Nutrition Books  

By Brad Pilon, MS

When it comes to diet and nutrition books it feels like a new book comes out every single day. Each book has it?s own special take on how we should be eating and what we should be eating.

To help you cut through all the craziness and jumbled advice, here is my list of the top ten best nutrition books.

1. ?The Biology of Human Starvation? ? Dr. Ancel Keyes - Probably the seminal work on human nutrition.

These two books (Volume 1 and 2) are absolute must-reads for anyone who is giving nutrition advice. In fact, I don't think you should ever give any sort of nutrition advice without first having read both volumes of this book and analyze and scrutinize every word.

As with all nutrition books, it is not perfect, but I find the mistakes in some of Keyes assessments to be just as valuable as his correct assessments. Truly a must read.

2. (tie) ?What to Eat? & ?Food Politics? ? Dr. Marion Nestle - If you want to truly understand the food industry, and the incredible adaptability of the human body then these two nutrition books are also must reads. Great background into the role government and lobby groups play in deciding what ends up on our dinner plates!

3. (tie) ?Food Marketing? & ?Why We Eat? - Dr. Brian Wansink - More must reads. If you are interested in why we eat, why we think we are hungry and the impact that marketing has on our diets, you must read these two books.

4. (tie) ?Omnivores Dilemma? & ?In Defense of Food? - Michael Pollan - People seem to read these two books in a way that always supports there existing view points. Regardless, they are both good reads. As with all books, they need to be analyzed, not just simply absorbed, but they are both valuable educational tools.

5. ?How to Read a Paper? - Trisha Greenhalgh ? Probably the hardest read of the top five, but If you are going to start 'reading' science papers and abstracts then you must know how to actually analyze a research paper.

The truth is analyzing a research paper can be a very difficult and time-consuming task. This nutrition book is an immense help in this regard and is an absolute must for people who blog about nutritional science. If I were running a graduate course in nutrition this and the Biology of Human Starvation would be the only two compulsory reads.

6. ?Health Food Junkies? - Steven Bratman - Probably could have been in the top 5 if I didn?t think more people need to read Trisha Greenhalph's work. This nutrition book has an amazing viewpoint on the whole health craze that will probably make you think twice about following the latest fitness guru diet craze.

7. ?The Obesity Myth? - Paul Campos - I disagree with most of this book, but it's important to know the opposite argument. If you want to read about the alternate view, that being overweight isn?t really treatable, or that being overweight isn?t necessarily unhealthy, then this is a very interesting (and challenging read).

8. ?Good Calories Bad Calories? Gary Taubes - The first 1/3 of this book is an excellent review of how lobbyist groups help to set national nutrition recommendations. While definitely well written I found the rest of this nutrition book is very slanted towards low-carb diets, and rather heavy in rhetoric and speculation.

9. ?The End of Overeating? ? Dr. David A. Kessler. An excellent review of the psychology of overeating, pointing out the similarities between drug addiction and addiction to high fat, sugar and salty foods. Kessler presents a compelling argument that many people are in fact struggling with an addiction rather than some form of nutrition or lack of exercise problem.

10. ?Eat Stop Eat? ? Brad Pilon - Mostly this is just gratuitous self promotion, but it does fit in very well with this series of readings. If you are interested in the scientific research behind the use of intermittent fasting for weight loss then you should find this book to be both up to date and accurate. Of all the nutrition books on this list, Eat Stop Eat offers the simplest solution for weight loss.

My Ratings: Teaching Children With Learning Disabilities According to the National Institute of Mental Health, nearly 4 million of children are being born or have learning disabilities. That would be about 3 % of the United States population are intellectually impaired. Teaching children with learning disabilities can be challenging and difficult for both parents and teachers. To be an effective teacher and cater to the needs of the children, teachers should be equipped with knowledge and of course, patience and the right attitude. Medical studies have figured that learning disabilities and mental impairment occurs as early as the prenatal stage. Most people think that this has something to do with the intellect but the truth is it has something to do with the brain functions. The deal with learning disabilities is that it cannot be cured, but children can be taught how to cope with it. Common learning disabilities would include dyslexia or problems in processing language, dyscalculia or mainly problems with math related subject, dysgraphia or issues with writing spelling and though organization, and dyspraxia or sensory integration disorders. There are also auditory and visual processing disorders. Another common learning disability with be the attention deficit disorder and ADHD which refers to hyperactivity. There are also children with ADD or those who are inattentive but not hyperactive. Teaching children with learning disabilities (LD) can try your patience. Teaching these kids could be easy as long as you follow or use applicable tips to your teaching style. ?In the beginning of the subject, explain the objective and goals clearly to the children. Explain clearly why it is important for them. ?Be specific. State your expectations from assignments and projects. If you are asking them a question, encourage them to share how they understood the question. This would help you deal with any misunderstandings about the instructions or questions. ?Include chapter outlines and study guides in your subject handouts. This would enable those with LD to reduce the weight of the course or subjects. ?You can use different methods to help students cope, you can break the class into several groups so they would be able to understand the information clearly and respond to lessons better. ?Make the lessons interactive and creative. ?Do not demand things that you know would be difficult for them to do, like ten-page essays. You could assign projects or homework that would involve their creativity, like including pictures in their written narrative reports. ?Too much is never a good thing. For kids with LDs, avoid giving them too much to do. They are not like other children that could accomplish things fast, they may need twice the amount of time given by regular students. ?As a teacher, you are not only responsible in making your student educationally equipped. Some students would find having learning disabilities very emotional and tend to have a very hard time. Work closely with your students with learning disabilities to help them ease the bad emotions. Teaching does not only include arming your students with basic knowledge in academics. Making sure that you are reaching to your students and children with disabilities, mentally and emotionally, will boost your student’s self-esteem and confidence. They would be able to finish the work that you gave them and at the same time retain the information what you have taught them. As a teacher, you are not only an educator. You are also a guide and a life coach.
