The Green Pregnancy Diet
[iUniverse] –The Green Pregnancy Diet provides all the tips and tools a pregnant woman needs to eat an optimal diet without the fuss: simple explanations, guidelines and recipes explain it all.
The health and environmental benefits of an organic, vegetarian diet are discussed, followed by explanations, definitions and tables of the major nutrients needed during pregnancy, with references to United States Department of Agriculture and Food and Drug Administration nutritional guidelines. A basic guide to creating a non-toxic kitchen is given, followed by more than 20 “green” recipes specialized to meet a pregnant woman’s nutritional needs and food cravings without the toxins or refined carbohydrates (“empty carbs”).
“Good nutrition is vital during pregnancy and The Green Pregnancy Diet is a great resource for pregnant women of any age and dietary preference. This book will help them make smart food and cooking choices that will benefit both mom and baby,” said Tara Gidus, RD, American Dietetic Association spokesperson and nutrition editor of The Green Pregnancy Diet.
The book is written by a seasoned editor and writer in magazine/journal publishing, and edited by a nationally-recognized dietitian, with editorial contributions by a naturopathic doctor specializing in the prevention and treatment of environmental toxicities.
The Green Pregnancy Diet is now sold in print and e-book format at: www.barnesandnoble.com, www.amazon.com, and www.iUniverse.com. It will soon be sold in wider release at more than 1,000 online booksellers and in limited bookstore locations.
