First and foremost, this is to my view, belief and perception to be the one most important martial word, character and ideogram I have ever posted on to date. So, please read it carefully and take heed.
Tosho [図書]: The characters/ideograms mean "books." The first character means, "map; drawing; plan; unexpected; accidentally," and the second character means, "write." I am not sure but together it means books. Books in the sense for this particular post two books that will enlighten, entertain and educate the individual toward a more healthy and fit life - two important aspects of any discipline be is sport, martial or economic (i.e. jobs, work, etc.).
The two are:
Bibliography:
Kessler, David A. "The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite." Rodale Books. New York. 2009.
Campbell, T. Colin and Campbell, Thomas M. II. "The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss, and Long-term Health. BenBella Books, inc. Texas. 2006.
The second book is the most important of the two. This one was earth shaking for me. I had an incident a few years back and was told to go on medications, etc. and I refused. I already knew there had to be some way around those recommendations and all they would subject to my mind and body as to complications, etc.
I changed my diet but even then it was not enough even when the specialist said diet would not do it. Now, today, I have come to the conclusion that I would refuse both bypass heart surgery and/or angioplasty, etc. along with the drugs and am moving to the diet explained in the China Study. I am almost totally on a plant based diet except for fish. I am going to move away from fish as well and get what I need and what the body truly desires from a plant based whole food diet.
This is something I believe wholeheartedly and the first time I have seen the facts and figures in print that say, this stuff is meant to be how I nourish my body. The stories involved are inspiring and bring me great hope for a long, healthier and happier life way into the hundreds. I want to be a karate-ka who exceeds the hundred ten years mark.
The first book is a real eye-opener to the state of western diets.
