Meals That Heal for Babies and Toddlers or Dr Earl Mindells Unsafe at Any Meal

Meals That Heal for Babies and Toddlers

Author: Eileen Behan

For most childhood illnesses, rest and sound nutrition are the best medicine. When your little ones are ill, the foods you serve can alleviate their symptoms and even speed their recovery. But how do you know what to feed your ailing baby or toddler? What best soothes a sore throat, eases nausea, or relieves your baby's teething pains? Here Eileen Behan, registered dietitian, professional nutritionist, and mother of two, provides the answers. You'll discover:

• Comfort food classics like rice pudding and cinnamon toast
• Nutritious fluids and soups to soothe the symptoms of a common cold
• Easily digestible foods that can relieve an upset stomach
• Imaginative, no-sugar-added snacks for healthier teeth
• Iron-rich dishes, and foods that aid iron absorption
• High-fiber muffins, breads, dips, and desserts for regularity
• Fun foods with the right amount of cholesterol for growing bodies
• Just the right home remedies for fevers and flus
• Calming recipes for a good night's sleep

Eileen Behan explains the connection between food and common childhood illnesses from asthma to ear infections to headaches to vomiting—and gives you recipes for simple, delicious, kid-pleasing dishes that will actually help your child feel better faster.

Library Journal

Written especially for parents/care givers, this is another excellent book on the value of nutrition that will be highly useful when children are ill. Behan, a registered dietitian and mother (Cooking Well for the Unwell, LJ 5/1/96), has provided home-remedy nursing suggestions as well as recipes to use for common childhood illnesses, such as colds, nausea, ear infections, vomiting, sore throats, teething, asthma, upset stomachs, irregularity, fevers, and flus. This is an expansion of Cooking Well, which had a chapter on sick children. Included are tempting, low-cholesterol, low-sugar, low-fat, iron-rich, easily digested, high-fiber, and fun foods that will please kids and help make them well. Highly recommended for all health collections. [Index not seen.]Loraine F. Sweetland, Rebok Memorial Lib., Silver Spring, Md.

Dr. Earl Mindell's Unsafe at Any Meal: How to Avoid Hidden Toxins in Your Food

Author: Earl Mindell

The ultimate health-defense guide for eating wisely and safely

Food manufacturers rely increasingly on the use of chemicals to produce larger crops and livestock and to extend the shelf lives of products. Foods once considered safe are being tagged as potential health hazards on a regular basis. Contaminated beef, orange juice carrying salmonella--the list continues to grow. The nearly 3,000 additives being concealed in food products can cause everything from asthma and headaches to heart problems, miscarriages, cancer, and more. Dr. Earl Mindell's Unsafe at Any Meal, a bestseller in its previous edition, is the consumer's best weapon against the hidden hazards in food, drink, herbs, and medicines.

Dr. Earl Mindell, one of America's leading nutrition experts, exposes the food industry's chemical cover-ups and provides crucial information on what to look out for when shopping, cooking, and taking medications. This thoroughly revised, updated edition includes coverage of genetically modified foods as well as foods designed to provide specific health benefits.

Earl L. Mindell, R.Ph., Ph.D., has written extensively on health. A popular lecturer, he is an authority on nutrients, supplements, and natural health.

Hester Mundis is the author or coauthor of 26 books. She is a four-time Emmy nominee for outstanding achievement in writing.

T'ai Chi as a Path of Wisdom

Author: Linda Myoki Lehrhaupt

Unlike most t'ai chi books, which focus strictly on how to do the t'ai chi forms, T'ai Chi as a Path of Wisdom presents a personal, practical view of this intriguing martial art. Lehrhaupt shares illuminating stories from her own life and the lives of her students that show how t'ai chi can be a vehicle for profound self-discovery and spiritual growth. In learning to master each body posture, t'ai chi students often confront self-doubt, frustration, and the desire to compete and compare themselves to others—problems that also arise in daily life. Lehrhaupt shows how these and other obstacles provide valuable opportunities to deepen awareness and recognize the striking continuities between practice and everyday life. Each section of the book includes practical exercises designed to enhance students' understanding of t'ai chi movements, and a helpful appendix answers many frequently asked questions about t'ai chi training such as how to find a teacher and how to balance practice with family life. Full of useful insights and guidance, T'ai Chi as a Path of Wisdom will be a valuable companion for all students of this increasingly popular martial art.

Publishers Weekly

Martial artist and ordained Zen priest Linda Myoki Lehrhaupt offers T'ai Chi as a Path of Wisdom, an anecdotal description of how t'ai chi is more than just a martial art, but a way of life. The book contains some advice on technique, as well as useful exercises for readers to practice their methodology, but its core is a personal story of how the author came to understand chi as a life force. It's surprisingly well-written for a debut book. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.

Soap Water and Sex or Manual de la terapia de los pies

Soap, Water and Sex: A Lively Guide to the Benefits of Sexual Hygiene and to Coping with Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Author: Jacob Lipman

In addition to a frank discussion of the signs and symptoms of more than thirty diseases that can be associated with sexual activity - including AIDS and herpes, gonorrhea, syphilis, and many more - Soap, Water, and Sex offers explicit instructions regarding how to avoid them as well as a glossary of technical terms and an extensive bibliography to improve the odds that sexually active couples will safely navigate the minefield of modern intimacy. Despite the widespread media attention to sex, surveys have repeatedly shown that the public is quite ignorant of how to engage in a sexual life that maximizes joy and minimizes frustration, pain, and disease. In addition to offering methods for avoiding STDs, Dr. Jacob Lipman's provocative new book discusses common, often neglected areas of sexual hygiene that frequently stifle sexual pleasure. This book will help dispel many misconceptions while promoting happiness and health.
