Eat, Drink, and
be Gorgeous by
Esther Blum, ms, rd, cdn, cns
From Esther Blum,
an expert nutritionist at Dr.
Perricone's flagship Manhattan
store, comes the breakthrough news
that, yes, you can eat and drink
what you love and still look and
feel gorgeous. Esther reveals the
secrets to beautiful skin, a
fantastic figure, and peace of mind
all while living the good life. It's
about knowing how to make the right
choices: Which cocktails cause the
least damage is a Merlot better than
a Margarita? What natural
supplements combat out-of-control
hormones? With a troubleshooting
section on treating specific
ailments, delicious recipes, and
fast fixes, Eat, Drink, and Be
Gorgeous makes it possible to
have that piece of cake and eat it,
too.
Reviews:
It's quite possible to have your cake
and eat it too, argues
dietitian-nutritionist Blum in this
bubbly, vivacious approach to living
well the healthy way. Avoiding dietary
absolutes and encouraging readers to
make gradual changes in their eating
habits rather than drastic ones (which
are often hard to keep up), Blum's
sensible guide is sure to resonate with
young women. She makes compelling
arguments for choosing organic
foods-going so far as to list the top 12
most contaminated fruits and
vegetables-and extols the virtues of
grass-fed meat and dairy. An informative
chapter detailing alcohol's specific
effects on women (including calorie
counts for a long list of beers and
cocktails) enable readers to make the
most of their nights out without paying
for it later. Troubleshooting
suggestions offer relief from the
symptoms of everything from hangovers
and herpes to smoking cessation and
premenstrual discomfort. Rounded out
with chapters on dietary supplements and
depression, as well as a Q&A for
frequently asked queries-"What kind of
prepared foods (i.e., frozen dinners)
are actually good for me?"-Blum's
guidebook complete guide to women's
health is an encouraging, smart and
sisterly volume that deserves a place
alongside other trusted go-to resources.
