Tu salud depende mucho más de tu comportamiento que de la genética o la suerte.


Obesidad, hipertensión, diabetes, ansiedad, depresión, dolores crónicos, problemas de espalda y un largo etcétera son sólo algunos ejemplos de las patologías crónicas que forman parte de la vida cotidiana de demasiadas personas.


¿Y cuál es la respuesta de la medicina convencional ante esta epidemia de enfermedades? Tratar los síntomas y no la causas, con lo que nos mantiene vivos... y enfermos.


Cuando buscamos culpables ante esta situación es tentador pensar en nuestra genética. Sin embargo, hoy sabemos que el conflicto entre nuestro estilo de vida y lo que esperan nuestros genes es lo que nos enferma. Éstos se forjaron en la adversidad, generando respuestas protectoras frente a desafíos ambientales como por ejemplo el frío, el calor o ayunos involuntarios por falta de alimento.


Dichas respuestas son las que convirtieron a nuestros ancestros en personas de salud privilegiada. Sin embargo, en la actualidad pasamos jornadas maratonianas sentados, continuamente estresados, inundados de comida que nos engorda pero no nos alimenta y todo bajo la promesa de una felicidad que nunca llega.


La solución no pasa por una «pastilla milagrosa», sino por incorporar en nuestro día a día los estímulos para los que nuestros genes están preparados para responder. Es lo que se llama hormesis y se basa en la vieja sabiduría popular de «lo que no te mata, te hace más fuerte».


Si a todo esto le sumamos el reconectar con la naturaleza, una dieta basada en comida real o las técnicas de respiración milenarias... llevarás tu salud y bienestar a un nivel superior.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


Your health depends far more on your behavior than on genetics or luck.


Obesity, hypertension, diabetes, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, back problems, and a host of other conditions are only some examples of chronic pathologies that are part of daily life for too many people.


And what is conventional medicine's response to this epidemic of diseases? Treat the symptoms and not the causes, which keeps us alive... and sick.


When we look for culprits it's tempting to blame our genetics. However, we now know that the mismatch between our lifestyle and what our genes expect is what makes us sick. Those genes were forged in adversity, producing protective responses to environmental challenges such as cold, heat, or involuntary fasting due to food scarcity.


These responses made our ancestors people of robust health. Today, however, we endure marathon days sitting, chronic stress, food that fattens but does not nourish, all under the promise of happiness that never arrives.


The solution is not a "miracle pill" but to incorporate into our daily lives the stimuli our genes are prepared to respond to. This is called hormesis and is based on the old popular wisdom of "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger".


Combine that with reconnecting with nature, a diet based on real food, and ancient breathing techniques... and you'll raise your health and well-being to a higher level.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.
