In this book, Herman Pontzer challenges conventional wisdom about metabolism, exercise, and weight loss. His groundbreaking research shows that exercise does not increase our metabolism; instead, humans burn calories within a narrow range of nearly 3,000 calories per day, regardless of activity level. This evolutionary strategy, while beneficial for survival in times of famine, contributes to modern obesity. Pontzer emphasizes that weight loss requires cutting calories and that all diets succeed or fail based on calorie intake. He also stresses the importance of exercise for maintaining optimal body function, even if it does not lead to weight loss. The book is filled with facts, memorable anecdotes, and insights into how metabolism controls various aspects of health, from fertility to immune function.
In 'Eat Smarter', Shawn Stevenson provides a detailed approach to nutrition, focusing on how the right foods can reboot metabolism, enhance brain function, and transform overall health. The book includes practical advice, scientific research, and personal anecdotes to help readers make informed dietary choices.
In 'Sleep Smarter,' Shawn Stevenson shares easy tips and tricks to help readers achieve the best sleep and health of their lives. The book includes a 14-Day Sleep Makeover, covering topics such as creating the ideal sleep sanctuary, regulating circadian rhythms with sunlight, using clinically proven sleep nutrients and supplements, and stress-reduction exercises. Stevenson emphasizes the critical role of sleep in shedding fat, staving off disease, improving productivity, and enhancing mental and physical health. The book is designed to be a fun and practical guide, providing real-world tools to help readers optimize their sleep and achieve a healthier, happier life.
