Libri di Mario Mancini

"Questo libro spiega la forza attrattiva degli ormoni ai limiti della logica perché possiamo impadronircene ed usarla a nostro vantaggio. Comprendere il vero sesto senso è comprendere la più grande energia a disposizione dell'essere umano. Potremo così impiegarla per capire meglio il partner o il proprio figlio, scivolando senza più attrito in un piacere condiviso, fondamento della gioia di stare insieme e della crescita reciproca. Stiamo per svelare i misteri dell'energia ormonale, che si manifesta come un vortice innescato dalla ricerca del piacere ed alimentato dai sensi. Essa guida le nostre emozioni e plasma il nostro comportamento. Quante volte gli altri ci sembrano irrazionali o misteriosi. Noi stessi lo siamo senza rendercene conto. Viviamo in balia di queste forze che si fondono in un sesto senso che ci attrae in una precisa direzione, unisce le folle nei concerti, sacrifica vite umane e guida verso conquiste impensabili."

Extraordinary advances in the understanding of the links between nutrition, metabolism, and cardiovascular disease have prompted a systematic reappraisal of knowledge in the field. As a result, it is now imperative that clinicians who care for patients with CVD or its key risk factors have a solid understanding of the often complex interrelationships between cardiovascular health and chronic diseases such as diabetes and obesity. Written by a team of international thought leaders in cardiology, endocrinology, diabetology and nutritional science, this important new book: Examines and updates the role of obesity, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, hypertension, thrombosis, and aging in atherogenesis Describes in detail the scientific and clinical evidence of the etiopathogenesis of ischemic heart disease as well as of peripheral and cerebrovascular disease Focuses on the 6 topics that will be of greatest interest to readers: 1) general nutrition, 2) metabolic syndrome and diabetes, 3) hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis, 4) hypertension and cerebrovascular disease, 5) hemostasis and thrombosis, 6) aging Throughout the book, in clear and accessible text, contributors illuminate the close relationship between dietary habits, the metabolic processes of nutrients, and their impact on the cardiovascular system, always with an eye on how the physician can use this information to implement better cardiovascular prevention and improve patient care.
