SECRETS OF THE SUPERHUMAN FOOD PYRAMID (Herbs, Spices And Sweeteners Book 1)
"Why the current Food Pyramid Is Wrong And What You Can Do About It Do you feel that becoming the best you can be is more than difficult?
That you are held back from achieving your best by frustrating issues like body fat, sore joints, irritated bowels and brain fog?
Interestingly, a consistent pattern in food pyramids around the world puts cereals, grains, bread, pasta and other starchy carbohydrates at the base of the food pyramid diet.
And good fats from healthy sources are at the top as a "use sparingly" category.
This is exactly opposite of what a well-balanced diet should be.
This model has been proven to lead to a myriad of health problems such as: Excessive weight gain Risk of heart disease due to high cholesterol levels Higher blood sugars leading to diabetes and other related diseases Brain fog and much, much more...
Ben Greenfield, has listened to requests from his coaching clients, readers and listeners to design a "Ben Greenfield Endorsed" food pyramid.
His new design is called the Superhuman Food Pyramid.
His new food pyramid addresses all the above issues in depth according to his personal nutritional philosophies that he has expressed many times in consultations, blog posts, podcasts and talks around the world.
In the first of this series, "Part 1: Herbs, Spices and Sweeteners" you will learn: A full spectrum of choices from "Eat" to "Moderate" to "Avoid" in each food group.
The minimum servings of fruits and sweeteners that will keep your blood sugar balanced.
Which herbs, spices and sweeteners are the best choices to supplement your diet Which ones you may use with moderation and...
The ones to absolutely avoid and why they are toxic to your health Included, as a bonus to make it easier to practically apply Ben's Superhuman Food Pyramid to your diet, several pages have been added at the end of the book listing each food category and the Eat, Moderate, and avoid foods within that category.
You can simply print, grab and go to the grocery store or farmer’s market with your Superhuman Food list.

IT BAND FRICTION FIX!: A Step-by-Step Blueprint to Permanently Eliminate Knee Pain
"Are you destroying your knee while you continue to train in pain?
Your IT band, or "Iliotibial" band is a tight band of tissue on the outside of the leg from the hip to the knee.
At the knee joint, it moves across a hard bone, or condyle, on the left of the femur.
Contact against this condyle is highest when the knee is flexed between 20° and 30°, and when the IT band is excessively tight or stressed, this rubbing action is more vigorous and "friction" and inflammation become a problem.
There is also a fat pad, or bursa, directly between the IT band and the condyle, and this can also become inflamed!
The resulting pain is called IT band friction syndrome (also IT band tendonitis).
If the outside of your knee hurts when you bend, land, twist or squat, then you probably have it!
Stretching is not enough!
Therapy is not enough!
Isolated leg strengthening is not enough!If
you simply fight through the pain and try to just live with your IT band friction syndrome and tendonitis…you will eventually destroy your knee!You need
to be doing an enormous combination of proven methods to heal your knee! That's exactly
what the "IT Band Friction Fix!" system does for you, while keeping things clear, practical, easy and not overwhelming. Announcing Ben

fight inflammation with food and dietary supplements. Water running
