The (Good) Food Solution


Book Description

Get to know your body by discovering how good food can be! God gave you one physical body so you can live, move, and breathe, and He gave you a vital resource to fuel it––food. But because of damaging diet culture and pervasive body-shaming messages, it can be hard to have a relaxing, enjoyable relationship with food. Nutritionist Meredyth Fletcher believes that your perspective on food is directly impacted by your view of God, and in The (Good) Food Solution, she will help you shift any distorted perceptions on food to see it as a gift from God to nourish your body, rather than a burden. This journey isn’t about trying the next fad diet or seeking a quick fix—it’s about finding the right balance for you. Drawing from personal stories and current research, Meredyth provides the tools you need to: take an in-depth look at your emotions to uncover why you hold on to negative narratives about food; learn scientifically based and biblically sound mind-body tools to forever change how you approach your health and faith; discover how heaving a healthy gut is the secret to attaining the God-given nutritional benefits of the food you eat and see real results! God gave you a good body, and it’s up to you to give it what it needs. With Meredyth as your trustworthy guide, The (Good) Food Solution offers a shame-free invitation to bring Jesus into your most vulnerable places, take back your health, and experience food and body freedom for good.

Nanotechnology-Based Industrial Applications of Ionic Liquids


Book Description

Numerous solvents used in chemical processes have poisonous and unsafe properties that pose significant ecological concerns ranging from atmospheric emissions to the contamination of water effluents. To combat these ecological threats, over the course of the past two decades, the field of green chemistry has grown to develop more natural reaction processes and techniques involving the use of nonconventional solvents to diminish waste solvent production and thus decrease negative impact on the environment. Ionic liquids in particular are more environmentally friendly substitutes to conventional solvents, and as such, have seen more widespread use in the past decade. They have been used in such processes as extraction, separation, purification of organic, inorganic, and bioinorganic compounds, reaction media in biochemical and chemical catalysis, green organic and drug synthesis, among other industrial applications. Thus, in proving themselves a suitable greener media for economic viability in chemical processes, ionic liquids are leading to more sustainable development. This edition explores the application of ionic liquids as a green solvent. It contains a state-of-the-art overview on ionic liquids as green solvents for chemical processes and techniques, as well as some of their useful industrial applications.
