Summary

A revelatory collection of mouthwatering recipes and fascinating anecdotes about the singular cuisine and storied history of Portugal.   Revised and updated, this authoritative and fascinating cookbook traces the legacy of Portugal’s culinary excellence from medieval to modern times through a collection of recipes that are unforgettable, accessible, and completely authentic—all interwoven with a rich pageant of historical context. From simple and wholesome peasant fare to elaborate celebratory meals, ingredients include salt cod (bacalhau) in all its myriad variations, cumin and oranges redolent of the country’s voyaging past, and green coriander as the cuisine’s main flavoring herb.   A vibrant Mediterranean cuisine alive with a vast global influence, poet and journalist Edite Vieira brings classic and modern Portuguese recipes to the modern dining experience.

    The title of Swiss author Romy Dollé's Fruit Belly refers to abdominal bloat often accompanied by digestive distress: a common result of some basic dietary misconceptions in many fast-track, low-fat weight loss plans. With well-defined, easy-to-ingest information about how the body actually breaks down and distributes fats and nutrients, Fruit Belly provides a clear four-day quick-fix plan not only to relieve any existing abdominal distress but to help reset the metabolism and reawaken the body's natural desire for the kinds of real food it wants and needs to function at its best - while still losing unwanted pounds. 
Fruit Belly outlines the fundamental advantages of combining a primal/paleo-style diet with a well-rounded exercise routine for a balanced, nonaggressive approach to weight loss that's suitable for even the busiest modern lifestyle. The book's program provides menu guidelines for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (including between-meal snacks!), and lots of quick and tasty recipes with affordable and easily accessible ingredients. Common misconceptions about the distribution of fat and muscle weight are also addressed, and simple core-strengthening stretches and exercises that can be done almost anywhere are included. 
Moreover, the book explains in basic terms how the human body digests and distributes the nutrients in the food we eat; how our metabolism becomes quickly and chronically addicted to sugar (which includes fruit and carbohydrates); and the bio-chemical connection between mind and body that drives our sense of hunger and satiety. Fruit Belly provides a comprehensive and holistic solution to counter the crash-course weight loss approach - and puts you back on the path to a healthful and more energizing "nondiet" diet.

    Are you tired of trying (yet failing) to lose weight? Have you tried other diet plans but found them too difficult to follow? Want a no-nonsense approach to healthy eating that can help you lower your blood pressure and lose a few pounds? 
If you’ve been diagnosed with hypertension, you may be at risk for strokes and possibly heart attacks. 
You may even already suffer from symptoms of hypertension such as severe headaches, blurred vision, and fatigue. 
So, if a healthier lifestyle can help to reduce (possibly even eliminate) the symptoms of hypertension, why do we find it so hard to make that permanent switch to eating a healthy diet? 
Well, tell me if this story strikes a chord: You start a new diet, and you stick to it for a few days, maybe even a few weeks. But eventually - between the confusing food measurements and strict calorie counting - you soon let that brand-new diet fall by the wayside. 
If this story sounds all too familiar, then this audiobook, DASH Diet Weight Loss Motivation, was made just for you. 
That's because with the DASH diet plan, you - and millions of people around the world - finally have a practical dietary program that can help you manage your blood pressure and lose weight!
