Book: Nutrition at Your Fingertips

Filed in archive Books (and Mags) for Cooks on November 16, 2009

I don't know about you, but I swear, I have too many books in the kitchen already. Too many, I haven't even flipped though some of them in years!

But here's another one that begs to be added to the collection, just fresh hot off the press: Nutrition at Your Fingertips. What ti promises to teach:

* How to eat to beat diseases that may be preventable
* The functions of vitamins and minerals and where to get them
* The symptoms of a food allergy, intolerance and sensitivity
* How to burn more calories in less time
* How consuming more fiber can slim your waistline and how to get more of it
* Where all those extra calories in your diet lurk
* Whether you’re eating a portion or a serving
* How consuming super foods can increase weight loss
* How to indulge without going overboard
* How to balance your food and fitness choices to manage or lose weight

Penned by leading national nutritionist Elisa Zied, M.S., R.D., C.D.N., this ought to be good. If you want to start cooking healthier meals, this should be in your kitchen!
