Weekend Reading

I’ve been meaning to add links on the blog to some of the stuff I read during the week. I am going to start the habit right now with the articles currently open in my browser. For future weekend posts, though, I will post a compiled list of links I save throughout the week.

So, for now, here is what I read today; next time, you’ll get  a little broader taste of the week.

Womb Wound - Lauren, a friend on my Primal Parent Facebook Page, sent me this. I love it and know readers here will too. The author explains what menstruation is and why it can sometimes be heavy. Oh, and what to do to prevent it.

Nestle CEO: Water Is Not A Human Right, Should Be Privatized - A friend I work with posted this one for me on my personal page.

Primal Moms: Number One Bestseller in Pregnancy/Exercise and Fitness

Primal Moms Bestseller
One week on the shelves and Primal Moms Look Good Naked is at the NUMBER ONE position in pregnancy/exercise and fitness.

This is quite an honor (for now – rankings change constantly) but, you know, I couldn’t have done it without you all. I worked hard doing the research for this book and I spent a year sacrificing sleep to write at night and take care of Evy and work my job during the day. My family certainly helped make it happen, but you were instrumental too! So many of you asked me to write a book on Paleo pregnancy since I was one of the few at the time with the experience. It was the support of readers here that made it happen. I thank you for it.

Roasted Lemon Chicken

I just finished a pretty awesome piece for the August/September edition of Paleo Magazine. Of course, by August you’ll probably forget all about it, so I’ll remind you then, but I’m giving you a heads up now because this chicken is yummy.

The article is about the National School Lunch Program. School lunches in the US are pretty frightful. If you don’t know much about them, I encourage you to educate yourself at least by clicking a few of these links here.

12 Ways to Strengthen the Immune System Naturally

The modern world is toxic. Particle pollution is a health hazard in many of the country’s large cities. Our water supply is polluted with fluoride, chlorine, drug residues, and hundreds of other unregulated chemicals. Typical American food is polluted with chemicals and modified ingredients. And we absorb pollutants in over-the-counter and prescription meds, vaccines, cosmetics, vinyl backpacks and jackets, dyes, containers, and so on.  Most of us touch, eat, and breath toxins all day, every day.

With so much exposure to toxins it seems like our immune systems must be hopelessly overburdened. Indeed, if we don’t make a point to avoid some of these toxins, our immune systems will be overburdened.

Paleo Indulgences Giveaway

The random winner of the The Paleo Slow Cooker is Genevieve.

Congratulations Genevieve!

You’ve heard of this one before and have probably drooled over it a little. Tammy did an amazing job putting Paleo Indulgences one together. It covers just about every sinful sweet your heart desires. But the book isn’t just about Paleo look-a-likes. Just about everything decadent is in here so that includes Sweet Potato Biscuits, Fruit Jerky, Bloody Mary Mix, Onion Rings, Chicken and Dumplings. I could go on and on with all the amazing recipes in this book. The last section is called Restaurant Recreations. There is a lot of good stuff in there!
