Hittanóráról, innen-onnan a legtöbbünk ismeri Jézus megkísértésének történetét. Negyven napra kiment a pusztába, ahol az ördög többször is bűnre csábította őt. A keresztény vallás alapítójának sivatagi vándorlását Ewan McGregort főszereplésével dolgozta fel a Last Days in the Desert. Magát, Jézust és az Ördögöt is Ewan McGregor alakítja, a fényképezésért az immár háromszoros Oscar-díjas Emmanuel Lubezki felel.
Miss Novak joins the staff of an international boarding school to teach a conscious eating class and forms a strong bond with five students that eventually takes a dangerous turn.
Képzelj el egy kisfiút, aki mesét olvastat fel rég elhunyt nagyapjával. Képzelj el egy családot, amint vakációra készül Nilbog kies városába. Képzelj el egy Nilbog nevű várost, melynek kihalt utcáin csak a szél fuvolázik. Képzelj el egy erdőt, melynek mélyéről velőtrázó sikoly és vadállati ordítás hallik. Képzeld el, hogy menekülnél, de földbe gyökeredzik a lábad, s növénnyé változol. Amit nem tudsz elképzelni, az csak ezután jön, egy vakáció a rémálmok birodalmában. Nyaralj a Pokolban!
A videóban megismerhetjük azt az ausztrál férfit, aki jelentős túlsúllyal és autoimmun betegséggel rendelkezett, és egyszer csak megelégelte az orvosokhoz járást és a gyógyszerszedést. Elindult, hogy bejárja az Egyesült Államok egy részét. Az volt a terve, hogy kizárólag zöldségeket és gyümölcsöket fog enni az úton, így népszerűsítve az egészséges életmódot. Úgy gondolta, hogy szervezete képes lesz az öngyógyításra, ha kizárólag zöldségek és gyümölcsök levét fogyasztja 60 napig. Joe az utazás során 5000 km-t tett meg, és 500 amerikai emberrel beszélgetett az egészséges életmódról és az egészséges táplálkozásról.
Haim-Aaron is a bright, ultra-orthodox religious scholar living in Jerusalem. His talents and devotion are envied by all. One evening, following a self-imposed fast, Haim-Aaron collapses and loses consciousness. The paramedics announce his death, but his father takes over resuscitation efforts and, beyond all expectations, Haim-Aaron comes back to life. After the accident, try as he might, Haim-Aaron remains apathetic to his studies. He feels overwhelmed by a sudden awakening of his body and suspects this is God testing him. He wonders if he should stray from the prescribed path and find a way to rekindle his faith... The title means "Rectify" in Hebrew; nevertheless the movie is called Tikkun in the English-speaking world.
Fasting may serve as the solution to solve our epidemic of chronic illnesses today. However, most think of only one method of fasting when they hear the term ‘fasting.’ This documentary explores 7 different methods of fasting including Time-Restricted Feeding, Intermittent & Prolonged Fasting, Long-Term Water Fasting, Religious Fasting, Eating Disorders, Improvising or Fasting Unsafely, Fasting Mimicking Diet, and Juice Fasting. The film interviews 54 people including the world’s leading scientists and medical professionals on fasting, as well as individuals who used fasting to treat obesity, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular problems, skin problems, high blood pressure, chronic headaches, joint pain, and many others. This feature motion picture is the most comprehensive and objective look at fasting on film.
Obesity has become one of the most overwhelming diseases in our modern society, even now considered to be of epidemic proportions. This documentary film dives into this sensitive, but socially powerful topic and exposes shocking statistics of the fattening of our culture. Kenny Saylors, overweight himself, faces his own fat in his life as he embarks upon a 55 day, Doctor supervised, water fast to see the effects of this ancient practice on our bodies today and to examine if healing properties truly do exist within our own bodies in this extreme method of food restriction.
British journalist and physician Michael Mosley sets an ambitious goal: to become healthier and lose weight while making as few changes as possible to his life. In working toward these goals, Mosley discovers a powerful new science behind the old idea of fasting, a program that still allows him to enjoy his favorite foods. He takes a road trip across the U.S. to investigate how a little hunger can turn on the body’s “repair genes” and, of course, tries the new science himself. Mosley learns that a diet based on feast and famine has powerful effects on the body, reducing the risks of heart disease, diabetes and some cancers. The diet seems to pack the anti-aging clout of calorie restriction while still allowing for a taste of the good life. And it turns out to be not only good for the body; it may also be good for the brain.
While life expectancy is increasing in Western countries, cases of diabetes, hypertension, obesity and cancer are increasing, and the use of medication has exploded. Does this mean that in order to live to a ripe age we are condemned to swallow more and more drugs? What if there was another way? For half a century, in Russia, Germany and the U.S., doctors and biologists have been exploring a different therapeutic approach: fasting. The results are amazing. Soviet researchers have provided a body of clinical studies of exceptional health…only published in Russian, and thus unknown in the West. Young biologists from the University of Los Angeles have overturned conventional wisdom and used molecular biology to demonstrate the powerful effects of fasting. This research suggests a wide-ranging potential, which could include treatments for the disease of the century, cancer. If these scientists are right, maybe our approach to disease and treatment will need a rethink.
In the Western world, the life expectancy for most of us is around 80 years of age. But in every corner of the planet, there are people who live extraordinarily longer than the average person. Scientists are discovering that unlocking the genetic secrets of animals and humans who live longer than most is the key to helping the rest of us wind back our cellular clocks naturally, live longer lives and can even improve fertility. In Live Long Die Young, Anja Taylor went on a 5-day fast that experiments are showing promising results for in the fight against the four major diseases of getting old.
