Superfoods: How to make them work for you, by Julie Neville

This beautifully illustrated, full colour book is a great resource for anyone who wants to include more superfoods into their life, with a great healthy recipe to accompany every superfood mentioned. You get full explanations of the nutritional contents of the different superfoods, their health benefits, and how they can help to ward off disease. You might feel a little overwhelmed by the sheer number of superfoods, but it's good news, because it draws attention to the excellent nutritional profiles of many ordinary, every day fruits and vegetables, which you can easily incorporate into a healthy diet and reap the benefits.

How to Overcome Eating Disorders - Breaking Free for a Better Life, by Louise V Taylor

This new book, written to help people (and families) understand and overcome eating disorders, is interesting, not least because it's written by someone who's had an eating disorder herself - both anorexia and bulimia - who went on to study psychology and nutrition. So it comes with insight from a former sufferer, and there's a shed load of the very latest science and treatment options, helping people to consider which approach to treatment and recovery may be most effective for them.

Behind Closed Doors by B A Paris

Usually I blog about non-fiction health and psychology titles, but because this novel is about abuse, it piqued my curiosity and fits the theme. I found the start of the book quite intriguing and recognised the fear of doing anything wrong. My dad was a tyrant and could be utterly unreasonable. So the whole 'walking on eggshells' introduction seemed very true to life. Mum was terrified of doing anything wrong - like failing to have a hot dinner ready when he got home. The outward appearance of charm and civility among friends, only for the perpetrator to turn nasty behind closed doors, rang very true.

Internal Health The Key To Eternal Youth & Vitality by Ron Gellatley ND

I really enjoyed this book. It's packed with useful information and I did pick up a couple of things I didn't already know, despite being very widely read on this topic. The book stresses important stuff repeatedly, is very accessible and easy to understand, and it covers just about every possible bowel complaint.

I decided to try slippery elm bark with ground linseed after reading this book and found the combination very beneficial.

An Introduction to The Lightning Process by Phil Parker

I bought this book thinking it would explain the steps people follow through The Lightning Process, enabling me to do it at home. I was disappointed to find it was actually a promotional tool, trying to enrol readers onto the author's courses. In my local area they cost £725+ to attend.

In a nutshell, The Lightning Process uses a mix of tools including hypnosis, NLP, and positive thinking to rewire the brain and enable the body to heal itself.
