Self-Care in the City: 100 Ways to Optimize Your Nutrition, Fitness & Wellness in an Urban Environment


Book Description

If there's one thing Carrie Bradshaw didn't master in her beautiful Manhattan life it's self-care. Like most of us, she rushed around from thing to thing, drank a few too many cocktails, smoked cigarettes, and dealt with the stress that came along with a career she loved and social calendar she loved more. Little did she know that a few simple changes to her daily habits could drastically improve everything from her mood to her sleep to her ability to manage ups and downs of life - from lost jobs to lost relationships. Thanks to Self-Care in the City, the busiest of urban people now have their very own handbook for learning how to bring a healthy dose of self-care into their busy, fast-paced lives. No longer will you need to play the guessing-game of . . . how to squeeze a workout into a busy week or what dish to choose at a business dinner or how to relieve stress without reaching for a glass of wine. Instead you have over 100 ways to address the common dilemmas of their everyday life, including: - Way #1 Rethink Brunch: How to approach a fabulous weekend meal without overdoing it. - Way #7 Tier Your Seamless: Method for making healthy-ish options your go-to when you're exhausted. - Way #16 Drinking on Dates: Tips to navigate every blind date without drowning yourself in cocktails. - Way #66 Quick Workouts for Biz Trips: How to keep up your workout routine no matter where you travel. - Way #81 Noise at Night: Solutions for reducing stimulation and getting a great night's sleep. - Way #82 Surviving the Subway: Insider secrets to stress-less on your daily commute.

As you begin embracing these practices, you'll find that you have the power rise above the routines that diminish your beauty and focus, and fall in love with the wellness strategies that will not only make you feel unstoppable, but will also give you an edge. NUTRITION Efficient ways to upgrade your grocery shopping, order healthier takeout, sneak in more veggies, navigate social functions, order like a boss and fuel your continued success at home, at work and when you're on-the-go.

This book empowers you to improve your sleep, manage your stress, create your own silence, and personalize your self-care, while still having a fabulous social life!

Fit Cities


Book Description

Dr. Karen K. Lee is a force for good around the world, working behind the scenes to help people improve their diets, get in shape, and live longer. In the arena of public health, this Canadian woman is an international superstar. In the early 2000s, she went to the US to join a team of "health detectives" for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Smoking was in decline, and so the US CDC's attention had turned to the next biggest causes of premature death: over-eating and under-exercising. Dr. Lee's zeal in seeking out the root causes--in schools, restaurants, and environments that encourage a sedentary, calorie-packed way of life--was matched by her inspired approach to finding solutions. She was next recruited by the City of New York, where she was instrumental in introducing Active Design, an initiative for creating opportunities for healthy living in everyday life that has helped reverse childhood obesity and lengthen life expectancies. Her influence has since spread around the world. Dr. Lee has always known that health education, public service announcements, and our individual struggles are not enough. The world around us needs to change to support us in taking steps (literally and figuratively) to save our own lives. Working with civic leaders, city planners, and architects, she has been a pioneer in addressing today's leading health problems, such as obesity, heart disease, strokes, cancers, and diabetes. Fit Cities is a riveting memoir of that work--the story of how Dr. Lee and her many teams of brilliant collaborators uncovered, and set about eradicating, the causes of a pandemic of unhealthy living. And every step of the way, it offers invaluable advice on how we can all help ourselves to live healthier lives.

An Epicurious Best Cookbook for Spring • “Healthier Together focuses on real whole foods and bringing community together.”—Kelly LeVeque, celebrity nutritionist and bestselling author of Body Love Food writer and health blogger Liz Moody once followed trendy diets and ate solely for fuel, not for flavor.

She not only fell in love with food again, but she also discovered that setting goals and sticking to them is easier and more gratifying when paired with someone else.
