Vitamins and minerals are the building blocks of good health. But the heavily processed foods that are so common in today's modern diet are stripped of these nutrients, leaving many people nutrient deficient despite meeting (or exceeding) their daily calorie needs. The accepted solution is to take supplements created in a lab, but the dosage and interactions can be confusing, and supplements are loosely regulated and not always foolproof, especially since our bodies are designed to receive nutrients from natural, whole foods. Eat Your Vitamins features fifty key vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients essential to your health. You will find clear definitions of each nutrient along with the role it plays in the body, how it is best consumed and absorbed, recommended daily doses, and detailed lists of foods and natural sources that contain the vitamin along with a recipe for a nutrient-rich meal. Ditch the synthetic supplements and make the right choice about how to properly feed and fuel your body.

In Seven Sundays, celebrity trainer and devoted follower of Christ Alec Penix explains the connection between faith and fitness, and shares both his own and his clients' success stories.

Seven Sundays is a six-week program that shows you how easy it is to undergo your own total transformation. The book is organized as a day-by-day journey in the same manner as a daily devotional. Over the course of each week, you will work on the "6 Pillars of Purpose" that build up this strength. You will also enjoy "Faith-Full" foods and explore a new spiritual theme each week. Ultimately, you'll undertake a meaningful journey that will finally connect your body and spirit. Seven Sundays is sure to "inspire people to become the best version of themselves, through strengthening their body, mind, and spirit" (Roma Downey, actress, producer, and New York Times bestselling author of Box of Butterflies). You'll learn to embrace the fact that you deserve to exercise, eat right, and be healthy, and recognize your body as a spiritual vessel.

One of the Food Programme's Cookbooks of the Year 2021! 'The recipes are nourishing, so full of goodness, so tasty and a joy to cook and eat, and I have cooked a lot from it.' Leyla Kazim '"Good to eat" recipes indeed, as well as lots of things which are "good to know". David wears his knowledge lightly - about the science and nutrition of food - so that the focus can remain on making the food delicious. It's all there, though, for those who want the 'why's as well as the yums...' Yotam Ottolenghi 'Revitalise your diet and feel well-fed at the same time.' Dan Lepard 'Good to Eat is full of tasty morsels of both knowledge and recipes that you and all your gut microbes will love! A fantastic book.' Tim Spector 'A great number of books have been written by Bake Off winners, and David Atherton's is one of the best.' Delicious Magazine 100 fresh, healthy pescatarian recipes 'People often think that healthy eating means restricting foods or counting calories. But for me this form of 'healthy eating' was not sustainable. Plus, it was dull. I hated cutting out the food I loved best - bread, cake, pizza, Yorkshire puddings! That realisation changed how I approached food. Food should be healthy, but so should our relationship with food. So instead of depriving myself of my favourite dishes, I found new, easy ways to make them better for me.' - David Atherton GOOD TO EAT is a book that indulges our craving for baked goods, filling foods and sustaining meals but leaves us feeling good. With a few simple tweaks - like using root veg to minimise the use of sugar or trying a plant-based alternative - you can enjoy what you love to eat while nourishing your body. Food is one of the longest relationships of our lives and what we put on the plate should be more important than what we are leaving off it. With 100 exciting new recipes from the 2019 Great British Bake Off winner GOOD TO EAT promises fresh and filling suppers, sweet treats with a healthy spin, hearty salads to pick and mix, soups and more. David will leave you eating and living well.
