Purchase options and add-ons

A healthy body makes for a healthy brain, and this fun, creative guide is designed to help readers have both―they can be smarter, stronger, happier, and more energetic by changing a few dietary habits. Nutritionist and frequent morning talk show guest Samantha Heller has created a life raft in a sea of confusing and contradictory nutrition and diet information.

Heller's Nutrition Prescription plan considers each person’s habits, budget, and food preferences when making lifestyle recommendations. Raised on white rice and beans? Switch to brown rice instead. Can’t afford fresh Atlantic salmon? Canned salmon will do just as well. Fresh vegetables unavailable at the neighborhood bodega? Frozen are just as nutritious. Heller's unique, user-friendly approach is based on the most current scientific and medical research, while her food lists, meal plans, substitutions, and recipes are easy to follow.

Heller links the benefits of good nutrition to healthy brain functioning, explaining how readers can improve memory, focus, mood, mental clarity, heart health, psychological well-being, and energy levels―all through a healthy diet and regular exercise.

Get Smart will motivate and empower people of all ages to change their lives.

A wonderful, witty, and extrordinarily sensible book despite the fact that there isn't even ONE Maxwell Smart or shoe-phone joke! Ms. Heller must be applauded for her restraint! You must buy 2 copies. One for the kitchen and one to carry with you whenever you leave home. It will be like having a guardian angel on your shoulder to keep you on the straight and narrow whenever you eat out. Even if you only use half the tips you'll be smarter than you were yesterday. If you use all the tips you'll live to see the 2nd Ave. Subway. Now that's a LONG time!

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2010
If you're looking for a fun, easy way to learn how to boost your memory, improve your brain power,and generally live a healthier, longer life, this is the book for you! It takes all those complicated antioxidant-free-radical-carbo-loading- high-fat-inflammatory gobbly gook terms you've been hearing so much about and finally explains them all in a way that makes sense! So you not only come away knowing what to eat to feel better, but you also come away with a better understanding of nutrition in general, making what you read in other books and magazines make a whole lot more sense as well! Plus - the program is easy to follow, everything is backed up by published medical studies, AND if that were not enough, the recipes are DELISH - with brain boosting dishes from some of the top nutritionists like Devin Alexander and Missy Chase Lapine!

Samantha Heller has achieved something no other nutritionist has: She's given us a book that is warm, funny, personal and personable, and yet packed with life saving health information. She has indeed made Chemistry Fun! Buy it now - or read a few excerpts at [...]. Either way - you will love this book!
