Zone Diet and 40-30-30

Barry Sears started it, but many cooks, philosophers and pundits have followed with their ideas on how to do it. Here is the original plus some other gems!

Cookbooks, Cooking Instructions and Food Science

It is not enough to just follow recipes, although you will find some real PRIZES HERE! Even the top food manufacturing establishments will run into problems with cakes that fall, crusts that crumble, vegetables that veg, and meats that taste like they could still moo. The more you know about the SCIENCE of cooking, the more you will know WHY some recipes work and why some WON'T, long before you drag out the bowl and measuring cups. These are the tools of the kitchen trade. Great reading even if you don't cook! Dazzle them with your KNOWLEDGE!

Women's Issues

Raging Hormones. PMS. Menopause. Childbirth. Breast Cancer. Codependancy. Caring for Aging Parent's. It is not just issues FOR women, but is is issues that affect women directly and those around them indirectly. Here is a great collection of reccomended reading by the women who frequent Karen's Kitchen.

Exercise

Exercise--ya gotta do it. From lumbering along in the woods to running a marathon. From picking up a baby and the groceries to picking up barbells, the more willing a person is to incorporate a reasonable amount of aerobic exercise and weight training into their lives, the greater the health benefits they will find along with eating right. There are many styles, many regimes, but you have to find one that YOU will use. Here is a good place to start looking!

Gifts and FUN!

Here is where we play! Cookie Cutters by Karen is my other company, and I was thrilled to have my little business chosen to be included in the new book "It's Just What I Always Wanted!" by Chiquita Woodard. I was THRILLED to have my business showcased when she appeared on the TODAY Show 11/30/98! Find her great gift resource book here along with other fun things folks tell me about. Find out that the "perfect gift" is something OTHER than a BOX OF CHOCOLATES!

Maybe you are just ALLERGIC to that...

Maybe it is constant sneezing or headaches, maybe it is lethargy after eating certain foods, any way you look at those problems, you might find you will feel much better if you eliminate those foods simply because you have a sensitivity of allergy to them. Read more about allergies and how to deal with them--even if you are not sure that you HAVE one!

Natural Approaches to Health and Healing

This is no "woo-woo" collection of questionable healing therapies. The Zone Diet(tm) has to be at the top of the list as far as using a simple lifestyle change to improve your health, but little "things" still come up. Here is where you find out about fine tuning your health based on natural intervention in the way you care for yourself. Vitamin and mineral guides will be found here as well.
