Despite having a deep affection for food throughout her childhood, Mary Purdy's definitive choice to become a dietitian came in her early thirties as her father recovered from a serious illness. When the hospital nutritionist recommended her father grab a Big Mac to regain weight, Purdy knew she'd found a field in which she could make a difference. Serving the Broccoli Gods is packed with nutritional tips wrapped around the lighthearted and humorous tale of Purdy's journey of transitioning from a gritty New York City actor to a registered dietitian. It takes the dull edge off of nutritional education in favor of a creative and uproarious perspective that will have readers laughing and learning simultaneously. Serving the Broccoli Gods is a fun read for foodies and those seeking easy-to-read diet information. In a book as entertaining as it is educational, Purdy tells how she grew from a teenager who chose apples over chips and salad over fries into a trained nutrition expert. The book includes personal anecdotes, simple recipes, and links to informational videos from Purdy's web series, Mary's Nutrition Show. It will tickle the funny bone, touch the heart, and trigger a rush to the produce aisle.

Your body is by God. God preprogrammed you to look great, have outrageous health, and experience incredible happiness. In the human body, God created a perfect design, equipped with all the organs, tissues, and cells necessary for health, production, and reproduction. The problem, asserts Dr. Ben Lerner, is when we as humans interfere with God's design for our bodies. Junk food, high-stress living, and neglecting exercise are just a few of the things we do to hinder our bodies' performance. In Body by God, Dr. Lerner offers a comprehensive plan for getting in touch with our bodies in four areas: nutrition, exercise, stress management, and time management. His "5-in-5" plan is designed to instill the good habits that will lead to optimum health benefits. Readers will learn how to get in shape with 10-minute workouts, reprogram the way they react to stress, and more. "Owner's Manual Tips" give specific ways to apply the material to real life. Our bodies are "fearfully and wonderfully made." With the help of Body by God, readers will learn how to achieve the highest level of performance from God's handiwork.
