Bodyfoods
for Busy People By Jane Clarke We all know we
should take the time to eat healthier, but all too often life gets in the way.
In this book nutritionist and cook Jane Clarke tackles the problem head on with
practical tips, advice and recipes that you can put into practice every day to
make your life (and your family's) healthier and more vibrant. The
book starts with ten easy steps to make your life healthier, followed by practical
strategies and easy to make recipes to help put those steps into practice. Clarke
will also teach you how to eat out at restaurants and stay healthy and even turn
your home into a spa for a 48 hour mini-rejeuvenation. There
are over 100 simple to prepare delicious recipes that will take you through every
part of the day (and even give you snacks for when you're on the move). Best of
all, I liked the chapters on treating conditions, complaints and illness with
proper nutrition. Included are treatments for: beating headaches and migraines;
coping with jet lag and hangovers; tackling sleep problems and deficiency; coping
with chronic fatigue; combating colds, flu, and sinusitis; improving skin complaints
and delaying aging; dealing with IBS and digestive disorders; coping with premenstrual
syndrome; improving fertility and conception; nurturing your body through pregnancy;
correcting hormonal and thyroid imbalances; boosting weight loss and avoiding
weight gain; controlling high and low blood pressure; attacking high cholesterol
levels; stress busters. Click

| HEALTHY KITCHEN TIPS |
- Bill Muir from Michigan writes: "I
have two sets of measuring cups and could never seem to find any of them. I solved
the problem by putting all the cups together in a one-gallon zip lock freezer
bag. Works great."
- Dan from Franmingham, MA suggests: " Place
a damp paper towel under your cutting board to keep it from moving."
- Diana
from San Francisco writes: "When I wash vegetables (especially leafy spinach
or Swiss chard) or fruit, I fill the kitchen sink with cold water and add baking
soda. I move the vegetables around in the water and then let them soak for about
3 minutes. Then rinse. This procedure has all the dirt sink to the bottom, then
rinse again and all is ready to use. Fruit will look much brighter. "
- Dee
from British Columbia, Canada writes: "To keep white potatoes white, add
a bit of white vinegar to the cooking water. It can't be tasted."
- Danielle
from Sydney, Australia says: " Before squeezing the juice out of a lemon,
roll it on the bench first then cut it in half and then squeeze it , this makes
all the juice come out faster."
