Never take orders from a cookie!
I want to spend some time on this post talking about serotonin and its impact on your hunger before starting with the Serotonin Power Diet book review. Your body is an amazing machine. But it is also a slow bloated bureaucratic machine that takes months, if not years, to bring itself back into balance.

Welcome to Small Steps to Health blog where we do not take orders from a cookie!
Normally I do not read relationship books. I have been “off the market” for the past 14 years. You must be wondering why I am doing a book review on a dating book if I have no expectation of entering the dating scene any time soon. I find the title of the book intriguing since I married for food, sex, and laundry (it is not just a male thing to want to find someone who is willing to cook and do your laundry).
This post is a book review of Will Marry for Food, Sex, and Laundry – How to Get Him and How to Keep Him by Simon Oaks. At the end of the review I will give some instructions on how you can win a copy of this book for the price of a comment. This book is a marriage manual that is not quite PC (politically correct) for our generation, but I find it highly amusing. A marriage manual is as antiquated as my love for Jane Austen books.

This post is a book review for Brush Your Teeth! and other Simple Ways to Stay Young and Healthy by Dr. David S. Ostreicher.
Focusing on the big picture items when it comes to our health, like eating organic or drinking pomegranate juice, gets headlines and attention. Sure these things help, but sometimes it is the smaller daily decisions that we do not think too much about that have the most impact on our health.

American spends at least $600 billion a year on invasive cardiovascular care. For a country with only 5% of the world’s population, we sure seem to spend more money than anyone else on our heart. Money aside, the risk involve in bypass surgery, stent placements, and coronary artery angioplasties might not be as effective as the medical community lead us to believe.
In The Great American Heart Hoax, Dr. Michael Ozner dispel the myths of why heart surgeries such as bypass surgery, stent placements, and coronary artery angioplasties do not work and how diet, exercise, and medical therapy might achieve better results for a majority of patients with heart disease.

Unless you are open to the possibility of spirits and energy healing, Walking Through Walls might be a little too bizarre for Main Street. Fortunately, my Chinese background (think Joy Luck Club) with its various ancestral spirits opens me to the possibility of phenomenon that science cannot explain.
My usually genre for reading material are personal finance, health/fitness, science fiction, and historical fiction. Rarely do I pick up a memoir, but I was intrigued with the idea of a psychic healer. Walking Through Walls is Philip Smith’s memoir on growing up with a father (Lews Smith) who was an all-knowing psychic healer.

This post is a book review of The Smart Woman’s Guide to Midlife & Beyond by Janet Horn, MD and Robin H. Miller, MD. This book offers a chapter on common health issues faced by women after the age of 50. The health issues range from your brain to your uterus.
To me acupuncture and herbal supplements are as “normal” to me as the prescribed medications my doctor gives me. I always view alternative medicine and herbal supplements as another revenue I can discuss with my doctor when traditional medicine fail to give me an answer. Of course, traditional medical advice are not neglected either in this book……
