Book recommendations
greyhoundgirl:
Not sure if this is the correct spot for this but thought it would be good to get a thread going.
Two books I've read recently that are both excellent are The Mood Cure and The Diet Cure by Julia Ross. They make so much sense scientifically and go into the chemical reasons why people get depressed or anxious (The Mood Cure) or have trouble losing and maintaining weight (The Diet Cure). There is a lot of overlap between the two areas so I read the books concurrently. To oversimplify it just a bit, we wind up short of certain amino acids that our bodies need to make all the neurotransmitters that keep us feeling well and not craving foods. This can be due to a lack of protein in the diet or stress in life (which increases our need for certain ones), tramatic events, substance abuse, and so on. Probably for many of us it's just the diet or stress part. Vegetables also contain some of these amino acids (and protein) but on a much lower scale, plus even organically-farmed ones tend to be much lower in them than they used to (containing half or less of what they should) due to farming and fertilizing methods. (I just read another book specifically on the subject of how to grow veggies and fruits to have their full nutritional potential...fascinating!) So we have a widespread nutritional shortage but it IS fixable, and quite simply, if you just know what you are needing. Both these books have detailed questionnaires to help determine that, plus recommendations for what to eat to help out as well.
Anyway, sorry to be so long but these are a GREAT read if you want to understand more about this subject and how to fix it nutritionally.

It was this one. I got it when it was free for kindle so you might want to watch for that again. Honestly, the second part seems like a lot of inferring that you should use her consulting business to help you figure out what you need to put into your garden but there is a LOT of excellent info in the book, regardless. http://www.amazon.com/Organic-Growing-Maximum-Nutrition-ebook/dp/B00DYFHTN4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1380053336&sr=8-1&keywords=jana+bogs

Catherine
This sounds along the lines of something I need to be reading right now. Any idea if I could get it in book form? I am probably the only person on here that does not own a Kindle.
greyhoundgirl:
You could just use the free Kindle for PC app and read it on your computer.
