There is no magic pill. There is no perfect diet. Could it be that our underlying assumption—that what we’re eating is making us fat and sick—is just plain wrong? To address the rapid rise of “lifestyle diseases” like diabetes and heart disease, scientists have conducted a whopping 500,000 studies of diet and another 300,000 of obesity. Journalists have written close to 250 million news articles combined about these topics. Yet nothing seems to halt the epidemic. Anastacia Marx de Salcedo’s Eat Like a Pig, Run Like a Horse looks not just to data-driven science, but to animals and the natural world around us for a new approach. What she finds will transform the national debate about the root causes of our most pervasive diseases and offer hope of dramatically reducing the number who suffer—no matter what they eat. It all began with her own medical miracle—she has multiple sclerosis but has discovered that daily exercise was key to keeping it from progressing. And now, new research backs up her own experience. This revelation prompted Marx de Salcedo to ask what would happen if people with lifestyle illnesses put physical activity front and center in their daily lives? Eat Like a Pig, Run Like a Horse takes us on a fascinating journey that weaves together true confessions, mad(ish) scientists, and beguiling animal stories. Marx de Salcedo shows that we need to move beyond our current diet-focused model to a new, dynamic concept of metabolism as regulated by exercise. Suddenly the answer to good health is almost embarrassingly simple. Don’t worry about what you eat. Worry about how much you move. In a few years’ time, adhering to a finicky Keto, Paleo, low-carb, or any other special diet to stay healthy will be as antiquated as using Daffy’s Elixir or Dr. Bonker’s Celebrated Egyptian Oil—popular “medicines” from the 1800s—to cure disease. And just as the 19th-century health revolution was based on a new understanding that the true cause of malaria, tuberculosis, and cholera was microorganisms, so the coming 21st-century one will be based on our new understanding that exercise is the only way to metabolic health. Fascinating and brilliant, Eat Like a Pig, Run Like a Horse is primed to usher in that new era.

Take these prescribed pills, and call the doctor (the Holy Spirit) in the morning! The best known people in the Bible are God and his Son, Jesus, whom he sent to this earth two thousand years ago. He sent his Son for a reason, and that reason was to let everybody on this earth know that there is a Savior. Jesus left us with a word before he left, and his word was that he would leave us with peace. When will we take this and make it applicable to our lives? We have troubles all around us. But the Holy Spirit is there for us. Some of us don't even think to say, "Good morning," to the Holy Spirit, who wakes us up each day. We just go along our way. Here are some of the issues in this book that we face, and the Holy Spirit helps us along the way with a word from the Bible. Finances is a major problem in today's society. We invest in the stock market, lottery, casinos, and other investments that take money right out of our hands. However, the Holy Spirit tells us to invest only in him, and he will supply all our needs. He tells us to test him and see if he won't open up the heavens and pour you out a blessing. The Holy Spirit has a word for our enemies too. The Old Testament says, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." However, when we come up against the enemy, the Holy Spirit tells us in the New Testament that the battle is his, not ours. The Spirit saves us from going to jail or to our graves. The Holy Spirit knows what's best for us. Don't our emotions get out of context! We are emotional people on this earth. We let some of the smallest things upset us. Then we end up taking it out on our family and friends. We end up always on the losing end and later apologize for our mistakes. However, as you read this book, you'll find scripture in the Bible stating, "We do not fight against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, against the powers of this dark world and spiritual forces of evil." Wow! We've been fighting the wrong person. The devil does come to steal, kill, and destroy. The list goes on and on from our marriages, finances, and family. My book will not only lead you to do the right things in life but lead you into the hands of God, which is the Bible. We all must evangelize God's word in this fallen world! Let's do so before we go home to our Father, who is in heaven. Then he'll say, "Job well done, thy good and faithful servant!"

A new book especially written for the time-starved 21st-century horse owner! Do you day after day make a promise to train yourself and your horse to be better at something, but when you get to the barn there just doesn’t seem to be enough time? Don’t worry, what really matters is the quality of the training you do manage to fit in. It really is possible to carry out good quality, progressive training with a horse in only three minutes a day. Educator and horse trainer Vanessa Bee’s “light bulb moment” was when she realized that if a training session had a realistic goal, every horse achieved the goal in under three minutes. This led her to create techniques appropriate for use in brief digestible lessons that ultimately produce significant gains in short sessions. This refreshing new method offers 35 ground exercises, 24 ridden exercises, and 25 “real world” exercises that will get you out and about with a safe, sane, well-trained horse.
