THE REAL VITAMIN & MINERAL BOOK Ref: RFD937

Shari Lieberman & Nancy Bruning

Covering every nutrient, from vitamin A to zinc, this guide explains how and why each nutrient works, its functions and uses, deficiency syndromes, food sources, supplements, and toxicity and adverse effects. Introductory chapters discuss the rationale for taking supplements. While implementing the latest research, the authors expertly cut through the confusing fads and hype surrounding exotic (and less essential) nutrients to help people decide which vitamins and minerals are necessary in their diets, and the appropriate dosage. Lieberman and Bruning show how the essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients can strengthen the immune system, fight illness, slow aging, and maximize health.

STOP YOUR CRAVINGS: A Balanced Approach to Burning Fat, Increasing Energy, & Reducing Stress Ref: RFD945

Jennifer Workman

A dietician and founder of Balanced Approach, a nutritional consulting company, Workman advocates Ayurveda, an ancient Indian health system that offers a holistic approach to eating and health maintenance. Central to this system is good digestion. The trick to good digestion is understanding one's constitutional type (there are three, characterized by certain eating, sleeping and exercise habits) and eating accordingly. Foods are divided into six tastes and six qualities, and Workman shows how one can find a constitutionally appropriate food to satisfy any craving. "Broccoli isn't necessarily good for everyone and chocolate isn't necessarily bad," as long as balance and moderation prevail. Workman also recommends stress-relieving techniques to break the binge cycle, advocates Yoga over more punishing exercise, and exhorts readers to listen to their "natural intuitions."

WATER CRYSTALS Ref: REA494

Andreas Schulz

The quality of our water, especially our drinking water, is becoming an increasingly important issue. In this book, Andreas Schulz uses a ground-breaking photographic process to make the quality of different types of water instantly visible to the non-specialist. Through his crystal pictures, he demonstrates that water from different locations, treated in different ways, has substantially different characteristics. Mountain spring water has a different quality from water found in a metropolitan system, or in an old well, for example. Water is affected by whether it flows freely, or is channelled through straight pipes. Using water samples from many parts of the world, this remarkable and beautiful book provides a unique insight into the world of water, its life cycles, its nature and structures.
