Proper nutrition brings health to mind and body
In The New Nutrition, Felicia covers all the topics necessary to understand the complicated field of nutrition. She examines modern research that shows that correct nutrition actively promotes a healthy body and mind. She explains how our choices of vitamins, minerals, supplements and herbs advance this health and how pitfalls in the way we use them cause us to waste money and in some cases lead us to harm the health we so desire. To help us in these choices, she evaluates nutritional products and the companies that sell these products to us. The New Nutrition pulls it all together!

Simply Healthy is Simply Delicious
My fiancee and I have cooked many recipes from this book.The book offers great variety with recipes inspired by Southwest cooking, Mexican dishes, Chinesse stir fry, Morrocan, Indian and Italian cooking.They all taste superb and are not that hard to prepare (once you stock your spice rack).

Healthy Gourmet, No Longer an Oxymoron
This cookbook is full of delicious, unusual, and healthy food.The recipies do require some knowledge of cooking and a restocking of your shelves.I tend to plan the meals for a week, making out the grocery list from the list of ingredients for each meal.Wear your sun glasses for this trip to the grocery store, your basket will be glowing with orange, yellow, red and green items.Stick with using this book exclusively for a month and you will never think the same about food.I found that cooking and eating delicious food to be the best instruction in what constitutes a healthy diet.

Its all here...
Looking for one magic cook book? Simply Healthy seems to have it all. Almost every one of the recipes has turned out to be a winner. Quick prep time too. My wife and I love this book! Watch out for the pasta... itsdelicious! ... Read more

Are vitamins doing us any good? Could they even be dangerous?
Every year we spend 600 million on vitamin supplements, but do they actually do us any good? Some believe they offer the promise of preventing or even curing some of the world's biggest killers, such as heart disease and cancer. Others claim that taking large doses of some vitamins may in certain cases be harmful. So what are the facts? The real truth about vitamins and antioxidants answers these questions. Starting nearly 40 years ago, one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century and double Nobel Prize winner, Linus Pauling, revolutionized the way people thought about vitamins. He claimed that by taking huge doses of vitamin C you could prevent or even cure the common cold. He predicted that if everybody followed his advice, the common cold could even be eradicated. Many scientists dismissed his theory as quackery, but the public loved it and it helped launch a huge industry. But the latest evidence shows the great man was mistaken.

Editorial Review

We know we need antioxidants--those nutrients that protect us from disease and delay some of the effects of aging, notably vitamins A (carotene), C, and E and the minerals selenium and zinc. Eating these nutrients in foods gives you more potency with smaller amounts than taking them in supplements. Read more
