Louise Burke & the Australian Institute of Sport
Published by:
Text Pacific (Aust)
Since the first AIS cookbook Survival for the Fittest was published, our understanding of the importance of food and nutrition for an active and healthy lifestyle has continued to grow. A family's main interaction is often over food. But a busy life makes it challenging to eat well and be active. It can be difficult to share meals and involve your children in cooking, but it is this experience that helps them to develop healthy diets and healthy attitudes to food. This fourth cookbook is full of recipes and tips to help you make fuss-free, healthy meals for your family. Some of the AIS past and present athletes share their stories of food and family, and the Institute's activity experts share tips on incorporating activity into your family's life.

Paperback
Author:
Louise Burke
Published by:
Murdoch Books
Like its predecessor, Survival For the Fittest (published February 2000), this is more than a recipe book, it is the definitive guide to getting organised at home and cooking great meals. It is aimed not only at athletes but anyone who is interested in maintaining a healthy diet in a busy lifestyle.
A collaboration between the dieticians at the Australian Institute of Sport, the books have evolved out of the cooking classes which the Institute has been running with its athletes for ten years. Although the AIS is at the cutting edge of the science of sports nutrition, its dieticians felt that this wealth of knowledge could not be of true benefit unless the athletes themselves felt at home in the kitchen. The books acknowledge the fact that busy people - especially athletes - face many pressures including long hours, fatigue and professional commitments. The results therefore are these recipes chosen and adapted to contain ...

Patrick Holford & Jerome Burne
Published by:

Brilliantly researched and based on solid scientific trials and illuminating case histories, Food is Better Medicine than Drugs will revolutionise the way you think about your health and put you back in charge. The authors reveal how modern medicine has become distorted and is now, for reasons largely to do with profit and power, heavily dependent on prescription drugs. They look at common health problems (pain/arthritis, heart, depression, diabetes, memory, hormones, digestion, breathing, infections etc) and compare the effectiveness of nutrition-based approaches with today's potentially harmful commonly used medicines.

Paperback
Author:
Nina Planck
Published by:
Bloomsbury Press
Following the success of "Real Food," Nina Planck's "Real Food for Mother and Baby "explains why real food is better for woman and child. Nina Planck, one of the great food activists, changed the way we view old-fashioned foods like butter with her groundbreaking "Real Food," T hen she got pregnant. Never one to accept conventional wisdom blindly, Nina found the usual advice about pregnancy and baby food riddled with myths and misunderstandings. In "Real Food for Mother and Baby," Nina explains why many modern ideas about pregnancy and infant nutrition are wrongheaded and why traditional foods are best. While Nina can be controversial--her op-ed in the "New York Times "on vegan diets for infants was one of the paper's most e-mailed articles-- she's no contrarian. Readers applaud her candor; they also trust her research and welcome her advice. Nina's basic premise hasn't changed--whole foods are best--but some of the details are ...
