The \u003ci\u003eJournal of American Medicine\u003c\/i\u003e reports that gout currently affects approximately 9.2 million people in the US (or 3.9 percent of the population) and yet very little has been published about gout and its treatment. While experts agree on how to treat gout, they debate the impact that food and lifestyle can have in its management. Long-term treatment of the condition requires a more comprehensive approach than drug therapy. Dr. Girnita shows that through a combination of nutrition and lifestyle in addition to some medications individuals can reduce the frequency and severity of attacks of gout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Complete Gout Management and Nutrition Guide\u003c\/i\u003e is for both the newly diagnosed and long-term sufferers. In this book, you'll find everything you need to know about gout, from how to identify the disease to the various treatments available. You'll also learn about foods and their relationship with gout. You may know that certain foods can trigger a gout attack, but you may not be aware that eating other foods can help with controlling the disease. We've also included more than 100 recipes for nutritious, delicious, easy-to-prepare meals, plus meal plans for a month -- putting you in the driver's seat to manage your gout.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56294736232821,"sku":"9780778807230","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780778807230_26c9717d-8dc1-4c02-8acc-a04cc7930b2a.jpg?v=1786015817"},{"product_id":"9781886969933","title":"Taekwondo","description":"\u003cp\u003eLearn the Whole Story Behind the World's Most Popular Martial Art!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough millions of people around the world practice the fascinating art of Taekwondo, so little is known about its history, principles or philosophy.

Too often, however, this is simply not the case. Given the current popularity of sport competition in the martial arts, many techniques of defensive value have been stripped away or forfeited altogether in favor of those certain to score in the ring. While the thirst for Olympic gold has clearly played a significant role in propelling taekwondo into the forefront, it should be remembered that this native Korean martial art contains over 3200 distinct self defense techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book describes in detail, the history and evolution of Taekwondo from its ancient roots to modern day applications.
