Did you know that Coca-Cola got its name from a common African tree?
Bitter kola, also known as bitter cola or Garcinia Kola, is a plant found in Central and Western Africa that has long been valued for its medicinal properties.
Although traditional African medicine uses all parts of the Bitter Kola plant, the seeds are most commonly eaten.
Bitter kola seeds have a sharp, bitter flavor that eases into a slight sweetness as you chew, and they're typically eaten raw.
Early studies suggest that a chemical called kolaviron, which is found in bitter kola, may protect against hypoglycemia in people with type 2 diabetes.

Despite numerous lectures, podcasts, and books written about sleep and breathing, and the constant search for improvement, have we overlooked the intricate connection between the small reactive organ we call the nose and our overall health further emphasizing the importance of proper nasal function for better breathing? How are you (nasal) breathing? The art of the breath is lost without proper nasal function.
In the fast-paced world we live in, we often overlook the power of a simple act that sustains us every moment of our lives: breathing. Nasal breathing, in particular, holds remarkable benefits for our overall health and well-being. From the healthcare provider to the patient, Breathe Through Your Nose, Don't Pay Through It seeks to create a global shift in awareness and knowledge of the far-reaching consequences of compromised nasal function, such as respiratory issues, sleep disturbances, systemic inflammation, changes in posture, and overall well-being. An overview of potential barriers individuals face in accessing appropriate treatments, and how the healthcare industry shapes the availability, accessibility, and affordability of screening and treatments related to nasal function and breathing empowers the reader with the knowledge to navigate the complex healthcare system.
By drawing on more than three decades of healthcare experience, this book is a call to action from an insider perspective for greater awareness and advocacy, urging readers to prioritize nasal health and demand the healthcare system promote positive change within the healthcare system by placing equal importance on screening, prevention, and early intervention as it does comprehensive treatment options for sleep and breathing disorders.
The Decameron is a collection of novellas containing 100 tales told by a group of seven young women and three young men sheltering in a secluded villa just outside Florence to escape the Black Death. To pass the evenings, each member of the party tells a story each night, except for one day per week for chores, and the holy days during which they do no work at all, resulting in ten nights of storytelling over the course of two weeks. The various tales of love range from the erotic to the tragic, with tales of wit, practical jokes, and life lessons contributing to the mosaic.
In addition to the literary value and widespread influence of The Decameron, the book provides a document of life at the time. Written in the vernacular of the Florentine language, it is considered a masterpiece of classical early Italian prose. The Decameron was very popular among contemporaries, especially merchants, allowing many manuscripts to survive. Two in particular have elaborate drawings, likely done by Boccaccio himself.
This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.

How To Get Rid of All Your Asthma Symptoms In A Month Or Less Using Only Natural Home Remedies including Allergy Medication for Better Lungs.

If you suffer from asthma, it is important that you take charge of your health. This book contains a number of powerful natural allergy medication remedies that will help you to relieve your symptoms, and help you regain your sense of control for better lungs.
Asthma is a real disease. Millions of people suffer from it. It is one of the most common chronic illnesses in children and adults, affecting more than 20 million Americans. Asthma is characterized by inflammation in the lungs, which leads to difficulty breathing, coughing, and wheezing.
The truth is that asthma symptoms are annoying and can often interfere with your normal activities. But what if I told you there were natural remedies available to relieve your symptoms, but you needed to find out how to use them?
In this book, we will be talking about natural remedies for asthma relief. We will be discussing the benefits of natural treatments for this condition, how to use these products, and how to make them part of your asthma treatment plan. Many people are turning to natural treatments as an alternative to traditional medicine, and for good reason.
I've written down my experience in a new system called Asthma Relief. This is a step by step plan on how to take back your life from the hands of the air pollution. I'm talking about the invisible pollutants that destroy your lungs, cause asthma attacks, and even kill you. So far, over 100,000 people have already taken action against this silent killer.
Asthma Relief is the ultimate asthma management guide that covers everything from the basics to advanced treatment. This book provides detailed information on how to cope with an asthma attack, how to avoid triggers, and even how to beat an allergy.
Asthma, or more specifically, asthma attacks, can be scary, embarrassing, and even painful for people with asthma. Unfortunately, not many people know what causes asthma attacks or know how to relieve symptoms. Even fewer people know that there are natural remedies available to help prevent attacks. In this book, I reviewed the best-known methods for preventing and relieving the most common symptoms of asthma, as well as those of other respiratory disorders such as allergies and sinus problems.
What you are about to read is not a diet book or a health supplement book. What you are about to read will change the way you think about your health, lungs, allergy and your body forever. This is because you are about to learn a secret that the majority of the world has been trying to keep to themselves.

Every day, our lungs circulate 11,000 liters of air, provide us with life-sustaining oxygen, and allow us to speak, sing, and smell. It's no secret that our lungs are one of our most vital organs, and yet most of us pay them little attention. The COVID-19 pandemic, however, has reminded us of the importance of our lungs, and sparked interest in their function and the risks they face.
In Breathing Lessons, leading pulmonologist and national spokesperson for the American Lung Association Dr. MeiLan K. Han takes readers on a fascinating tour of this neglected yet crucial organ. Han explains the wonder of breathing and reveals how the lungs serve as the body's first line of defense. She provides a timely overview of the latest scientific thinking about the leading respiratory risks--including indoor and outdoor pollution, smoking and vaping, wildfire smoke, and viruses like SARS-CoV-2--and offers practical advice on how to protect the lungs at each stage of our lives, beginning in the womb. She outlines the major categories of chronic lung disease and demystifies the process lung doctors go through in making a diagnosis and recommending treatments. With authority as both practitioner and medical researcher, Han argues powerfully for social policies that make preserving lung health a national priority.
Breathing Lessons is a rallying cry for lung health and an urgent call to start giving our lungs the attention they deserve.
From an expert in pulmonary medicine, the story of our extraordinary lungs, the organ that both explains our origins and holds the keys to our future as a species
We take an average of 7.5 million breaths a year and some 600 million in our lifetime, and what goes on in our body each time oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide expelled is nothing short of miraculous. Our lungs are the lynchpin between our bodies and the outside world, writes Dr. Michael Stephen. And yet, we take our lungs for granted until we're incapacitated and suddenly confronted with their vital importance.
In Breath Taking, pulmonologist Michael Stephen takes us on a journey to shed original and much-needed light on our neglected and extraordinary lungs, at a most critical societal moment. He relates the history of oxygen on Earth and the evolutionary origins of breathing, and explores the healing power of breath and its spiritual potential. He explains in lay terms the links our lungs have with our immune system and with society at large. And he offers illuminating chronicles of pulmonary research and discovery--from Galen in the ancient world to pioneers of lung transplant--and poignant human stories of resilience and recovery--from the frantic attempts to engage his own son's lungs at birth to patients he treats for cystic fibrosis today.
Despite great advances in science, our lungs are ever more threatened. Asthma is more prevalent than ever; rising stress levels make our lungs vulnerable to disease; and COVID-19 has revealed that vulnerability in historic ways. In this time, Breath Taking offers inspiration and hope to millions whose lungs are affected and vital perspective to us all.
