Sure, splashy paperbacks can be fun -- and forgetful. If you?re ready for a page-turner with staying power, check out our top picks for your health:
1. What the Yuck? The Freaky and Fabulous Truth About Your Body by Roshini Raj, M.D., and Lisa Lombardi
Is your mani-padi habit contributing to your skin-cancer risk? Do body-shaping undergarments cause yeast infections? Raj addresses these and other intriguing questions in this entertaining, fact-filled tome. From the color of your poop to the miracle of 40-something motherhood, no curiosity is too taboo for the author?s refreshing brand of woman-to-woman advice.
2. The White House Doctor by Connie Mariano, M.D.
The first female head of the White House Medical Unit weaves everyday practical information -- from how to detect hypoglycemia to what to pack in a medical travel bag -- with behind-the-scenes tales from serving three presidents. Even though the promotions and prestige come at a great personal cost, Mariano?s dedication to the first family and to her country is a shining example for both working women and caretakers.
3. Confessions of a Former Cosmetic Dentist by Michael Zuk, D.D.S.
Written with humor and drawing on insider knowledge, this book is a must-read -- especially if you?re considering elective dentistry procedures to perfect your smile. A former veneer-pusher, Zuk contends that the expensive, damaging procedure (which involves adhering porcelain shells to your teeth) should be a last-resort fix. Instead, he advocates a more conservative approach to fix your smile, such as bonding or orthodontia, and gives you handy tips on how to negotiate lower fees.
4. The DASH Diet Action Plan by Marla Heller, R.D.
Backed by research from the National Institutes of Health, the DASH -- or Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension -- diet is recommended for everyone, but it can be overwhelming at first. This friendly, real-life guide will show you how to make this healthy diet work even if you hate vegetables, eat on the go a lot or crave salty foods. A monthlong meal plan and additional recipes offer a great start to heart-healthy eating for you and the whole family.
