Quick & Healthy Recipes and Ideas: For people who say they don't have time to cook healthy meals, 3rd Edition

This book has really helped me to learn to cook quick and healthy meals. For those with diabetes, it lists food exchanges and ingredient modifications to allow us to work within common restrictions. I specifically liked the practical and down-to-Earth recipes. I found the recipes less esoteric and fussy than in the most popular cookbooks written for people with diabetes. Generally, most recipes feature ingredients that one is likely to have on hand. It compares favorably with many cookbooks in this regard. Suggestions for incorporating recipes into balanced meals were also helpful. This is a great turn-your-health-around book that can help you stay away from drive-thru windows for all time if are prepared to give it a fair chance.

Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy: The Harvard Medical School Guide to Healthy Eating

Aimed at nothing less than totally restructuring the diets of Americans, Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy may well accomplish its goal. Dr. Walter C. Willett gets off to a roaring start by totally dismantling one of the largest icons in health today: the USDA Food Pyramid that we all learn in elementary school. He blames many of the pyramid's recommendations--6 to 11 servings of carbohydrates, all fats used sparingly--for much of the current wave of obesity. At first this may read differently than any diet book, but Willett also makes a crucial, rarely mentioned point about this icon: "The thing to keep in mind about the USDA Pyramid is that it comes from the Department of Agriculture, the agency responsible for promoting American agriculture, not from the agencies established to monitor and protect our health." It's no wonder that dairy products and American-grown grains such as wheat and corn figure so prominently in the USDA's recommendations.
Willett's own simple pyramid has several benefits over the traditional format. His information is up-to-date, and you won't find recommendations that come from special-interest groups. His ideas are nothing radical--if we eat more vegetables and complex carbohydrates (no, potatoes are not complex), emphasize healthy fats, and enjoy small amounts of a tremendous variety of food, we will be healthier. You'll find some surprises as well, such as doubts about the overall benefits of soy (unless you're willing to eat a pound and a half of tofu a day), and that nuts, with their "good" fat content, are a terrific snack. Relying on research rather than anecdotes, this is a solidly written nutritional guide that will show you the real story behind how food is digested, from the glycemic index for carbs to the wisdom of adding a multivitamin to your diet. Willett combines research with matter-of-fact language and a no-nonsense tone that turns academic studies into easily understandable suggestions for living. --Jill Lightner --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Healthy fast food takeout in Surulere, list calories count of meals on its menu

The average life expectancy of Nigerians is 47 years (Source: World Bank, World Development Indicator) compared with the Japanese, who have the highest average life expectancy of 83 years. So what are the Japanese doing that we are not? What are their health secrets? The difference is in eating and drinking healthy. Recent news from BBC, February, 2010 indicates that maintaining a healthy lifestyle could add another seven years to our life. There are many factors that affect our health. Some we cannot control, such as our genetic makeup or age, however, we can help reduce our risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke and other serious diseases by eating healthy.
Healthy Wok is all about healthy eating; It's the alternative to unhealthy fast food. It is an innovative concept that targets a new style of dinning, which is healthy and fast. Created by owners Ademola Ajibola, a medical doctor and Modupe Ajibola, an alternative health enthusiast and IT Consultant, healthy wok was borne out of the desire to change the way Nigerians eat, (by creating a healthy option of fast food) and to increase nutritional awareness.
Healthy Wok is tucked away in Surulere, Lagos, off Ogunlana Drive. It's unapologetic in its décor and feel, making it a good handout. Its clientele are diverse, attracting a mix of people, who are attracted by the buzz of the place, for it definitely has a lot going on. It offers a different fast food experience to the standard expectation. For instance the health benefit of drinks sold (which excludes soft drinks) are listed on the menu. What is notably different is that the takeout offers low calories menu, and it's the first dinning hangout in Nigeria to list the calories count of meals on its menu, which is perfect for healthy conscious clients. The food is cooked in a wok (Chinese pot) right before your eyes, so you can witness the chefs in action sizzling your meats and vegetables in your favourite sauce, this dramatic element, adds to the ambience.
The Menu
Healthy wok's tagline is fresh, healthy and delicious. Food is cooked by stir-frying, a Chinese cooking technique called chao, a small amount of oil is used at high temperature to quickly sear or steam the food. Vegetables and pieces of meat, chicken, pork, fish, seafood, used in this technique retains less oil making it a reasonably healthy way to prepare food and reduce cholesterol.
The food though healthy is far from bland, the menu is constantly innovated, each dish combination bursting with it's own unique flavour and clients are creating their own meal, with their choice of ingredients , and sauces to suit various taste.
Be adventurous and try a wide variety of combination of food so as to appreciate the full diversity and creativity that the menu has to offer, food is prepared to order with orders coming from direct walk- in, the telephone or Online.

Cooking Light Complete Cookbook: A Fresh New Way to Cook (Book & CD-ROM)

I'm used to cooking rich, fattening foods that make you gain weight by just looking at it. My husband is a testimate to that. I had a coming to Jesus talk with God because I feared he was going to die on me and he is only 43. He had gained 40 lbs.

Anyway, I have always thought light cooking is tasteless cooking. I couldn't be more wrong. My husband has lost 12 lbs in 3 weeks. He loves everything I cook from this cookbook.

I haven't tried too many other books. Being new to healthy cooking I figured I'd start here. I'm buying one for my sister and my mother because these recipes are easy and tasty.

Neuroma Surgery Or Less Risky Treatment? By R. MacKenzie

Neuroma Surgery: What is Morton's Neuroma?
Morton's Neuroma is a common foot problem where a nerve becomes inflamed and swollen. This pain is usually located between the bones at the ball of the foot and happens around the 3rd and 4th toes. It occurs due to compression of the nerve due to abnormal foot mechanics or forcing your foot into the compressed area of your shoe.

When Is Neuroma Surgery Required?
Initial treatment for Morton's Neuroma is to look for a shoe with a high and wide toe area and use orthotic arch supports designed with a metatarsal pad or neuroma pad placed behind the ball-of-the-foot to reduce pressure by spreading the metatarsal bones apart. If these treatments do not provide the necessary relief surgery may be required.  Less invasive treatments like foot orthotics or arch supports offer much less risk and should always be considered before jumping to injections or surgical treatment.
There are two common approaches to neuroma surgery:

Neuroma Surgery: Dorsal Approach
Neuroma surgery using the dorsal (top of the foot) approach involves making an incision on the top of the foot. Instruments are maneuvered through the tiny structures of the foot and the surgeon cuts a ligament called the deep transverse metatarsal ligament. This is the ligament that causes most of the nerve compression. Many people prefer this neuroma surgery as it allows them to walk sooner after the surgery because the incision is not on the weight-bearing side of the foot. However, it presents more opportunity for complications than the second option.

Neuroma Surgery: Plantar Approach
The second neuroma surgery takes on a plantar (sole of foot) approach. In this procedure the incision is made on the bottom of the foot. The same job is completed, however, the neuroma can be reached more readily and cut with less chance of harming other structures. The patient will require crutches for approximately 3 weeks and walking can be very uncomfortable.

Complications in Neuroma Surgery
The area your surgeon is working in during neuroma surgery contains very small nerves, muscles and blood vessels allowing complications to occur. After the neuroma is removed, a painful hematoma could occur if the empty space fills with blood. Infection is a risk for any surgery. If the incision site becomes warm or red or if you have a fever, you must notify your surgeon immediately.
Another possible side effect is recurrence. If underlying problems with shoe fit and foot alignment are not corrected, the neuroma is likely to re-occur. The best way to prevent this is to avoid high heels and narrow toed shoes and use orthotic arch supports to take care of foot alignment problems so you will not have to go through neuroma surgery again in the future.

The EatingWell Healthy in a Hurry Cookbook: 150 Delicious Recipes for Simple, Everyday Suppers in 45 Minutes or Less

This collection of fast and flavorful dinner dishes lives up to its title, sharing entrees that can be prepared in 45 minutes or less, culled from EatingWell's "Healthy in a Hurry" column.

Whole foods, fresh herbs, low-fat dairy, "good" fats (olive and canola oils) and a few carefully selected frozen and canned goods are the kinds of ingredients called for, and a solid introduction tells readers how to stock the pantry, refrigerator and freezer, as well as plan menus. A chapter on sides gives ideas for preparing salads, grains and vegetables, including a piece on "how to cook 20 veggies" five simple ways each. With an index that sorts meals into "Healthy Weight," "30 Minutes or Less" and "Family Friendly" categories, and frequent full-color photographs, this book is not only easy to cook from but a pleasure to use.

HARMONY FARMS Healthy & Holistic Adult Dog Food

My doggie really likes Newman's Organic better than some other dog foods pet and big-box stores sell. My budget doesn't like Newman's Organic as much as Harmony Farms. It's the compromise that keeps the doggie AND my budget happy. Because he eats it heartily, I don't worry that he's getting enough high quality food. Otherwise he won't eat his food and he'll graze in the trash seeking egg shells and bones to fill the void.

There's no barfing, digestion problems or accidents. High Quality food means good digestion, a shiny coat, high energy, bright eyes and a good attitude WITHOUT tons of additional elixers, treats or vet bills. A definite cost effective WIN:WIN for doggie AND me.

I've had great results with Newman's Dog Food that I orderd through Amazon BUT there's 5 pounds LESS for about the same price.

Psst I'm not an organic fanatic, it's the nutritional value that counts for my fur baby and human kids!

Healthiest Meals on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What Meals to Eat and Why

Review
Bowden, Jonny with Jeannette Bessinger. The Healthiest Meals on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What Meals You Should Eat and Why. Fair Winds: Quayside. Jul. 2008. c.368p. photogs. index. ISBN 978-1-59233-318-9. pap. $24.95. COOKERY
Verdict:
Unfortunately, the recipes do not include nutritional values, but most people will find the book an interesting and different approach to healthy cooking. Recommended for most culinary collections.
Background:
Nutritionist Bowden (The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth) is again exploring health y nutrition. The emphasis is on polymeal options, which are composed of ingredients that enhance heart and blood vessel health. Readers will find the work organized in an unusual way, with the first ten chapters arranged around a polymeal menu, usually made up of four dishes. Each chapter is lavishly illustrated with additional information about key ingredients and includes a pantry list as well as suggestions for menu substitutions based on recipes from other chapters. A typical menu includes Calf Liver with Green Onions, Sweet Beets and Greens, Veggie Slaw with Flax Oil, and Almond Butter Apricot Cookies. Bowden focuses on developing a high-nutrition polymeal that minimizes the use of sugar and simple starches (such as white flour or white potatoes). Other chapters focus on one pot polymeals (such as Slow Cooker Chicken Curry or Quinoa Risotto with White Beans, Arugula and Parmesan) and beverages.
