About this listen
Obesity is a disease that involves excessive body fat that elevates the probability of medical issues. It's an intricate disease that increases the probability of ailments. Obesity can be generally self-treated and can be self-diagnosed. It doesn't require laboratory evaluations or imaging. However, it can be chronic and could last a lifetime. This book will help expose the triggers and provide a way to stop obesity. Bear in mind that your health is the wealth. It'll be worth it for you to achieve the ideal so you can be healthy and survive.
Obesity costs our society billions of dollars annually in lost earnings and healthcare expenditures, approximately half of which is paid by the government through Medicare and Medicaid. This book explores the contentious claim by well-being critics whose public aid programs, such as Food Stamps and the National School Lunch programs, contribute to obesity among the poor. Author Laura Jessy Highbury uses empirical evidence from a range of disciplines - anthropology, economics, epidemiology, medicine, nutrition science, social advertising, psychology, public health, sociology, and urban planning - to examine this claim, and also to check if additional causal processes are causing obesity.
Questioning the utility of social policy, the book lays out different hypotheses, as well as the potential causal pathways inside each. The four fundamental chapters test if “public aid induces obesity“, if "obesity triggers general help", if “poverty induces both general aid and obesity", and what the “Factor X triggers" are.

Avoid sugars and refined grains. Instead, eat fruits, vegetables, beans, lentils, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats (a sensible, plant-based, Mediterranean-style diet). Let your body burn fat between meals. Don’t snack. Be active throughout your day. Build muscle tone. Consider a simple form of intermittent fasting. Limit the hours of the day when you eat, and for best effect, make it earlier in the day (between 7 am to 3 pm, or even 10 am to 6 pm, but definitely not in the evening before bed). Avoid snacking or eating at nighttime, all the time.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Story
In 1992, the deadliest year in Chicago’s history, seven-year-old Dantrell Davis was shot and killed in front of his elementary school inside the public housing complex Cabrini-Green. What happened to Dantrell led to a truce among Chicago’s gangs, but it also ignited a national panic about poverty and violence in America’s cities. Dantrell’s name would soon be used to demolish all of Chicago’s high-rise public housing, displacing tens of thousands of low-income families.

In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.
