Self-Help Health
Whether
you're expecting or already parenting a child, you still
have a chance
to offer them the gift of a healthy, disease-free
life. In Growing Up Healthy, Joan Lunden, one of America's most trusted journalists and
most visible
working moms, teams up with Dr. Myron Winick, a leading
expert in
childhood nutrition, to produce a guide that contains the
lifesaving
knowledge we all need to shield our children from disease
and help them
grow into strong, fit adults. Based on groundbreaking
research
that shows the link between childhood nutrition and "adult
diseases" --
including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity,
osteoporosis, and
cancer -- Growing Up Healthy will teach you: - how to choose foods that will boost
your children's brainpower, fuel their growing bodies, and
shield them against disease
- which
foods influence our children's bodies during the years in
which their
cells are forming,and their organs and tissues are
developing
- why growing children should not
adhere to low-fat or low-carb diets
- how to
create healthy life-long eating patterns that help prevent
the onset of chronic illness
...and
more. From first foods to fast foods, this comprehensive
plan for
childhood nutrition goes far beyond the basics to invite us
all to give
our children the gift of a life infused with good health and
vitality.
