Arthritis of the knee results from lack of activity, or abusive treatment of joints. Of course another cause is injury, trauma. This book is first and foremost about how you can avoid pain, and expensive, invasive surgeries. Who is at risk? Airline pilots, passengers, programmers, bakers, long haul drivers, grocers, retail workers; anyone who spends an inordinate amount of time sitting or standing in one place could eventually suffer from knee osteoarthritis and pain.
Those who have such prolonged periods of inactivity may find invaluable techniques in this book for leg and knee strength and health, and how using these methods, without meds or special equipment, they may be able to prevent chronic pain, and avoid expensive and painful surgeries, such as Total Knee Replacement.
Knee Deep in Pain covers some of the more typical problems people have with knees, and offers a new concept, Flenches, that can be done anywhere, and any time to restore knee health. Publisher: http://www.Nouvellesante.com

Reach your genetic potential in 6 months?
Sleep 2 hours per day and perform better than on 8 hours?
Lose more fat than a marathoner by bingeing?

Indeed, and much more. This is not just another diet and fitness book.

The 4-Hour Body is the result of an obsessive quest, spanning more than a decade, to hack the human body. It contains the collective wisdom of hundreds of elite athletes, dozens of MDs, and thousands of hours of jaw-dropping personal experimentation. From Olympic training centers to black-market laboratories, from Silicon Valley to South Africa, Tim Ferriss, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The 4-Hour Workweek, fixated on one life-changing question:

For all things physical, what are the tiniest changes that produce the biggest results?

Thousands of tests later, this book contains the answers for both men and women. From the gym to the bedroom, it’s all here, and it all works.

You Will Learn (in less than 30 minutes each):
* How to lose those last 5-10 pounds (or 100+ pounds) with odd combinations of food and safe chemical cocktails.
* How to prevent fat gain while bingeing (X-mas, holidays, weekends)
* How to increase fat-loss 300% with a few bags of ice
