Eat like a pig, run like a horse : how food fights hijacked our health and the new science of exercise / by Marx de Salcedo, Anastacia,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."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" --

Cactus Jack : a novel / by Smith, B. J.(Brad J.),author.;
"Brad Smith's latest is a terrific novel about a thirty-something single woman, the untried colt she inherits, a horse crazy little girl, and their band of misfits and has-beens who stick it to the establishment in the cutthroat world of horse racing. Billie Masterson is a chronic underachiever, drowning herself in alcohol and bad relationships in Ohio. She hasn't been home to the family's broken-down thoroughbred farm in Kentucky since college. Her mother committed suicide when Billie was a teen and she blames her father, Will Masterson. When Will drops dead while working on the farm, Billie returns to rural Kentucky for the funeral, intending only to pay her respects before high-tailing it back to Ohio. However, she's informed by her father's lawyer, the garrulous David Mountain Clay, that she now owns the farm ... and all the debt that goes with it. Determined to sell everything, settle the debts and get out of town, Billie discovers that her father's colt, a horse named Cactus Jack, is the object of obsession for billionaire Reese Ryker, the louche scion of a department store dynasty and now owner of Double R Racing, one of the top thoroughbred stables in the world. Billie is willing to sell everything to Ryker-until she realizes that he's an entitled misogynist and a not-so-subtle racist. Against her better judgment, she decides to keep the farm and the untested horse. To do that she needs to race the animal-and beat Ryker at his own game. Assisted by a team of misfits, including a washed-up trainer with whom she has a bit too much history, the horse-crazy little girl next door, and her father's ex-girlfriend, Billie and Cactus Jack take the track by a storm"--
