Chakra Foods for Optimum Health: A Guide to the Foods That Can Improve Your Energy, Inspire Creative Changes, Open Your Heart, and Heal Body, Mind, and Spirit

"Chakra Foods for Optimum Health is a "roll up your sleeve" self help book. Describing in detail, techniques that Dr. Minich has used successfully to assist her patients in rebalancing their chakra centers, overcome obstacles to health, regain energy, creativity, and find new meaning in their lives. Her Chakra questionnaire is a tremendous asset assisting you in pinpointing areas of dysfunction and imbalance. She expertly takes you through each of the seven chakra centers discussing in detail food and eating healing plans, simple affirmations that make a big difference, imaginative activities you can easily do to help rebalance your chakras, and a specific eating plan to support energy flow through each chakra. At the end of the book are countless tasty recipes to help you enjoy healthy variations of familiar foods and explore new flavors and sensations. - Jacob Kornberg, MD, FACS

"Chakra Foods is loaded with wisdom, joy, and practicality. Reading through this book provided me with many 'ah ha!' experiences. Chakra Foods is full of unusual and uplifting insights that one can apply to their life instantly." -Christiane Northrup, MD, author of The Secret Pleasures of Menopause and Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom

Product Description

Nutritionist and yoga practitioner Deanna Minich's Chakra Foods provides information on how to heal emotional and physical woes through making the right food choices. The material for this book developed out of the author's highly successful "Nutrition for the Soul" classes, workshops, and private counseling sessions. Not a diet book, it looks at both the nutritional and spiritual aspects of the foods we eat and how they can heal us. For example, someone feeling stuck in their lives could turn to chapter 5 and find a list of orange foods -- apricots, carrots, salmon, pumpkin, oranges -- to help their sacral chakra. For each chakra, specific affirmations and other practices are also offered, as are meal plans and recipes. Helpful lists, charts, and diagrams help readers easily pinpoint and diagnose themselves and the various prescriptive options are all very clearly explained. With lots of useful sidebars, this book really is a treasure trove of energy medicine in the form of food -- truly food for the body, mind, and soul!

Risotto: Over 100 delicious 'little rice' recipes

Risotto: Over 100 delicious 'little rice' recipes


100 delicious 'little rice' recipes book is the one to have in your kitchen if you are an adventurer. This over 100 delicious 'little rice' recipes book can keep you busy for a year. It will teach you how to make a great risotto (not an easy task). There are resotti for every taste, from side dish to main dish to desert.

Risotto--that creamy rice dish from the north of Italy--is one of the world's perfect foods: rich yet digestible, soft yet chewy. When made with traditional Italian ingredients, it's heavenly. Yet Stacey and Hawkins (Steam Cuisine and Classic Vegetarian Recipes, respectively) feel the need to tamper with perfection by making all kinds of unorthodox risottos. Oriental Vegetable Risotto probably tastes fine, but why not make fried rice instead? And the flavors in Persian Lamb Risotto would probably go better with pilaf. The list of international partners goes on: Risotto Coq au Vin, Thai Coconut Risotto and Colcannon Risotto. Several recipes fail to take advantage of one of risotto's strong points--that it provides a one-dish meal--by instructing readers to cook an item separately and simply set it on the risotto once cooked; this is the case with White Fish Wraps with Mustard Risotto, and Risotto with Coriander Meatballs. Introductory information about risotto techniques is satisfactory, and there are some nontraditional winners here, including a brilliant Risotto Rosso featuring beets, a savory Rabbit Risotto with Mustard and Prunes and a chocolate-orange dessert risotto made by incorporating simmering milk rather than broth.

Foods That Help You Sleep Well At Night

Foods That Help You Sleep Well At Night - There are some foods that help you sleep well and avoid foods to help you sleep healthy.
If you have trouble sleeping, try these simple changes in your eating habits:
  • Eat a small snack several hours before bedtime. Hunger pangs can wake you up, so don't go to sleep hungry. Choose a small, healthy snack, such as a small bowl of oatmeal or cereal with low-fat milk, or yogurt with granola sprinkled on top.
  • Avoid large, high-fat meals before bed. A light snack is fine, but eating too much late in the evening can interfere with sleep.
  • Avoid heavy, spicy foods, especially if you're prone to heartburn. Eating too much may cause you to feel physically uncomfortable when lying down.
  • Don't drink too much liquid. Drinking lots of fluids before bed can cause you to wake up repeatedly to use the bathroom.
  • Avoid caffeine. A stimulant, caffeine increases the activity of your nervous system, which makes falling asleep more difficult. Avoid caffeinated beverages eight hours before your desired bedtime. Your body doesn't store caffeine, but it does take many hours for it to eliminate the stimulant and its effects.
  • Avoid alcohol. Although it may initially make you feel sleepy, alcohol prevents deeper stages of sleep and often causes you to awaken in the middle of the night.
