Eat, Drink, and Be Gorgeous

by Esther Blum and James Dignan

Review
Esther Blum, MS RD has put together a review of the latest findings in nutrition for women in a way that helps them to use the information realistically and enjoyably. I like the fact that for Ms. Blum, pleasure is a nutrient along with all the others: the book does not take a perfectionistic stance that throws so many off making healthy changes. There is also a section devoted to nutritional solutions to health problems that women will love. The book is written in her inimitable, sassy style, and it is one I will be recommending heartily to all the women in my nutrition practice.

Book Description
From Esther Blum, an expert nutritionist at Dr. Perricone's flagship Manhattan store, comes the breakthrough news that, yes, you can eat and drink what you love and still look and feel gorgeous. Esther reveals the secrets to beautiful skin, a fantastic figure, and peace of mind all while living the good life. It's about knowing how to make the right choices: Which cocktails cause the least damage is a Merlot better than a Margarita? What natural supplements combat out-of-control hormones? With a troubleshooting section on treating specific ailments, delicious recipes, and fast fixes, Eat, Drink, and Be Gorgeous makes it possible to have that piece of cake and eat it, too.
