Your Brain on Food: How Chemicals Control Your Thoughts and Feelings
by Gary L. WenkWhy is eating chocolate so pleasurable? Can the function of just one small group of chemicals really determine whether you are happy or sad? Does marijuana help to improve your memory in old age? Is it really best to drink coffee if you want to wake up and be alert? Why is a drug like PCP potentially lethal? Why does drinking alcohol make you drowsy? Do cigarettes help to relieve anxiety? What should you consume if you are having trouble staying in your chair and focusing enough to get your work done? Why do treatments for the common cold make us drowsy? Can eating less food preserve your brain? What are the possible side effects of pills that claim to make you smarter? Why is it so hard to stop smoking? Why did witches once believe that they could fly? In this book, Gary Wenk demonstrates how, as a result of their effects on certain neurotransmitters concerned with behavior, everything we put into our bodies has very direct consequences for how we think, feel, and act. The chapters introduce each of the main neurotransmitters involved with behavior, discuss its role in the brain, present some background on how it is generally turned on and off, and explain ways to influence it through what we consume.
Your Cannabis Experience: A Beginner's Guide to Buying, Growing, Cooking, and Healing with Cannabis
by Sandra HinchliffeGreat experiences with cannabis start with knowledge, moderation, and mindfulness. In this book, you&’ll learn the foundation to create a great cannabis experience for yourself and your guests Most people have learned how to use alcohol and prescription drugs appropriately, but very few of us have been educated about using cannabis appropriately.

Your Child's Weight
by Ellyn SatterAs much about parenting as feeding, this latest release from renowned childhood feeding expert Ellyn Satter considers the overweight child issue in a new way. Combining scientific research with inspiring anecdotes from her decades of clinical practice, Satter challenges the conventional belief that parents must get overweight children to eat less and exercise more. In the long run, she says, making them go hungry and forcing them to be active makes children preoccupied with food, prone to overeating, turned off to activity, and likely to gain too much weight. Trust is a central theme here: children must be able to trust parents to provide as much food as they need to satisfy their appetites; parents must trust children to eat only as much as they need. Satter provides compelling evidence that, if parents do their jobs with respect to feeding, children are remarkably capable of knowing how much to eat.

Your Health Destiny: How to Unlock Your Natural Ability to Overcome Illness, Feel Better, and Live Longer
by Eva SelhubFrom a board-certified internist and lecturer in medicine at Harvard Medical School comes a scientifically proven mind-body prescription that will help you prevent disease, bounce back from illness, and manage life's ups and downs—all while achieving a greater sense of well-being, now and for the rest of your life.There's no way around it: the human body is designed to get sick. Illness is the body's way of calling attention to a bigger problem. Aches and pains—whether annoying or debilitating, acute or chronic—mean that something's out of balance. What they don't mean is that you're not in control. Because your body takes its cues from your thoughts and emotions—and not the other way around—you can take control of your health, rather than letting your health take control of you. In Your Health Destiny, Dr. Eva Selhub shows you how. After treating thousands of patients with a myriad of health problems—from heart disease and cancer to depression and anxiety—Dr. Selhub discovered that simple and easy-to-implement shifts in lifestyle, attitude, and overall approach to stress not only reduce your reliance on conventional medicine but, more important, prevent and reverse all types of disease before they can take root. Bringing together timeless Eastern practices with cutting-edge Western research, Dr. Selhub teaches you how to tap into the powerful connection between your mind and body, and, in the process, jump-start your body's built-in healing capabilities. Proactive and prescriptive, this revolutionary program puts the power of health back into your hands, now and for the rest of your life.
