Inspirasjon og fakta

Hva er det som får flere og flere til å senke seg ned i iskaldt vann midtvinters? Hva skjer i kroppen, og hva er viktig å vite før, under og etter et bad? Vinterbading gir svar på dette og på en rekke andre spørsmål som sørlendingen Cecilie Thunem-Saanum jevnlig får. I boken deler hun av sin kunnskap og erfaring gjennom åtte sesonger og lærer deg hvordan du gjør denne unike og utfordrende helse- og naturopplevelsen trygg og berikende, mentalt så vel som fysisk. Hun forteller deg hva du bør vite om utstyr, sikkerhet, forberedelser og egne forventninger, og hva forskerne sier om virkningen av iskalde bad på vår fysiske og mentale helse. Forfatterens betraktninger rundt mot, mestring og måloppnåelse kan overføres til hverdagslivet på land. Med Vinterbading ønsker hun å inspirere nysgjerrige til å forsøke seg og erfarne til å utvide sin badeopplevelse.

Vurderer du å bli en vinterbader, er denne boken et godt sted å starte.

Cecilie Thunem-Saanum har bakgrunn fra ulike lederstillinger knyttet til drift og markedsføring innenfor reise- og kulturlivet. Siden 2004 har hun vært selvstendig næringsdrivende og virket som kurs- og foredragsholder, mentor og rådgiver i kommunikasjon og tidsstyring.

Vet du hva virus er? I denne populærvitenskapelige og underholdende boken får du bli med på virusenes utrolige reise og lære mer om hva de består av, hvordan de smitter og lager sykdom, og hva som skjer når et virus inntar kroppen.

Virus er enten på reisefot eller så holder de på å pakke bagasjen. De er avlet for å spre seg, og de nøler ikke med å legge ut på langferd mellom kontinentene som usynlige og reiselystne blindpassasjerer.

Virus er forsvinnende små, og koronaviruset SARS-CoV-2 har en diameter på knappe 100 nanometer. Det betyr at en virushær på 10 000 koronavirus som marsjerer på rekke, ikke blir større enn et knappenålshode. Størrelsen til tross, virus kan reise jorda rundt og tvinge en hel verden i kne.

Historien om virus handler vel så mye om sykdommene de forårsaker og skjebnene til menneskene som smittes. I boken kan du blant annet lese om den norske sjømannen som brakte HIV til Norge allerede i 1962, og om Ola Olsen som på grunn av polio lå 26 år i en vippeseng.

Er du redd for virus? Hvis du er villig til å trosse frykten, vil du finne at virusviten er svært nyttig!
