The Complete Book of Vitamin and Mineral Counts
Author: Netzer T
The importance of a balanced and healthful diet cannot be overemphasized. But how can you be sure you are getting all of the nutrients your body requires? The Complete Book of Vitamin and Mineral Counts has the information you need. Find out which vitamins and minerals are in the food you eat--and what you may have to add to your diet. For example, are you trying to boost your immune system? You need zinc, and one of the best natural sources is in whole grain products like bran cereals. Worried about osteoporosis but don't like milk? Canned salmon is a good alternative to step up your calcium intake. Research has shown how important it is for pregnant women to get enough folic acid, but from where? Try spinach--which will also give you the extra dose of vitamin A your pregnancy calls for at the same time.
A new index speeds your access to specific foods and nutrients.
Plus comprehensive information on each essential vitamin and mineral--its function, best sources, RDA, and toxicity.

Total Renewal: 7 Key Steps to Resilience, Vitality, and Long-Term Health
Author: Frank Lipman
In terms of health, most of us live at 50 percent of our capacity. Total Renewal takes us the rest of the way there.
To varying degrees, we all suffer from digestive disorders, low-grade toxicity, or fluctuating blood sugar levels. While not ballooning into full-fledged diseases, these conditions limit our enjoyment of life and prefigure illnesses that loom in our future. Consisting of seven steps, Dr. Frank Lipman's Total Renewal Program is the key to reversing the unhealthy habits and poor functioning that we have slowly developed and accepted over the course of our lives. The program replaces them with new behaviors that leave us stronger, healthier, and more durable. Dr. Lipman's seven steps are:
1. Take Responsibility for Your Health and Well-Being
2. Remove Toxins and Decrease Your Total Load
3. Recognize Your Unique Diet
4. Replenish Nutrients and Balance Hormones
5. Release Tension and Relieve Stress
6. Revitalize with a Detox
7. Reconnect to Yourself, Others, and Nature

Lipman, a Manhattan-based doctor versed in both Chinese Western medicine, and co-author Gunning present a sensible seven-step program to renew health. According to Lipman, modern medicine is currently a disease-care rather than a health-care system, which treats the symptoms (often with unnecessary drugs) rather than getting to the root of the illness itself. In his 25 years as a physician, Lipman has found that a combination of Western and holistic approaches (such as acupuncture and yoga) can best serve patients who suffer from modern malaise and such problems as chronic pain, irritable bowel syndrome and acid reflux. His program involves taking responsibility for one's own health, establishing a more open, communicative relationship with a doctor, and spring-cleaning the body's system to repair damage from exposure to toxins in food and the environment. His seven steps (take responsibility for your health and well being; remove toxins and decrease your total load; recognize your unique diet; replenish nutrients and balance hormones; release tension and relieve stress; revitalize with a detox; and reconnect to yourself, others and nature) are described in distinct chapters with specific instructions on foods to eat, toxins to avoid, and ways to live more healthfully. According to Lipman, toxicity is the biggest challenge to being healthy today; his integrative approach provides practical methods for revitalizing the body and spirit.
