【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Sip by Sip: How Water Benefits Every Cell fitness, #13【電子書籍】[ Jerry J. Jensen ]

＜p＞＜strong＞Introduction＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Welcome, dear reader, to a book about water, that clear, tasteless, and refreshingly moist substance you hopefully ingest daily. "A whole book about water?" you might be thinking. You mean the thing I never drink enough of?" Yes, exactly that. But, lest you think we will begin the world's longest hydration lecture, don't worry. We're here to spill the beans (or, rather, water) on how this simple liquid is the lifeblood of our cells.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Let's start with a bit of showmanship. Consider yourself on a flashy game show where the main reward is...survival. "What makes up about 60% of your body and is your best ally in every cellular function?" is the question on everyone's mind. If you shouted, "Water!" then congrats! You've just earned another day on this beautiful planet. Those who yelled "Coffee!" or "Wine!" understand, and there is no judgment here, but let's chat afterward.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It's amazing (and a little amusing) to consider that we, proud members of the sophisticated Homo sapiens species, are practically glorified cucumbers regarding water content. Approximately 60% water, to be precise. However, this isn't ordinary water. No, we're talking about premium, grade-A, body-optimized water. And, like the VIP at a party, it's invited to every cellular celebration in your body right now. Water ensures everything runs properly, from the brainwave rave in your head to the metabolic mosh pit in your muscles.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Water's significance in life is not new. Our forefathers usually settled near water supplies, whether on purpose or not. They may not have understood cellular osmosis, but they understood that without water, crops would not grow, animals would not drink, and spa days would be far less soothingーancient civilizations revered and regarded water as sacred and life-giving. The Greeks worshiped Poseidon, the sea deity, whereas the Egyptians worshiped Hapi, the Nile god.＜/p＞ ＜p＞They didn't wake up one day and decide, "Let's deify water for giggles!" No, they intuitively recognized its critical role in the circle of life (play the Lion King soundtrack).＜/p＞ ＜p＞After a few millennia, we've done the science, peered through the microscopes, and discovered that every single one of our roughly 37 trillion cells depends on water. That's a sum so large that a billionaire's bank account is worth pennies. Each of these cells is like a bustling mini-city; water is the major highway system that ensures everything gets to where it has to go.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But this isn't just a book of dry statistics and facts. Oh no, we're going to embark on a thrilling, microscopic trip to discover the magic of water and how it keeps us alive. Water is not simply a backdrop; it is the principal dancer in all it does, from cha-chaing with our hormones to tangoing with our brain cells.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Here's a short taster before we go deep (pun wholly intended) into the following chapters: Have you ever wondered why your fingertips appear like raisins after a lengthy bath? Or why does your voice sound like you've swallowed a frog after a night of not drinking enough? And, no, the solution isn't simply "because you're dehydrated"; each event has a fascinating cellular background.＜/p＞ ＜p＞So take your reusable water bottle, perhaps a glass of H2O, and prepare to be immersed in the fascinating world of water. By the end, you'll appreciate each sip and might even want to raise your glass in a toast to the liquid that's been your wingman since creation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Cheers to the adventure ahead! And remember, in the immortal words of someone undoubtedly extremely thirsty: "Hydrate or die rate!" Let's take it one sip at a time to be sure it's the former.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Evolutionary Perspectives on Pregnancy【電子書籍】[ John Avise ]

＜p＞Covering both the internal and external incubation of offspring, this book provides a biology-rich survey of the natural history, ecology, genetics, and evolution of pregnancy-like phenomena. From mammals and other live-bearing organisms to viviparous reptiles, male-pregnant fishes, larval-brooding worms, crabs, sea cucumbers, and corals, the world's various species display pregnancy and other forms of parental devotion in surprisingly multifaceted ways. An adult female (or male) can incubate its offspring in a womb, stomach, mouth, vocal sac, gill chamber, epithelial pouch, backpack, leg pocket, nest, or an encasing of embryos, and by studying these diverse examples from a comparative vantage point, the ecological and evolutionary-genetic outcomes of different reproductive models become fascinatingly clear.＜/p＞ ＜p＞John C. Avise discusses each mode of pregnancy and the decipherable genetic signatures it has left on the reproductive structures, physiologies, and innate sexual behaviors of extant species. By considering the many biological aspects of gestation from different evolutionary angles, Avise offers captivating new insights into the significance of "heavy" parental investment in progeny.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Since ancient times it has been well known that both fruit and vegetables have the power to cure you of a number of natural diseases to which mankind has been prey. And that is the reason why in many parts of the World, in ancient times, people were vegetarians by choice. Not only was it easier to get vegetables, which could be grown in the garden or could be plucked wild, but they did not bite back or attack you when you went hunting them.＜/p＞ ＜p＞There are very few vegetables which can be eaten raw. Boiled vegetables have a reputation that they are fit only to be fed to patients. That is so not true. That is the reason why, in many regions, some vegetables were definitely not used in daily fare, because they had the reputation that only the sick ate cabbage soup or spinach soup, with which the body could be healed and nourished.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ancient times, especially in Korea, a good cook was considered priceless and above rubies. That is because he or she was a doctor too, and was capable of cooking any dish, which suited the "constitution" of the people she fed. She knew the exact combination of herbs, vegetables, and spices, which would keep her employers healthy and fit.＜/p＞ ＜p＞So for all those people who want to know all about the nourishing qualities of the vegetables which we overlook so often, because they are so bland and boring and we really do not want to add them to our daily diet, you are going to be surprised at some of the curative uses to which the most common vegetables, available to you, have been used down the ages all over the World.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】What's Eating You? People and Parasites【電子書籍】[ Eugene H. Kaplan ]

＜p＞In ＜em＞What's Eating You?＜/em＞ Eugene Kaplan recounts the true and harrowing tales of his adventures with parasites, and in the process introduces readers to the intimately interwoven lives of host and parasite.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Kaplan has spent his life traveling the globe exploring oceans and jungles, and incidentally acquiring parasites in his gut. Here, he leads readers on an unforgettable journey into the bizarre yet oddly beautiful world of parasites. In a narrative that is by turns frightening, disgusting, and laugh-out-loud funny, Kaplan describes how drinking contaminated water can cause a three-foot-long worm to burst from your arm; how he "gave birth" to a parasite the size and thickness of a pencil while working in Israel; why you should never wave a dead snake in front of your privates; and why fleas are attracted to his wife. Kaplan tells stories about leeches feasting on soldiers in Vietnam; sea cucumbers with teeth in their anuses that seem to encourage the entry of symbiotic fish; the habits of parasites that cause dysentery, river blindness, and other horrifying diseases--and much, much more. Along the way, he explains the underlying science, including parasite evolution and host-parasite physiology.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Informative, frequently lurid, and hugely entertaining, this beautifully illustrated book is a must-read for health-conscious travelers, and anyone who has ever wondered if they picked up a tapeworm from that last sushi dinner.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
