Eat, Drink, And Be Gorgeous
There are many ways to eat healthy and look healthy and gorgeous. You do not have to starve or only eat vegetables and fruits either. It's quite possible to have your cake and eat it too, argues dietitian-nutritionist Blum in this bubbly, vivacious approach to living well the healthy way.
Avoiding dietary absolutes and encouraging readers to make gradual changes in their eating habits rather than drastic ones (which are often hard to keep up), Blum's sensible guide is sure to resonate with young women.
She makes compelling arguments for choosing organic foods-going so far as to list the top 12 most contaminated fruits and vegetables-and extols the virtues of grass-fed meat and dairy. An informative chapter detailing alcohol's specific effects on women (including calorie counts for a long list of beers and cocktails) enable readers to make the most of their nights out without paying for it later.
Troubleshooting suggestions offer relief from the symptoms of everything from hangovers and herpes to smoking cessation and premenstrual discomfort. Rounded out with chapters on dietary supplements and depression, as well as a Q&A for frequently asked queries-"What kind of prepared foods (i.e., frozen dinners) are actually good for me?"-Blum's guidebook complete guide to women's health is an encouraging, smart and sisterly volume that deserves a place alongside other trusted go-to resources

Eat, Play, And Be Healthy
There are many ways to eat healthy. From a very young age, we learn that healthy diet composes of a variety of food groups. You have to get your daily protein, carbohydrates, vegetables, fruits, vitamins as well as fat. The US Department of Agriculture has come up with the healthy diet food pyramid to help you determine what a healthy diet is. There are recommended servings of fruits and vegetables that you should have each day.
"Written by one of the world's top nutritional physicians, "Eat, Play, and Be Healthy" gives scientifically sound and kitchen-tested advice on creating lifelong healthy eating habits. This book is a solution to the growing epidemic of nutrition-related health and behavior problems in children' - William Sears, M.D., author of "The Baby Book".
'An excellent guide for parents who want to provide the best possible nutritional health for their growing children' - Ronald Kleinman, M.D., former chairman of the Committee on Nutrition, American Academy of Pediatrics. With so much conflicting advice coming from the media, your friends, and parenting guides, it's hard to know whether you're making the right food choices for your kids.

"Eat, Play, and Be Healthy" shows you how to feed your children to ensure that their young bodies and minds enjoy full and healthy growth at every stage of development.
Picking up where Dr. Walter C. Willett's international bestseller "Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy" left off, W. Allan Walker, M.D., shows how to apply the research-based Healthy Eating Pyramid to a child's unique needs. Drawing on his forty years of clinical research as well as the latest scientific findings, he:
- offers a scientifically proven alternative to the FDA food pyramid;

- provides fun, delicious recipes for healthy foods kids will want to eat.
