Healthful Eating: A Cookbook For Those With Candida, Celiac Disease and Diabetes

Author: Lynette J Hall

America has become a fast society. Fast food, fast medical fixes with antibiotics and fast paced living with little to no exercise. The result is more people with Candida and Celiac disease, expanding waistlines and Diabetes on the increase.

Eating to control these diseases has been a lifetime of blandness followed by bouts of cheating for some variety and taste. No longer. This cookbook features over 200 recipes full of taste and variety that meet those dietary needs.

Gourmet cooking is a passion of Lynette Hall. She studied America's great cooks and developed dishes from soups to nuts with everything in between. Her diagnosis with Candida started the development of this book. These recipes fit a busy lifestyle, the diet restrictions and are easy to prepare, most in 30-40 minutes. Variety abounds from American favorites to ethnic cuisine and a section devoted to condiments. Create your own catsup, mayonnaise and more!

Maternal Fitness: Preparing for the Marathon of Labor

Author: Julie Tupler

Get Your Body Ready for the Marathon of Labor!

If you're newly pregnant, you're probably watching your diet carefully, getting plenty of rest, and preparing for the arrival of your new baby. You're also thinking about the big day itself and what the experience of labor will be like. Even if you're following a regular fitness program, you'll want to do everything you can to strengthen and prepare your body for the rigors of labor.

Maternal Fitness features clearly illustrated exercises that focus specifically on the muscle groups you'll use throughout labor, especially the transverse abdominals -- the stomach muscles that play a critical role during delivery. A powerful set of transverse abs can speed labor and delivery and make for a quick recovery. By learning how to strengthen your abdominals and relax your pelvic floor muscles, you'll be able to push more effectively.

While the Maternal Fitness program is designed specifically for the big moment, it also has other benefits, from minimizing backache and fatigue to giving you a welcome head start on getting back into shape after childbirth. Developed by a professional trainer who is also a registered nurse and childbirth educator, the Maternal Fitness program is safe for you and your baby and easy to do. Once learned, it can be incorporated into any workout.
