Simple, effective strategies to end exhaustion and boost energy With our modern lifestyles, we have come to believe that being exhausted is a normal state of being - we don't even remember what feeling rested feels like. In Exhausted to Energized, nutritional biochemist Dr Libby Weaver shows that exhaustion is not normal, nor is it healthy - it is a warning sign of imbalance in our lifestyle, emotions or body.

Empowered with the information in this book, learn simple but effective strategies to help liberate yourself from exhaustion and live life with more energy.

Twenty years ago the very idea of an international conference on the fiber contained in plant food would have been totally inconceivable. At that time fiber was generally viewed as an inert component of food of no nutritional value and consequently consid ered as a contaminant, the removal of which would enhance the purity of a product. It was measured by a now obsolete and almost worthless test introduced in the last century for veterinary rather than human nutrition, and what was measured was referred to as "crude fiber," containing part of the cellulose and lignin but none of the numerous components of fiber now known to play important roles in the maintenance of health. There were a few lone voices prior to the last two decades who had extolled the laxative properties of the undigested portion of food, assuming that these were related to its irritant action on the bowel mucosa. In retrospect this was a total misconception, and "softage" would have been a more appropriate term than "roughage," since its presence insured soft, not irritating, colon content.
