Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. Dr. DeVere's book is a much-needed asset to problem solving this multi layered human reality. His clear style, simplifying so many complications, provides opportunity to encourage in a meaningful way. Amazing to have a quick read in such intricate details -- a useful resource. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. So disappointed because this book is for people that cannot smell or taste well. I was hoping for the opposite.Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. Authors Ronald DeVere and Marjorie Calvert have provided a very well designed and much needed book in this publication. Written in such a way that it can be understood by the layman, the book offers information for those who have lost their sense of taste, their sense of smell, or both.The main chapters of the book are: Why Can't I Smell Why Can't I Taste Temperature, Texture, and Spice: How Does the Smell and Taste System Work? Sniffing Out What's Wrong: How Smell and Taste Disorders Are Diagnosed What Does It Mean? Treatment Options and Lifestyle Changes Concepts are presented in a clear way with definitions of words in the footnotes area, with diagrams, and with text boxes for extra information. The most wonderful part of the book though is found in the final two chapters: "Food Preparation"; and "Recipes". The cooking tips and recipes here were taste tested by both smell/taste impaired individuals and individuals with normal taste and smell. Each recipe includes a note on why it was chosen for inclusion in the book. Also, variations are also included with most recipes. These are ideas that can be used if the recipe as presented does not succeed in better satisfying the impaired person. The book has several appendices also: Smell and Taste Clinics Food Resources Recommended Reading Internet Resources About Neurologists About the American Academy of Neurology and the American Academy of Neurology Foundation Finally there is a glossary, and an index. This book is a great resource for anyone suffering from spell and/or taste impairment, and for anyone who has a loved one dealing with the problem. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. I liked this booklet - it was a light, easy read. It has clinical-style information but written for the layman.This 19.95 book has 180 pages - 90 are a discussion of your taste/smell system, with a light brush on touch and how it enhances flavor. The second half of the book are recipes, some of which are intriguing, index, Location of clinics, & glossaries It also has a couple of illustrations to help you visualize this sensing system. It is an intersting read for ANYBODY who feels their taste/smell is wonky. It discusses regular, hpo, and non sensing, causes, effects, how medications can help and hurt - how some common diseases can affect your senses and if it will clear up... and I think I need to see if the local ENT will do a nasal endoscopy - it might clear up a mystery nobody else had been able to touch. Gotta love catching books - this one is definetly a keeper! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Over 200,000 people visit doctors each year for taste and smell problems. Many of these are older adults, as when we age our ability to smell and taste decreases, so up to 14 million Americans 55 and older may live with these disorders, undiagnosed.Smell and taste disorders affect a person's ability to enjoy food and drink and may result in decreased appetite and weight loss, can lead people to consume too much sugar or salt, and in severe cases lead to depression. They can also interfere with the ability to notice potentially harmful chemicals and gases.Published in conjunction with the Ameri Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
