The 200 SuperFoods That Will Save Your Life: A Complete Program to Live Younger, Longer

Image

McGraw-Hill | 2009 | ISBN: 0071625755 | 400 pages | PDF | 5,7 MB
A total program to improve health and increase longevity—complete with over 150 meal plans, recipes and tips
Forget what you can’t eat. The 200 SuperFoods That Will Save Your Life gives you the healthy news about foods you should eat and enjoy, including sweet, yet healthy indulgences like tomatoes, guacamole, and semisweet chocolate chips. More than just a list of foods, this encyclopedic guide contains recipes, dietary advice and meal plans to get you to your healthiest level ever. Author Deborah Klein provides a comprehensive tour of the world’s healthiest foods, as well as tips for incorporating them into a diet. This is a one-stop resource for information on how to live healthier and longer.

Summary: How to use 200 "Superfoods" in every meal, every day and improve your health
Rating: 5

We all read those print and web articles entitled "The 8 Superfoods You Must Eat Now!" and the list varies--usually it contains broccoli, oranges, blueberries, flaxseed, fish oil, etc etc. How can you absorb all that information floating around unless you have a photographic memory? Well, this book has a list of the 200 "Superfoods" which are foods that have various health properties. It organizes them by type (carbohydrate, starchy carb, fibrous carb, fruit, oils, proteins, grains and herbal "free foods") and then provides "Livit" recipes for you to incorporate them regularly into your diet. Eating superfoods as a matter of course as the main part of your diet is the way to health as opposed to a handful of broccoli now and then on a fast food potato, to be sure.

Each food has a "how to buy" (for example, collards should be deep green with no wilt or yellowing.) Then there are facts and nutritional data. On collards, the interesting fact is that bruising or cutting the leaves and letting them sit is believed to convert inactive compounds to the health-giving isothiocyanates. This is something I did not know. The recipe is not traditional soul food "greens" (those long-cooked and delectable Southern style soupy greens.) Instead it's "Mediterranean-Style"--a chiffonade of the greens to provide tenderness as collards are TOUGH, then steamed, dressed in lemon and olive oil and garlic and served with a sunflower seed topping. I'd ditch the sunflower seed topping and add chopped olives or pine nuts, myself. So the recipe is just ok, but the food facts are fascinating here.

There are all kinds of recipes, though, including a healthy Morning Glory Muffin (I love those) and all recipes have nutritional data and calorie content. There are recipes that families will like, such as smoothies (with white tea and strawberries), Eggamuffin breakfasts with sprouted grain muffins and eggwhite or egg, burritos and things kids like.

The sample "Livit" menus are organized by daily calorie limit and there is a 1200 calorie menu and an 1800 calorie menu, so these could be used by women and men who are dieting or wish to limit their food intake.

The recipes are NOT vegan, or even vegetarian. Meats and fish are included as well as dairy products. So vegetarians won't be completely thrilled with this book, though I think it has sufficient information on superfoods to allow even a vegan to adapt most of the content of the book. The real value, in my opinion, is to let you create a way of life diet for the whole family, and even lose weight if you want, while at the same time incorporating the most nutritionally valuable foods every day. For this reason, as well as for the in-depth facts and information, I'm giving this book five stars and I really recommend it highly for just about anybody.

Publisher: Butterworth-Heinemann | PDF | 233 pages | 10,2 mb
Few people realise how many projects people actually manage. Or how many of the theoretical approaches to Project Management do not meet the test of the real world.
This intensive look at Project Management teaches people what they need to know to lead, or be a member of, a project team. Most Project Management texts deal predominantly with technical areas, leaving readers ill-prepared for the real world. Managing Projects Well looks closely at the behavioural aspects of project management and project team participation.

Managing Projects Well shows:
* What happens when your boss decides the project's schedule and budget, and you have to work backwards to make things fit
* How to communicate and present effectively within and beyond the team
* How to cope when you do all the work, and have to manage multiple projects and non-project time as well
* How to organise people for success , and develop ideal methods for team member motivation
* How to change your own bad habits quickly
* What to do when things go wrong

William Morrow | 2007 | ISBN: 0061176176 | English | 234 pages | PDF | 27.35 Mb
Detox diets are making news as the quickest, easiest way to shed pounds, boost your energy, and get yourself on a wellness track. Popular in the 1970s, cleansing fasts are again all the rage among celebrities like Gisele Bundchen, Gwyneth Paltrow, Stella McCartney, and Madonna.

One of the key advocates of the health benefits of cleansing detoxes is Roni DeLuz, ND, a licensed naturopathic and health practitioner at Martha's Vineyard Holistic Retreat, part of the renowned Martha's Vineyard Inn. The idea behind DeLuz's new detox plan is the belief that the foods we eat (along with the coffee, tea, and alcohol we drink and the air we breathe) contain harmful and toxic substances that accumulate in our bodies and need to be removed in some way. In 21 Pounds in 21 Days, DeLuz offers three different detox programs, including the original and most effective 21-day "MasterFast," which promises a 21-pound weight loss in just three weeks and focuses on detoxification through antioxidants, fasting, stress reduction, and lifestyle changes.

Also included in the book are:
Maintenance plans
* Dozens of easy, delicious recipes
* Real-life tips
* An extensive glossary of terms
* A guide to supplements

Meals consist of supplement-laden drinks, herbal teas, thick, delicious vegetable purees, and "live" juices, along with nutritional supplements, vitamins, and enzymes designed to keep the body's systems stable and its cells nourished while harmful toxins are flushed out. 21 Pounds in 21 Days isn't just for those looking to lose weight; everyone can benefit from this revolutionary detox diet that results in a clean, refreshed system that functions at its best.
