Eat yourself better - heal your body through diet

Great books to get you started

We are all unique and probably no one book or food plan will perfectly suit you - therefore I would recommend that you take the time to read a variety of health books, and find what works for you. The health books shown here are especially important and I urge you to read some of them and change your life.

Potatoes Not ProzacPotatoes not Prozac by Kathleen DesMaisons

Have you ever wondered why you can't say no to fattening foods or alcohol? Why you overspend or overwork, feel bloated, have mood swings or depression? The answer is not that you're lazy, self-indulgent or undisciplined.

The problem lies in your body chemistry. Millions of people are sugar sensitive and the foods they turn to for comfort actually trigger feelings of exhaustion, hopelessness and low self-esteem. \par In her groundbreaking book, Kathleen DesMaisons, Ph.D., explains how certain food-dependent chemicals in the brain regulate our moods.

To maintain mental and physical health our serotonin, beta-endorphins and blood sugar levels need to be kept in balance. We can achieve this by following DesMaison's inexpensive, all-natural nutritional plan. There is no regime of measurements or self-denial: you tailor the plan to your tastes and lifestyle. More than just a book about food, this is a book about possibilities.

Totally revamped for 2008, this book is a must have for anyone who recognises the symptoms above! Try it, it works!
