The latest book from the popular and prolific Ginsburg, who has some 30 or so Mr. Foodc cookbooks to his credit, is a follow-up to Mr. Food c's Quick & Easy Diabetic Cooking. Although he includes a list of holidays in his introductory material, the recipes are organized by courses of a meal rather than particular celebrations. However, sidebars by Ginsburg and by Nicole Johnson-Miss America 1999 and an ADA spokesperson-tie many of the dishes to specific holidays. The recipes are short and simple, as always, and each includes nutrition information and diabetic exchanges. Sure to be in demand. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.

Earth Qi Gong for Women: Awaken Your Inner Healing Power

Author: Tina Chunna Zhang

The special medical Qi Gong described in this book was developed and perfected over the course of 1,700 years by Taoists, traditional Chinese medical doctors, and Qi Gong experts in China to meet the needs of a woman’s unique anatomy. Author Tina Zhang leads readers through a variety of pleasurable postures and easy exercises that address specific areas of the body. In turn, these exercises, which work progressively to strengthen the spirit-mind-body connection, enhance natural female energy to help prevent or alleviate health issues and conditions from puberty to post-menopause, including high blood pressure, stress, fatigue, endometriosis, age-related problems, and more.

Emphasizing a balance between hormones and emotions, the book includes concise descriptions of selected acupuncture points, meridians, and orbits that promote long-range anti-aging and long-term optimal health. Women empowered by these benefits can take control of their bodies and better direct and assist their physicians in maintaining their health without the cost, risk, and side effects of pills, hormones, and supplements. Qi Gong for Women also contains useful information on addressing women’s physical and spiritual health for physicians, acupuncturists, and doctors of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
