| Foods, Vitamins and Herbs that help to treat and prevent health problems from Alzheimer's to Diabetes to Heart Disease and Cancer Natural Healing Foods verifies, with extensive clinical research, that the old ways work. Not only do they work as well as drugs in many cases, but unlike drugs, the side effects, if any, are minimal. There are many books on the subject of food and healing, but I have found them to be cumbersome to read especially when you want an answer immediately. Although this book has been extensively researched, I have intentionally made Natural Healing Foods as user-friendly as possible so that when you need information, you can quickly find an answer. The first section is an alphabetical listing of the Foods, the second section is the Herbs and Spices and the last section covers the Health Problems - an easy reference without having to wade through paragraph after paragraph for an answer. |

| The Simple Vegan Recipes cookbook is packed with the quick, easy, practical recipes from this site that you love - as well as other recipes you won’t find here.
Vegans eat all sorts of plant foods - fruit, vegetables, nuts, grains, seeds, fungi - and avoid foods made from dead or living animals - meat, eggs, milk, milk derivatives such as cheese and yogurt, or honey. Someone who has not encountered veganism before will ask, ‘Well, what DO you eat?’ The only non-animal foods a meat-eater tends to come across are the vegetables that accompany their meals. However, there is a wide variety of vegan foods with a diversity of flavours and textures. The important point to grasp is that going vegan is not just taking vegetarianism a step further. Going vegetarian tends to involve simply removing meat from the diet and abstaining from products that contain slaughterhouse products. Becoming a vegan, on the other hand, is a very different process where one adopts a whole new cuisine and which touches every area of life. |

| If you've ever wanted to feel fantastic, look gorgeous and sparkle with vitality, you've come to the right place. My goal in writing The Hip Chick's Guide to Macrobiotics was to empower hip chicks like you to experience delicious, sexy, radiant health. Whole foods, cooked certain ways, will strengthen every cell of your body. And where your body goes, so go your heart, mind and spirit. I believe to be hip is not about the clothes you wear, or the parties you attend (although I love that stuff). I believe that true hipness comes from a deep desire to be totally free, ridiculously alive, and pathetically endorphin-addled. The highest degree of hip comes from the ability to go into the kitchen and come out a stronger, saner, more beautiful person. You have MUCH more power than you know. It's time to get hip to it. |

“Just as a large tree begins with a tiny seed, we begin with a small step. The transition centers on the kitchen, but ripples out into lifestyle. Imagine a neighborhood plagued by a gang of vandals who have no respect for residents or property. What a relief when the gang no longer comes around. When no longer threatened, the neighbors clean up their streets and houses, pick up litter and haul away the trash. Once the debris has been cleared, they begin to beautify the neighborhood by whitewashing fences, painting over graffiti, planting flowers and restoring buildings. This analogy reflects the process that often takes place when the body is no longer being overwhelmed with toxins, and starts to detox from transitioning to a plant-based diet.” |
