Get Smart: Samantha Heller's Nutrition Prescription for Boosting Brain Power and Optimizing Total Body Health
by Samantha HellerA healthy body makes for a healthy brain, and this fun, creative guide is designed to help readers have both—they can be smarter, stronger, happier, and more energetic by changing a few dietary habits. Nutritionist and frequent morning talk show guest Samantha Heller has created a life raft in a sea of confusing and contradictory nutrition and diet information. Heller's Nutrition Prescription plan considers each person’s habits, budget, and food preferences when making lifestyle recommendations. Raised on white rice and beans? Switch to brown rice instead. Can’t afford fresh Atlantic salmon? Canned salmon will do just as well. Fresh vegetables unavailable at the neighborhood bodega? Frozen are just as nutritious. Heller's unique, user-friendly approach is based on the most current scientific and medical research, while her food lists, meal plans, substitutions, and recipes are easy to follow. Heller links the benefits of good nutrition to healthy brain functioning, explaining how readers can improve memory, focus, mood, mental clarity, heart health, psychological well-being, and energy levels—all through a healthy diet and regular exercise. Get Smart will motivate and empower people of all ages to change their lives.

Get Up!: Why Your Chair Is Killing You and What You Can Do About It
by James A. LevineTake a stand against disease, depression, and obesity by ditching the sedentary lifestyle—and becoming actively happy and healthy: “Fascinating research.” —BooklistIt feels great to sink into the sofa after a long day—but spending too much time sitting down can have serious health consequences. Some studies show it can be more dangerous than smoking. But how can you combat the threat in an era of desk jobs, spread-out suburbs, and digital everything?In Get Up!, James A. Levine’s original scientific research shows how today’s chair-based world, in which we no longer use our bodies as they evolved to be used, is having negative consequences on our health, and is a leading cause of diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. In the course of recent history, humans have moved from a primarily active lifestyle to one that is largely sedentary, and this change has reshaped every facet of our lives, from social interaction to classroom design. The good news is that fixing the problem doesn’t require mountain climbing or marathon running. Levine shows how to throw off the shackles of inertia—and reverse these negative trends through simple changes in our daily lives.
