Annemarie Colbin
In Food and Our Bones, Annemarie Colbin shows that conventional treatments like estrogen therapy, calcium supplements, and prescription medications are not the answer to osteoporosis. In fact, many of us already get all the calcium we need, but offset its effects by our intake of other foods that deplete it from our system. Instead, Annemarie Colbin describes nature's own process of bone regeneration and shows how you can improve bone health through the kinds of foods you eat, as well as a program of bone-strengthening activity. Rounding out her holistic approach, the author discusses the emotional effects of aging, especially for women, and shows how strong relationships and spiritual networks can enhance your overall health.

Jan & Inge Dries
Food Combining is an excellent way to improve digestion and achieve your ideal weight. Food Combining looks at the five different food groups - protein, starch, sugar, fat and acid and shows you how to create meals which benefit your health and well-being rather than being detrimental. Although food is composed of a number of substances," say authors Inge and Jan Dries. "Only five main nutrients are recognized in food combining. The dominant nutrient out of the five in each food governs the whole digestive process: food combining shows you how to be sure that there is only one dominant nutrient in the whole meal. This avoids nutrients fighting one another, which upsets the digestive process, triggering problems such as indigestion or worse." With plenty of recipes, The Food Combining Bible is an excellent guide to the art of food combining.
