THE BODY CODE: 4 Genetic Types, 4 Diet Solutions Ref: RWD223

Jay Cooper

One-size-fits-all diets and exercise programs don't work because each of us has unique genetic programming, or a Body Code, that determines our metabolism and dictates the most effective food and exercise plans for us. Your Body Code includes your anatomical type (mesomorphic, ectomorphic, endomorphic), which determines how much and what type of movement is best for you; your glandular-metabolic type (thyroidal, adrenal, pituitary, gonadal), which determines what kind of diet is best for you; and energy type (vata, pitta, kapha), which is the meeting between mind and body. Cooper translates this into four genetic types - Warrior, Nurturer, Communicator and Visionary. Each type has its own best diet and exercise plan, and Cooper describes each in detail, complete with an exercise program and suggested menus for each type. REMAINDER MARK.

CALCIUM: Nature's Versatile Mineral Ref: RFD032

Gene Spiller

It's a well-known fact that calcium plays an essential role in building and maintaining strong bones and teeth, but did you know that calcium is responsible as well for many of the metabolic functions that occur in your body -- functions that include blood clotting, muscle movement, and nerve cell communication? What's more, scientific research is beginning to uncover evidence that calcium also contributes to controlling blood pressure and offers protection against colon cancer, kidney stones, and breast cancer. Calcium may even help relieve the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. In Calcium: Nature's Versatile Mineral, Drs. Spiller and Bruce cover everything from calcium's vital role in the body as a bone builder to its lesser-known functions in metabolic activity. And since calcium doesn't work alone, the authors provide information about its team players - phosphorus, vitamin D, and magnesium, among others. Remainder mark.
