Nutrition is never more critical than during pregnancy. What you choose to put on your plate affects you and your baby’s health not just in utero but for years to come.

Backed up by the latest nutritional research, this guide debunks pregnancy food myths and uncovers a number of surprising food choices that are superfoods for expectant mothers which supply enough pregnancy vitamins.

This one-of-a-kind nutrition reference guide is also packed with helpful quick-reference charts and sidebars, highlighting healthy (but no less delicious!) substitutes for commonly craved foods like ice cream and potato chips. You’ll also discover the most up-to-date research regarding pregnancy dilemmas, such as how to get more omega-3s from fish in your diet while avoiding mercury. It’s pregnancy nutrition made easy!

Having a eleven years son makes me think about the new phase I will be going through: being the mother of an adolescence. There are already a few sign of body changes like hair and blackheads on his nose.

I am already trying to educate myself so I start looking for some book about adolescence. Here is one of those I found.

Cover of Younger Next Year

Younger Next Year: Live Strong, Fit, and Sexy – Until You’re 80 and Beyond is a book that most men will like.

Men are (almost) always obsessed with their body, their muscles, their image that’s why, sometimes when I go to a medical store I hear a man asking: “Can you recommend me the best vitamins for men? I want to get fit and lose some weight.”

So this book explains men what they can do to keep their body in shape.
Of all the anti-aging books I’ve seen, this is one of most laid back and entertaining. It’s written by two guys. Harry, the doctor, covers the science aspects of aging, while the other guy, Chris, talks about applying the info.

The book is centered around “Harry’s Rules.” These are seven rules for the reader to follow. They include such things as “Quit eating crap” or “Exercise six days a week for the rest of your life.” While they might seem to be basic pieces of information, they are sound advice and have some science behind them.

All-in-all, I found this to be a very informative and amusing book and I’d recommend it to anyone who is looking for a book on aging. The realistic key here is not to go into things thinking you’re going to STOP the aging process, rather think of SLOWING DOWN the aging process.

Spinach with Chiles

4 servings
Time: 20 minutes

A simple, flavorful preparation that can be cooked slowly or quickly, with or without liquid (see the variation).

Ingredients
2 tablespoons peanut or neutral oil, like grapeseed or corn
2 dried red chiles, or to taste
5 cloves garlic, peeled, or to taste
1 pound spinach, well washed, large stems removed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Other vegetables you can use: almost any greens, chopped, though most will take a little longer to cook.

Instructions
1. Put the oil in a large skillet or casserole over medium heat. When hot, add the chiles and garlic and cook until they sizzle, just 30 seconds or so.

2. Raise the heat to medium-high, then stir in the spinach and about 1/4 cup water (or stock). Cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts and is tender, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve hot or warm.

What do you think? Tasty right? With a recipe like this who needs to buy the best fat burner supplements? But there is more. Check the following variations.

Variations
Spinach with Chiles and Coconut Milk: Like spicy, vegan creamed spinach, nice with a teaspoon of curry powder, added with the chiles and garlic: Step 1 remains the same. In Step 2, use 1 cup coconut milk in place of the water. Cook slowly for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is very soft and tender and the liquid almost evaporated.

One of the things I regret not doing anymore is reading a book before going to sleep. Since I started being online most of my free time, I just don’t feel like grabbing a book and read. I love reading but it seems I always have something to check online.

The last book I read was Angels & Demons from Dan Brown. I remember so well because it was an excellent book, one of those we just wake up at 4 am just to read a few more pages. I love suspense and a book can give us something a book can’t: details. Now, how can we tell that a particular book will have a good story? You can read the summary of the story but sometimes it isn’t enough.

Most people like to take a sneak peak to some pages of the book to confirm if it seems an interesting book to read. If you are on of those people I have the right website for you.
