Summer a good time to read for your health

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

Bob Walch of the Monterey Herald makes summer reading recommendations for health, weight loss and fitness books.



Take advantage of the summer weather to reverse your lethargy, and choose a good health and fitness book to be your guide. Illustrated step-by-step workout guides, an assessment of healthy eating plans, and advice on how to avoid regaining the weight you've lost round out the guide. The tantalizing recipes in this cookbook offer meal alternatives low in calories, carbs, and/or fat while still managing to taste great. � Contents:From salads and seafood to meaty meals and desserts, 300 scrumptious, easy-to- prepare menu items to fit any occasion are listed in this readable paperback. Readily available ingredients coupled with simple preparation instructions and wide pages that stay open when you're using the book make this an unusually practical cooking guide. � For:If you are looking for a low impact workout that tones and shapes, power walking is certainly something you'll wish to look into. Other than a good pair of shoes, you don't need to invest a fortune in special clothing and equipment or enroll in a fitness center. A professor of pediatrics and the director of nutrition at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Walker shows how to apply the research-based Healthy Eating Pyramid to a child's unique needs. Beginning with infancy, the author defines what eating the right foods really means and what those foods are. Complete upper and lower body exercise routines are fully illustrated with color photos as is the author's core program. Suitable for all women, these workouts can be done at home or at a gym. Either a 3- or 5-pound set and an additional 8-pound duo will be necessary, along with ankle weights (3 lbs.), three 4-foot-long stretch bands of varying resistance and an exercise mat.
