$8.95 U.S. - Antioxidants
Antioxidants are compounds that prevent free radicals from damaging the cells of your body.The damage, called oxidative stress, can accumulate and contribute to the development of several chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer, as well as age-related conditions, such as macular degeneration, cataracts, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Free radicals are unstable molecules and, depending on their chemical nature and composition, can attack either the membranes that keep our cells intact, the DNA or genetic material contained within our cells, or the proteins that help keep our cells functioning properly. Where do free radicals come from? Some are produced in our environment, i.e., air pollutants,cigarette smoke and ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. They are also produced in our bodies naturally during the process of metabolism, and when our immune system is presented with a virus or other harmful microbe that needs to be destroyed. With the Antioxidants eBook from Tufts Health & Nutrition, we help you discover the effects of antioxidants, and highlight the benefits of consuming a diet high in plant-based foods on maintaining health and preventing disease.

$8.95 U.S. - Guide to Eating Right to Avoid Cognitive Decline
This e-Book is a comprehensive review of the latest research on the role of diet and nutrition in maintaining cognitive health. It presents a range of scientific evidence, from large observational studies to animal and human intervention trials, on the impact of individual foods, nutrients and overall diet on cognitive aging. While the research in this area continues, and our understanding necessarily evolves, the guide provides a better understanding of the information that is currently available and helps to wade through the advice given by popular media.
We all know from life experience that there is a significant range in the effects of aging on cognitive function – some individuals experience cognitive decline while others do not. Although there are multiple factors contributing to this disparity, a healthy lifestyle and diet can lower your risk. This guide offers information on changes that you can make to your diet – such as swapping out foods high in saturated fats (e.g. butter, red meat) for those rich in unsaturated fats (e.g. olive oil, nuts, fish) – that may help you to improve your odds for avoiding cognitive decline.

This special e-book explores the health benefits of vitamins and minerals.

That might be good advice, depending on your diet and overall health; consult with your physician before starting any supplement regimen. But be aware that you should try to obtain most of your vitamins and minerals from food, not from pills. Studies have consistently shown that the synergy of obtaining essential nutrients from your diet delivers greater benefits than when the same nutrients are taken as supplements.
