For mom and nutritional coach Iva Young, it has been her priorityand goal to educate women everywhere on the importance of healthy eating andshares her own experiences and the knowledge she has gained along the way inher debut book. <\/p>\n<p>Young writes casually, making herwriting simple to understand. Her book begins by covering a few essentialtopics ranging from BMI and the digestive system to carbs and the food pyramid.Once the reader is fitted with some general knowledge, Young\u2019s Meal Plans areintroduced. These Meal Plans provide well-defined guidelines for everyone\u2014notjust women, but children and men, too (although men are never actuallymentioned)\u2014based on a daily caloric diet.<\/p>\n<p>Numbers are assigned to portion values for easier tracking in herinteractive charts, but can be a bit confusing at first. By reviewing therecipes in the back, which have portion values assigned to them, the portionsbecome much clearer and even fun to use.  One of my personal favorites is the Beef and BroccoliStir-Fry; simple to make, it\u2019s delicious and filling and provides one of theleast \u201cexchanges\u201d per serving of all the more complex meals (lunch and dinnerusually tend to be more complex). <\/p>\n<p>Overall, I give the book 3\u00bd starsfor being easy to read and understand and a fun interactive tool for thinkingconsciously about everyday food choices. For women who are interested in the topic and not sure where to start,this book would make a great start. \n<\/p>\n<p><i>Healthy Mom<\/i> doesn\u2019t go intovery much detail of the many concepts it covers, usually not more technicalthan definitions, so if you are looking for a more detailed understanding, thismay not be the place go. \n<\/p>\n<p>As forthe system Young creates, I would recommend <i>HealthyMom<\/i> for the recipes she has created.The system can be a bit confusing trying to understand what portions fitinto the scale she creates, so it is almost essential to reference her recipesin the back but once you get a sense for the scale she uses, her Meal Planrecipes are really tasty and fun to make.  From simple oatmeal breakfasts and mac\u2019n\u2019cheese to lime-grilledmahi mahi steaks and salsas, Young covers a wide range of food choices thateveryone is bound to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.suite101.com\/3258782_com_healthy_mom_book_cover.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>For More Updates, follow us on &nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/home.php?sk=group_122822574405511\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"outline: medium none;\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cms.nagalandpost.com\/newsimages\/PhotosCollection\/BKDWMJOIYQWKXUNDBKXF.png\" alt=\"Facebook\" style=\"border: medium none;\" \/><\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;and &nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/?q=nagaland+post#%21\/nagalandpost90\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"outline: medium none;\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cms.nagalandpost.com\/newsimages\/PhotosCollection\/TWASKRLZSYMZWPFZERZS.png\" alt=\"Twitter\" style=\"border: medium none;\" \/><\/a><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For mothers and women alike, Healthy Mom: SimpleKnowledge About Nutrition That Every Mom Should Know, explores thevalue and benefits of nutritional balance amongst busy lives and hecticschedules.
