  In a world in which poor nutrition has become the norm, diet-related illnesses continue to rise. Coffee shops and fast food restaurants dot every corner, mixing up sugary drinks and frying up the cheapest bits of meat, making dietary inflammation all too easy to access. While you may have already noticed that sluggish, icky feeling after finishing your order of extra-large fries, this non-nutrient dense food is causing more than just a brief period of gastrointestinal discomfort.  
     Nutritional diseases are defined as diseases or conditions that cause illness in humans, related to deficiencies or excesses in a person's diet (1). A few examples of these conditions are:  
  ●   Obesity.  
  ●   Heart disease.  
  ●   Cancer.  
  ●   Diabetes.  
     
  Many of these conditions can cause lifelong complications, lower quality of life and a shorter lifespan if not addressed and treated.  
  But did you know that, while what you eat can cause these issues, it can also fight these very problems? In this book, we will cover what exactly constitutes a healthy diet and how you can achieve the optimum balance of nutrients to improve your health, energy levels and overall quality of life. I will teach you exactly how to activate your body's defense systems, to keep you safe from nutrition diseases and so much more; all with just food!

  Follow twenty recipes to find calm, improve self-esteem, and form daily habits—in your very own kitchen!—through mindfulness-based cooking therapy. 
  In Cooking as Therapy, licensed clinical social worker and sous therapist Debra Borden provides you with all the tools and techniques to have therapy sessions in the comfort of your own kitchen. 
  Cooking therapy is an experiential therapy that allows you to conduct a therapy session while you cook a meal. Using cooking processes like chopping, kneading, stirring, and more, you’ll develop the skills to recognize limiting patterns and behaviors, improve self-esteem, and form healthy daily habits, and you might even have fun incorporating techniques centered around 
  mindfulness—which develops calm,metaphor—which creates clarity, andmastery—which sparks self-esteem. 
   
  Luckily, you don’t have to be a great cook to try cooking therapy—or even like cooking. You only need an interest in self-exploration. Borden will teach you the processes involved in preparing a recipe or meal that trigger awareness and even “aha” moments. Unlike talk therapy, cooking therapy sessions incorporate tangible acts. It is less about what you prepare and more of a guided journey to self-reflection through how you prepare a dish.

  A “sweet indulgence for your mind, heart, and tastebuds”—now a major motion picture starring Yara Shahidi, Odessa A’zion, and Bette Midler (Molly Tarlov, MTV’s Awkward).   Meeting Mr. Right is never easy. And in a big city like Los Angeles, it’s even harder. So, after years of fruitless efforts at finding a soul mate, Audrey Shulman decided to take a different route to a man’s heart—through his sweet tooth. Whipping up a variety of sinfully delicious cakes, Audrey invaded the savage singles scene fully armed with butter, sugar, and frosting.  Sitting in Bars with Cake recounts Audrey’s year spent baking, bar-hopping, and offering slices of cake to men in the hope of finding a boyfriend (or, at the very least, a date).   With 35 inventive recipes, this charming book pairs each cake with a short essay and tongue-in-cheek lesson about picking up boys in bars.   “This delectable mix of encouragement, anecdote and cream-filling is more than enough reason to start baking and flirting.” —Winnie Holzman, creator of My So-Called Life   “This is a delightfully humble and enthralling tale about cake and bars and boys, but it’s really about life, and what it takes to get up every day and be the person you have always wanted to be.” —Tracy Moore, Jezebel

  If You Want To Receive A Sufficient Amount Of Safe Proteins And Essential Plant-Based Nutrients, Then Listen On. 
  You're probably eating plant-based foods, such as pea proteins or nuts, assuming that you're getting the full variety of proteins that your body needs, but you may not realize that you often miss the essential amino acid known as lysine and that you don't assimilate the right amount of proteins. 
  Normally, one of the first questions vegans are asked is how they get protein, because animal foods are considered by many to be the best source of protein— and some people think they are the only protein-containing foods. 
  You must be prepared in advance to ensure that adequate amounts of nutritious proteins, vitamins, iron and calciumB-12 are obtained, not as easily found in vegan diets as in omnivorous diets containing meat rich in these nutrients. 
  Nevertheless, with the best plant-based protein foods, you can eat well-balanced nutritional plans that maintain a healthy body and reduce the risk of certain illnesses. 
  The audiobook will give you a full understanding of nutrition, including how much you really need, and how to get more than enough of plant foods. Armed with the details, recipes and meal plans in this book, you'll be relaxed and safe as a vegan— and have answers to those questions. 
  The audiobook is also for vegetarians and meat eaters, since focusing more on the plant side of your plate is always a good thing, and you might be curious about how healthy your vegan friends can be without food. 
  This audiobook is a plant-based protein guide that gives you the best resources you need to help you eat healthy meatless high-protein foods and feel better about your plant-based lifestyle.

  Who doesn’t enjoy a nice, hot cup of tea? A pastime of the kings, drinking tea has always been synonymous with afternoon relaxation and great conversation. What you might not realize is that tea, besides being delicious, also has therapeutic powers. That’s right! Herbal tea, especially, has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for various ailments, and it’s making a big comeback. 
  Herbal tea is created by steeping or decocting herbs, spices, or other plant materials, as opposed to traditional tea derived from the Camellia sinensis plant. It contains no caffeine and has been a natural remedy for thousands of years, dating back to ancient cultures in China, India, and Egypt. Many herbs used back then are still used for their healing properties today. Chamomile tea, for example, has anti- inflammatory and anti-anxiety properties, whereas ginger tea is famous for aiding digestion and reducing nausea. 
  Herbal teas provide numerous health advantages! They reduce stress and anxiety, improve digestion, promote better sleep, reduce inflammation, and promote healthy skin.
