Book Recommendations II

Two more books to add to your list:
1. Spent: End Exhaustion and Feel Great Again by Dr. Frank Lipman
2. In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto by Michael Pollan

Spent addresses the tired/worn out feeling we sometimes (or often) have. It teaches you about things you can do to recharge as well as why certain foods or activities can help you feel better or worse. It includes a six-week plan to sort of reset you body. The plan is by no means incredibly easy to stick to, but the author acknowledges that and encourages you to do what is feasible. Even if you decide not to try out the 42 days of activities and food choices, I'd still recommend reading through each of the days; you may still find suggestions to incorporate into you life. A lot of them helped me feel better.

Meanwhile In Defense of Food provides a historical overview of the American diet, the rise of processed foods, and why it's a good idea to eat some plants.
