Secrets of the Superhuman Food Pyramid, Part 1: Herbs, Spices and Sweeteners
Summary
Do you feel that becoming the best you can be is more than difficult? That you are held back from achieving your best by frustrating issues like body fat, sore joints, irritated bowels, and brain fog? Interestingly, a consistent pattern in food pyramids around the world puts cereals, grains, bread, pasta, and other starchy carbohydrates at the base of the food pyramid diet. And good fats from healthy sources are at the top as a "use sparingly" category. This is exactly opposite of what a well-balanced diet should be. This model has been proven to lead to a myriad of health problems such as: Excessive weight gain Risk of heart disease due to high cholesterol levels Higher blood sugars leading to diabetes and other related diseases Brain fog and much, much more... Ben Greenfield's new Superhuman Food Pyramid addresses all the above issues in depth according to his personal nutritional philosophies that he has expressed many times in consultations, blog posts, podcasts and talks around the world. In the first of this series, Part 1: Herbs, Spices and Sweeteners, you will learn: A full spectrum of choices from "Eat" to "Moderate" to "Avoid" in each food group. The minimum servings of fruits and sweeteners that will keep your blood sugar balanced. Which herbs, spices, and sweeteners are the best choices to supplement your diet. Which ones you may use with moderation and... The ones to absolutely avoid, and why they are toxic to your health.

How Children Succeed
Summary
Why do some children succeed while others fail? The story we usually tell about childhood and success is the one about intelligence: Success comes to those who score highest on tests, from preschool admissions to SATs. But in How Children Succeed, Paul Tough argues that the qualities that matter most have more to do with character: skills like perseverance, curiosity, conscientiousness, optimism, and self-control. How Children Succeed introduces us to a new generation of researchers and educators who, for the first time, are using the tools of science to peel back the mysteries of character. Through their stories - and the stories of the children they are trying to help - Tough traces the links between childhood stress and life success. He uncovers the surprising ways in which parents do - and do not - prepare their children for adulthood. And he provides us with new insights into how to help children growing up in poverty. Early adversity, scientists have come to understand, can not only affect the conditions of children’s lives, it can alter the physical development of their brains as well. But now educators and doctors around the country are using that knowledge to develop innovative interventions that allow children to overcome the constraints of poverty. And with the help of these new strategies, as Tough’s extraordinary reporting makes clear, children who grow up in the most painful circumstances can go on to achieve amazing things. This provocative and profoundly hopeful book has the potential to change how we raise our children, how we run our schools, and how we construct our social safety net. It will not only inspire and engage listeners, it will also change our understanding of childhood itself.
