Food has such a unique connection for every one of us.
You might be someone who eats with reckless abandonment,
drive-thru after drive-thru, knowing that one day it will catch up but for the
meanwhile you ignore the guilt.
Mostly.
Or…
You might be someone who follows the latest diet book craze,
always seeking a way to lose weight, feel great or stay young. In fact, you may have done this so long
that perhaps you feel like you’ve forgotten exactly how to eat.
Or…
You know that eating the right foods will improve your
life. You are always on the
lookout for learning more about eating well, living well, and staying in shape.
About a month ago I put an image on the sidebar of my blog that
looks like this.
Have you seen it?
What is the Food Cures site?
Basically, it is a information website that will give you
answers on how to treat common health concerns and teach you how to “use food
as nature’s medicine – without giving up your favorite meals and snacks.”
Who is Joy Bauer?
She is the nutrition expert for the Today show and yahoo.com,
and monthly weight-loss columnist for SELF magazine. You may have seen her on TV or read her books.
Why do I have an image in my
sidebar?
Joy’s team contacted me about a month ago and asked if I would
be interested in reviewing her Food Cures book and corresponding cookbook, Simple and Scrumptious. After I checked
out her site, I said yes… AND… I asked if they would be willing to provide the same
to you in the form of a giveaway.
They said yes!
Interested in hearing about the
giveaway?
Patience. Patience. Keep reading…
What is the Food Cures book about?
It includes easy-to-follow food prescriptions for treating
common ailments like arthritis and IBS; reducing cholesterol and blood
pressure; improving your skin and hair; managing chronic conditions like
diabetes, osteoporosis, celiac, migraines, PMS – and more!
For example, when I read it, it kick-started me back to what I
already knew but had gotten away from: “keep your pantry and refrigerator
stocked with healthy foods.” Joy
provides a list of the ultimate in healthy foods, lean protein, foods that
count towards healthy fats, and high-quality starchy carbs.
See? I wrote out my
Food Cures list on my pantry door to guide me along the way!

I would love to win a copy of the book so I can work on my weight loss goal, and as a Celiac I'm always looking for information on helping my diet... and the thought of finding new foods I can eat makes me super happy.
