Book Description
This book is a lively exploration of the amazing revelation known to Mormons as the “Word of Wisdom.” It counsels us how and what we should eat to reach our highest potential, both physically and spiritually. New and surprising insights are presented through the perspective of what has been proven to be the healthiest human diet, a way of eating supported both by history and by science: a whole food, plant-based (WFPB) diet. WFPB vegetarian diets have been scientifically proven to both prevent and cure chronic disease, help you achieve your maximum physical potential, and make it easy to reach and maintain your ideal weight. In this book, you’ll find the stories of dozens of people who are enjoying the blessings of following a Word of Wisdom diet, and you’ll get concrete advice on how to get started! You will discover: What we should and should not eat to enjoy maximum physical health. How food is intimately connected to our spiritual well being. Why Latter-day Saints are succumbing to the same chronic diseases as the rest of the population, despite not smoking, drinking, or doing drugs. How the Word of Wisdom was designed specifically for our day. How you can receive the “hidden treasures” and other blessings promised in the Word of Wisdom. Why eating the foods God has ordained for our use is better not just for our bodies, but for the animals and for the earth. You may think you know what the Word of Wisdom says, but you’ll be amazed at what you have missed. Learn why Mormons all over the world are “waking up” to the Word of Wisdom!

Book Description
A range of natural earth materials, like arsenic or fluoride, have long been linked to significant human health effects. Improved understanding of the pervasive and complex interactions between earth materials and human health will require creative collaborations between earth scientists and public health professionals. At the request of the National Science Foundation, U.S. Geological Survey, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration, this National Research Council book assesses the current state of knowledge at the interface between the earth sciences and public health disciplines. The book identifies high-priority areas for collaborative research, including understanding the transport and bioavailability of potentially hazardous earth materials, using risk-based scenarios to mitigate the public health effects of natural hazards under current and future climate regimes, and understanding the health risks that result from disturbance of earth systems. Geospatial information - geological maps for earth scientists and epidemiological data for public health professionals - is identified as one of the essential integrative tools that is fundamental to the activities of both communities. The book also calls for increased data sharing between agencies to promote interdisciplinary research without compromising privacy.

Book Description
Break unhealthy food habits with these practical steps that combat the mental and emotional factors keeping us hooked, unhappy, and overweight. Our relationship with food extends far beyond survival. It incorporates aspects of physiology, emotions, thought patterns, and how we feel about ourselves—all influenced by a culture that turns food into a source of compulsion and guilt. Despite our best efforts, many of us remain hooked to unhealthy food habits—habits that keep us overweight and unhappy. In Unhooked, Laura Dawn sheds light on the food struggle from six essential perspectives: environmental, physiological, behavioral, mental, emotional, and spiritual. And she provides concrete steps you can take to free yourself from your personal food traps—whether it’s chronic overeating, incessant cravings, food addiction, yo-yo dieting, disordered eating, or the inability to eat certain foods in moderation. These steps empower us to shift our perspective on food, fueling our transformation to vibrant health and reminding us that we are all worthy of living the healthy lives of our dreams.

Book Description
The book is inspired by messages I have received from the spiritual realms about how it all began, why we are here and how we can connect to our own light within.I hope to bring you the reader comfort and hope. The book explains that we can have both creation and evolution together; we are evolving towards God and one day earth will become the first realm of the heavenly realms. The book explains how we are instruments of light and that we also carry some negativity, so that through our life journey we can help God transform this negativity into light. The first part of the book is an overview of how it all began and why we are here. As the book continues I explore spirituality through religion, forgiveness, love and what happens to us when we pass away. The book is positive in its approach and I hope to bring a new way of looking at things to help bring clarity to the reader. I hope you enjoy reading this book and that it will help you to make sense of the way things are in the world.
