems of beer consumption as well as the emerging evidence of benefit, Handbook of Beer Health and Disease Prevention offers a balanced view of today's findings and the potential of tomorrow's research.
From a beverage of warriors to a cheap and affordable commodity, beer has been a part of our consumption for nearly 8000 years. Like most alcoholic drinks it has been prone to abuse and in some counties the per capita consumption of beer has led to considerable health risks.
However, just as wine in moderation has been proposed to promote health, research is showing that beer -- and the ingredients in beer -- can have similar impact on improving health, and in some instances preventing disease. For example, some cancers like bladder cancers and the incidence of cardiovascular disease are reported to be lower in moderate beer drinkers. Furthermore there is a considerable body of emerging evidence to show that the anti-oxidant capacity of beers is high. It has been argued by some that the total antioxidants ingested in some beer drinkers equates that consumed by red wine drinkers.
The key to this, of course, is understanding and this volume presents a collection of the most current writings on the subject of beer and it's potential in health.
Key Features:
*The most comprehensive coverage of the broad range of topics related to the role of beer and beer ingredients in health
*Addresses the impact of beer and beer ingredients on cancers, cardiovascular disease, anti-oxidant benefits, and other health related concerns
Presents a holistic view from beer brewing to the isolation of beer-related compounds.
*Appropriate for scientists and researchers from a variety of fields and industries from beer production to health-care professionals
*Consistent organization of each chapter provides easy-access to key points and summaries
*Self-contained chapters written by subject matter experts
