Review of Chakra Foods for Optimum Health: A Guide to the Foods That Can Improve Your Energy, Inspire Creative Changes, Open Your Heart, and Heal Body, Mind, and Spirit (Paperback)

Until I read this book, I never thought about the HOW of eating, only the WHAT.Deanna points to the equal importance and the studies behind who we're eating with and how the meal takes place.For example, she cites a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine from Drs. Christakis and Fowler. They demonstrated that patterns of body weight gain were directly connected to our social networks.What does that mean? The greater the connection an individual has with obese friends and family (even if miles apart), the larger the influence on he or she developing obesity.If you're emotionally close with overweight people, there is also a higher chance of you becoming obese. As a mom, this makes me thing about being in great shape for my kid's healthy future and my own too!This is only one of many amazing insights and studies presented in Chakra Foods.It will have you thinking about food in a whole new way, an empowering way.

Product Description
Nutritionist and yoga practitioner Deanna Minich's Chakra Foods provides information on how to heal emotional and physical woes through making the right food choices. The material for this book developed out of the author's highly successful "Nutrition for the Soul" classes, workshops, and private counseling sessions. Not a diet book, it looks at both the nutritional and spiritual aspects of the foods we eat and how they can heal us. For example, someone feeling stuck in their lives could turn to chapter 5 and find a list of orange foods -- apricots, carrots, salmon, pumpkin, oranges -- to help their sacral chakra. For each chakra, specific affirmations and other practices are also offered, as are meal plans and recipes. Helpful lists, charts, and diagrams help readers easily pinpoint and diagnose themselves and the various prescriptive options are all very clearly explained. With lots of useful sidebars, this book really is a treasure trove of energy medicine in the form of food -- truly food for the body, mind, and soul!



* Looks at the energetics of what and how we eat and how to rebalance through healthier choices.

* Easy to implement and stick with plan.

Review of The Super Antioxidant Diet and Nutrition Guide: A Health Plan for the Body, Mind, and Spirit (Paperback)

My husband and I tried the eating and exercise from this book.We not only shed pounds quickly, we feel healthier than ever--less pain and allergies.Blood tests before and after showed reduced inflamation, lower triglycerides, huge increase in red blood cells and infection fighting T-cells.I finally feel like I'm cooking in a healthy way.Dr. Couey has the science behind it and Robin's recipes and hints on buying and cooking healthy really help me transition to a lifestyle I think we can keep.A nice sidelight is that this helped my lifetime reflux and constipation.

I gave my first copy to a friend and referring my friends.Now I'm ordering another one.
