Some Great Picture Books


I checked out this book at the library, because it had great illustrations. Plus my almost 5 year old daughter a lot of the time does not want to brush her hair until the last minute. She gets a bit of a rats nest in the back of her head. This book is very well told.

Change your brain,change your body: Use your brian to get and keep the body you have always wanted



I just saw this guy on The Rachel Ray show this morning. I hardly watch tv shows during the day. This book and what he talked about makes a lot of sense. He talks a lot about how we think about food. Though not everyone does the same things. That we need the right formula (diet,exercise) for the type of brain we have. For example if we have a lot of anxiety when it comes to eating. We need to be on a well balanced diet. eating 4 to 5 small meals a day. lean protein.carbs and supplements too. Taking a fish oil pill is really important. He talks about 5 different ways people think about food. If there impulsive, depressed. anxiety, ect..

In this book, Dr. Amen reveals his breakthrough approach that will allow you to harness your brain’s power to improve your body’s overall appearance and function. As his studies show, a healthy brain is the key to a better body and a better life. Your brain is the command and control center for your body, and your brain function is directly related to how your body looks, feels, and functions. If you want to lose the love handles, you have to get better frontal lobes. You want to say goodbye to all those headaches? You have to calm your brain. Turn back the clock and get rid of those wrinkles? You have to start by rejuvenating your brain.

When your brain isn’t functioning properly, that dysfunction manifests itself in your physical body. Because you can’t see your brain, however, you don’t do anything to fix the problem at its source, leading you to adopt quick fixes and temporary solutions that ultimately fail. In CHANGE YOUR BRAIN, CHANGE YOUR BODY, however, Dr. Amen takes you inside the brain to show you the ways in which you can harness its power to create the body you have always wanted. Whether you want to tighten your tummy, have younger-looking skin, boost your energy level, stop getting so many colds, or lower your blood pressure without having to take medicine, Dr. Amen’s eighteen easy-to-follow solutions will have you well on your way to success. Sample chapters include:
The Craving Solution — Use Your Brain to Increase Your Willpower and Calm the Urges That Prevent You From Achieving Your Goals
The Weight Solution — Use Your Brain to Achieve Your Optimal Weight
The Nutrition Solution — Feed Your Brain to Look and Feel Younger
The Focus and Energy Solution — Boost Your Energy to Stay on Track toward Your Goals
The Stress Solution — Relax Your Brain to Reduce Your Wrinkles and Improve Your Immune System
The Heart Solution — Use Your Brain to Strengthen and Soothe Your Heart
One size does not fit all, however, and CHANGE YOUR BRAIN, CHANGE YOUR BODY helps each individual reader navigate their brain to identify areas in need of improvement. Dr. Amen provides a customized, tailored approach to making positive changes, through treatments such as vitamin therapy, relaxation exercises, and physical activities, that will improve the way you look and feel. The brain controls everything you do: how you think, how you feel, how you act, and how you look. In order to get the body you have always wanted, your brain must work right and Dr. Amen shows you how to improve your brain’s health so you can have a better body.

In order to realize your goals in any area of life, your brain must work right and Dr. Amen shows you how to improve your brain’s health so that change can transcend into every facet of your life.

No sooner does Diane finish taping the interview, though, than a second victim disappears. The small community, already in the grip of a record heat wave, is now wracked by fear and terror -— no one knows who could be next. With only the first victim as eyewitness, Diane and the police turn to her for clues. But it may be too late to save Diane and her loved ones from the mortal danger that lurks in Ocean Grove.
