Hot!!!

Special Price Here

I had to get this book for my nutrition class, but I actually enjoyed reading it. It’s a great beginner textbook with many useful tools that’s easy to understand. I would recommend it.

Science of Nutrition, The (2nd Edition) Overview

Key Benefit: The Science of Nutrition, Second Edition is uniquely organized using an applied approach, which organizes vitamins and minerals based on their functions and effects on the body. This applied approach is most evident in the functional organization of the micronutrient (vitamin and mineral) chapters. Rather than requiring readers to memorize all the vitamins and minerals and their characteristics, the authors present them based on their functions (like fluid and electrolyte balance, antioxidant function, bone health, energy metabolism, and blood and immunity health), so that readers can understand their effects on the body.

 

The Second Edition adds new learning aids to further help readers learn and apply the material. Additionally, learning and teaching aids have been expanded for readers, including a new version of MyDietAnalysis, available in both online and CD-ROM formats.

Key Topics: The Role of Nutrition in Our Health, Designing a Healthful Diet, The Human Body: Are We Really What We Eat?, Carbohydrates: Bountiful Sources of Energy and Nutrients, In-Depth: Alcohol, Lipids: Essential Energy-Supplying Nutrients, Proteins: Crucial Components of All Body Tissues, Metabolism: From Food to Life, In-Depth: Vitamins &Minerals: Micronutrients with Macro Powers, Nutrients Involved in Energy Metabolism, Nutrients Involved in Fluid and Electrolyte Balance, Nutrients Involved in Antioxidant Function, In-Depth: Phytochemicals and Functional Foods, Nutrients Involved in Bone Health, Nutrients Involved in Blood Health and Immunity, Achieving and Maintaining a Healthful Body Weight, In-Depth: Disordered Eating, Nutrition and Physical Activity: Keys to Good Health, Food Safety and Technology: Impact on Consumers, Nutrition Through the Life Cycle: Pregnancy and the First Year of Life, Nutrition Through the Life Cycle: Childhood and Adolescence, Nutrition Through the Life Cycle: The Later Years, Global Nutrition, Appendices,  Answers to Review Questions, Glossary, Index, Credits

Child of Mine: Feeding with Love and Good Sense Review

Hot!!!

Special Price Here

“Here’s the best take-away I got from this enlightening book and it had a PROFOUND affect. There is a central theme about the “division of responsibility” at various stages of child development and, basically: “You (as parent) are responsible for the WHAT, WHEN and WHERE of feeding. Your child is responsible for the HOW MUCH and WHETHER of eating.” It’s that simple…and hard for control-freaks to practice. But I’m SO glad I read her book or I never would have understood the lasting implications of the power struggles that happen with food, parents and children. It should be a must-read for every parent forcing food down their kids throats or negotiating about taking 3 bites of this and 2 bites of that before they can have this or that. (Satter also convinced me that my child won’t starve if she chooses not to eat!) One more thing…if my daughter gets her one cookie WITH her lunch, and chooses to eat the cookie first…guess what happens? She goes on to eat her lunch, (after or during her cookie treat) and enjoys her meal! But if I hold out the cookie as some reward for getting through lunch, she rushes through the meal and, after about 6 bites says, “I’m done and ready for my cookie!” So don’t sweat the cookies mom…divide the responsibility and conquer! Your child will be healthier for it.”

Child of Mine: Feeding with Love and Good Sense Overview

Child of Mine: Feeding with Love and Good Sense Specifications

Confused about feeding your baby or toddler? Child of Mine, by noted nutritionist Ellyn Satter, is an essential guide for every new parent concerned with nutrition and appetite. Satter’s advice is thorough and straightforward: “You can’t control or dictate the quantity of food your child eats, and you shouldn’t try. You also can’t control or dictate the kind of body your child develops, and you shouldn’t try. What you can do, and it is a great deal, is set things up for your child so she, herself, can regulate her food intake as well as possible, and so she can develop a healthy body that is constitutionally right for her.”

Child of Mine provides information on all aspects of feeding, from pregnancy through the toddler years. Satter begins with historical and social perspectives on infant feeding, describing how formula was developed and discussing the social movement that lead to accepting a child’s input into his or her own development. Nutrition during pregnancy, infant feeding, introducing solid foods, building positive eating relationships, and avoiding eating disorders are all discussed. The sections on breastfeeding vs. bottle feeding, and on the regulation of food intake (particularly the relationship between parental attitudes and children’s eating habits) are especially recommended.

Satter provides specific nutritional information (including charts, diagrams, and nutritional breakdowns) interspersed with a no-nonsense, experienced perspective that will help you establish good eating habits that your children will benefit from long after they’re out of diapers. –Ericka Lutz

I don’t know what I would’ve done if I hadn’t gotten this book. I almost didn’t buy it. For the past year I couldn’t figure out why I was so irritable and overwhelmed at times. Now I know – too much sugar!! This book is invaluable. If you have times when you have a really short temper and just explode, you need to buy this book. It’s probably because you’re sugar sensitive. I followed her advice and got the zinc, vitamin C, and B complex supplements and I feel like a whole different person. I’m not kidding. I did research on B vitamins and now that I know what I know, I wish I would’ve gotten them earlier. I was deficient in B vitamins. I have way more energy, am more focused, and have more self-esteem. B vitamins are touted for helping with depression. I didn’t know I was in a mildly depressed state until I took the B vitamins. This is a very good book! Buy it!

The New 8 Week Cholesterol Cure: The Ultimate Programme for Preventing Heart Disease Review

Hot!!!

Special Price Here

This book has changed my life, to put it mildly. I’ve been following it for almost four months now. I’m 53 and have not felt this healthy in 20 years. I weigh less than I did 20 years ago. I feel almost like a kid again. Even my eyesight has improved and I rarely have to wear my distance glasses anymore.

But it was my heart that I was worried about four months ago. Shortly after starting the niacin and other supplements, I could actually feel a difference in my heart and blood chemistry. It is my belief that if there is such a thing as a miracle supplement, it’s niacin. Even my mental acuity has increased.

Today I got the results of my most recent blood test. When I went in to the doctor’s office, the nurse practitioner looked at my results and asked me for a list of the medications I’m taking. I answered “nothing, not a single medication”. She clearly didn’t believe me, so I told her again, and she just looked kind of shocked and said “Well, that’s a good thing!”.

All the heart doctor told me was that he would like me to take some fish oil to “improve my LDL pattern”. Guess he was having trouble finding anything to advise me on. LOL. This was a far cry from my visit four months ago when he put heavy pressure on me to start using statins, et al. I’m grateful that I found this book instead.

Here are my before and after blood test results:

Total cholesterol: dropped from 252 to 196.
LDL (bad) cholesterol: dropped from 164 to 100
HDL (good) cholesterol: rose from 51 to 60
Triglycerides: dropped from 185 to 96
Blood pressure: dropped from 136/94 to 122/74

I’m thrilled. My wife is thrilled. I exercise more, I eat better, and I don’t even have bad niacin flushes anymore. Kowalski was a genius.

The New 8 Week Cholesterol Cure: The Ultimate Programme for Preventing Heart Disease Overview

This updated edition includes contemporary health research, advice and information for preventing heart disease, plus “guaranteed” strategies to reduce cholesterol levels naturally.

Features of the book include: explanation of the lipid profile – the different sorts of cholesterol – and how to avoid the worst offenders; presentation of the new supplements – with honest advice about which ones should be taken, regardless of how a diet might be; and the low-down on what’s smart for the heart – and what’s pure hype including aspirin, garlic, red wine and soy.

The Natural Pregnancy Book: Herbs, Nutrition, and Other Holistic Choices Review

Hot!!!

Special Price Here

When I found this book, I was pregnant with my daughter. Following Romm’s advice, I was able to successfully deal with minor complications I was having by using nutrition and herbs. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone who is looking for sound, safe advice from a standpoint of natural methods. I have lent this book out many times, all to rave reviews, and now it travels from expectant mother to expectant mother. I am happy that it is circulating among friends, helping women. After my daughter was born, I bought Romm’s book on healthy children, and following her nutrition and herbal medicine recommendations I have nursed my daughter through chicken pox, two ear infections, a bad fever and several episodes of congestion/colds/coughs. My daughter is healthy (despite this list of illnesses), and has never had to take antibiotics. In fact, using Romm’s remedies, none of these illnesses ever got bad enough to require a doctor visit. I can thank Romm for the fact that my girl has only visited doctors for well child check-ups. I have been inspired enough by this success to pursue a career in herbal medicine and nursing. This is the only book review I have written for Amazon, and I am a voracious reader of natural medicine/nutrition/gardening/beekeeping/fiction/natural housebuilding books. Romm is now a medical doctor with a degree from Yale. Thanks Aviva!

Digestive Wellness Review

Hot!!!

Special Price Here

Lipski’s book DIGESTIVE WELLNESS, explains digestion exceptionally well for the lay person, and gives concrete, do-able directions for restoring digestive function for a host of gut problems. Maybe it ties it all together for me because I’ve already read a lot on the subject of digestion, but it does seem like this particular book really empowers the individual in restoring their own optimal gut function no matter what the originating cause.

If you were only going to get one book on the subject of digestion, DIGESTIVE WELLNESS should be the book. It covers both the specific ‘diagnosed’ gut issues as well as the non-specific. It gives the conventional tests as well as the ‘functional medicine’ tests that are often more informative. It suggests specific diet change recommendations and reasonable short-term supplement changes that aid healing for specific problems. My FNP saw my copy and will be ordering her own copy ASAP – (and yes, she has gut issues, too, that haven’t been resolved by modern medicine).

Other very useful books on digestion are: Why Stomach Acid is Good for You: Natural Relief from Heartburn, Indigestion, Reflux and GERD by Jonathan Wright, MD, Healthy Digestion the Natural Way: Preventing and Healing Heartburn, Constipation, Gas, Diarrhea, Inflammatory Bowel and Gallbladder Diseases, Ulcers, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and More by D. Lindsey Berkson, Gut Solutions: Natural Solutions to Your Digestive Problems” by Brenda Watson, ND and Leonard Smith, MD. Each of these other books have excellent features, But if I could only buy one book, I’d start with Lipski’s DIGESTIVE WELLNESS.

Digestive Wellness Overview

There is currently an epidemic of digestive illness in this country, an epidemic that can be traced to the foods we eat and the way we live. One-third to one-half of all adults suffer from some sort of digestive problem, and faulty digestion is directly responsible for a vast array of other ailments–everything from bad breath, ulcers, heartburn, and constipation to colitis, diverticulitis, and irritable bowel syndrome. Disorders that are caused indirectly by this problem include arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and migraine headaches. In this well-researched, comprehensive book, noted nutritionist Elizabeth Lipski helps readers understand the complex interrelationships of the digestive process.

I have found the SparkPeople Website very helpful and interesting. this book really helped me understand the program.

SparkPeople will help you track and does emphasize exercise but more recognizes we are all different and celebrates that difference. This speaks to why so many groups. Further, Spark is not a punative attitude but a positive attitude.

The website is free and is great. After scanning the book, I also bought the audible version and listen to it on my way to and from work. It is great!

The Wrinkle Cure Review

Hot!!!

Special Price Here

Over the years I’ve read most of Dr. Perricone’s amazing books. He really is ahead of his time and “The Wrinkle Cure” was his first book so I thought I’d read it too. While some of the information in this book appears in his more recent books it is still helpful and provides excellent information on skin rejuvenation at the most basic level.

If you have crow’s feet, upper lip lines, dark under-eye shadows, jowls, sagging skin, enlarged pores, acne scars or dull skin then this tiny book can show you the way to radiant youthful skin. This book is still relevant almost ten years after it was first published. Dr. Perricone sees wrinkled skin as a disease you can fight and gives you the knowledge you need to combat aging skin.

“The Wrinkle Cure” also explains the biology behind Dr. Perricone’s beliefs. He explains how wrinkles actually form and explains the topic of free radicals especially well. It is helpful to also know that skin creams with collagen in them are ineffective because the collagen molecule is too large to penetrate the skin.

This book discusses the importance of alpha lipoic acid, DMAE, hyaluronic acid, Coenzyme Q 10 and Pycnogenol. It also talks about how vitamin C ester boosts collegen production. Along the way you will also discover the secret of Cleopatra’s milk baths and why sugar accelerates the aging process. Unlike most doctors Dr. Perricone is in favor of daily supplements.

If you really want to see improvements in your skin’s health then I can recommend this book highly. I’ve been following Dr. Perricone’s advice for years and have noticed my skin is clearer, wrinkle-free and more radiant.

If you enjoy this book, here are a few more that are essential reading:

Dr. Perricone’s 7 Secrets to Beauty, Health, and Longevity: The Miracle of Cellular Rejuvenation

The Perricone Promise: Look Younger, Live Longer in Three Easy Steps

The Metabolic Plan: Stay Younger Longer

Caffeine Blues: Wake Up to the Hidden Dangers of America’s #1 Drug

The Perricone Prescription: A Physician’s 28-Day Program for Total Body and Face Rejuvenation

~The Rebecca Review

P.S. If you find Dr. Perricone’s products a little expensive (I have yet to try his cosmeceuticals due to price – Perricone MD Neuropeptide Facial Conformer 2oz/59ml – Brand New Tester 0), try
Derma e Retexturizing Creme, DMAE- Alpha Lipoic – C-Ester, 2 oz (56 g) (Pack of 2) and Derma E – Pycnogenol Eye Gel, .5 oz gel. The DMAE cream and eye gel have most of the recommended items Dr. Perricone talks about in this book.

The Wrinkle Cure Overview

Skin Care’s Leading Voice

Nicholas Perricone, M.D., has done what no other health or beauty expert has done: create the antidote to aging skin.

A Yale-affiliated dermatologist and anti-aging expert, Dr. Perricone has spent nearly 2 decades researching the causes and cures of aging skin. The result is an all-natural antioxidant program for skin rejuvenation that goes far beyond surface fixes and produces startling, long-lasting results in every layer and every cell of your skin. Dr. Perricone’s breakthrough science has the attention and respect of the medical community, and his skin program is already used widely by world-famous newscasters and entertainers. Now, it is your turn to apply Dr. Perricone’s groundbreaking methods to attain beautiful, supple skin!

Dr. Perricone’s program has been touted in Elle, Glamour, In Style, Town & Country, Mirabella, and Newsday, among other publications.

The Wrinkle Cure Specifications

“Plastic surgery isn’t the only way to keep the aging process at bay. With the proper care you can have fabulous skin in your forties, fifties, sixties and beyond,” promises author Nicholas Perricone, M.D., assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Yale University School of Medicine. In his opening chapters, Perricone explains why skin wrinkles and sags–a combination of factors including the passage of time, stress, poor nutrition, excess alcohol consumption, sleep deprivation, and exposure to cigarette smoke, sunlight, and pollution. Ultimately, however, it all boils down to damage caused by those renegade free radicals.

The bulk of his book is then devoted to a clearly presented skin care regimen that involves oral and topical antioxidant therapy. On the oral front, he emphasizes eating antioxidant foods, such as cantaloupe and dark green leafy vegetables, and avoiding “bad carbohydrates” (high in the glycemic index) such as pasta, sugar, and pancakes. And if you want to look good for a big event within a few days he suggests eating “fish, fish and more fish.”

On the topical level, he recommends nutritional skin products such as his DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol) cream (”an instant anti-aging face-lift”), a product that can only be purchased at specific places, such as selected Nordstrom stores or www.Sephora.com. Perricone’s tie-in with his personal line of “cosmeceuticals” makes the book feel a tad self-serving. (He even includes an index of where to buy his products.) However, most of his advice is based on solid research and common sense, which gives this celebrity doctor credibility as well as a huge following. –Gail Hudson
