The Health Benefits of Ribose: The All-natural Energy Booster

The Health Benefits of Ribose: The All-natural Energy Booster
This clear, concise new book by Professor Emeritus Paul Addis discusses the importance of ribose, a naturally occurring sugar produced in the body from glucose. This slowly produced sugar is the structural backbone of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy molecule that powers all the body’s cells, and is a pivotally important part of DNA, the body’s information library known as the genetic code. Ribose has received increased attention recently because research has shown that, although it is essential for literally thousands of functions in all the cells and tissues, it is in short supply in the body. The sudden interest in ribose is also fueled by the constant stress many people now live with. Stress depletes the body’s stores of ribose, and they can’t be naturally replaced fast enough to maintain optimal health. The author says that restoring adequate levels of ribose to the body through supplementation is extremely beneficial in treating or preventing disorders such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, congestive heart failure, and ischemic heart disease. With brain metabolism and neurological disorders, people who have Alzheimer’s disease or Parkinson’s disease have shown demonstrablly low levels of ATP. Supplementing with ribose has raised these lowered levels, and accoding to one theory, has even boosted the energy of brain tissue. Ribose also acts to control appetite and weight gain, and helps the body maintain a normal blood-sugar level, making it useful in treating diabetes. Another major benefit is how well it protects muscles from fatigue and soreness when they have been pushed to the limit in exercise. Ribose is a true rejuvenator that enhances health and wellness, and one small daily dose will give you more energy, help you think more clearly, and make you feel less pressured than you ever dreamed possible.

Customer Review: Worthwhile, weighty advice. Not fluff!!
Listen, folks. I’ve read fluff and this is not it. I think that all of the other diet books ‘the get thin quick’ books are the real fluffy, short-cut, dead end type of books. Not to pick on the reviewer who used the terms ‘New Agey’ and ‘fluff’, but it bothers me very much when, when confronted with terms like ‘intuitive’ and ’self-love’ people automatically junk the advice and don’t even give the advice a fair shake. It seems altogether too common to listen to books simply because they sound scientific or even negative. I’d say it’s pretty common knowledge that overeating is, in large part, an emotional condition, so taking that into account, this book is smart. It doesn’t tell you how many calories are in a banana or what type of fat is in cheese versus what is in olive oil, but it transcends any and all diets and instead centers on common sense. That being said, I think that people should follow whichever regime feels right for them, but I do agree with the author when she says that ultimately restrictive diets give way to binge eating or other lapses. A lasting lifestyle change can be found through this book. Cheers…
Customer Review: New Age malarky
If you’re into New Age fluff, you’ll like this book. However if you’re looking for real emotional work that will free you of your feelings-related food obsession, save your money. If you’re a fan of Geneen Roth’s book “Breaking Free” you might like this one. Basically McCubbrey says that your intuition tells you what to eat, when, & how much. Factors are preventing you from getting in touch with your inate intuition. Learn to stop criticizing your body and love yourself because “if God were the ocean, you would be a cupful of ocean water.” You must reclaim “the light of your intuition” and “act as if you never had a weight problem.” A better book: “Shrink Yourself” by Roger Gould MD - a powerful (no fluff) book for realists with weight issues.
