    The Salt Fix: Why the Experts Got It All Wrong--and How Eating More Might Save Your Life We all know the dangers of sugar and salt: but the danger attributed to the second white crystal has more to do with getting too little of it, not too much.

    A leading cardiovascular research scientist and doctor of pharmacy overturns conventional thinking about salt and explores instead the little-understood importance of it, the health dangers of having too little, and how salt can actually help you improve sports performance, crush sugar cravings, and stave off common chronic illnesses.
       

    Too little salt in the diet can shift the body into semi-starvation mode and cause insulin resistance, and may even cause you to absorb twice as much fat for every gram you consume. Too little salt in certain populations can actually increase blood pressure, as well as resting heart rate. We need salt in order to hydrate and nourish our cells, transmit nerve signals, contract our muscles, ensure proper digestion and breathing, and maintain proper heart function.

    The Salt Fix will show how we wrongly demonized this essential micronutrient as well as explain what the current science really says about this misunderstood mineral and how to maximize its effect so you can enjoy ideal health and longevity.

    Jane and Austen Meet Jane and Austen. First there’s Jane – an impractical, starry-eyed wedding planner; if love can’t match what she’s read in a book, she doesn’t want it. And then there’s Austen – a pragmatic, logical-to-a-fault financial consultant; even if he were interested in someone, he wouldn’t know.

    The two have one thing in common: they can’t leave each other alone. Jane believes that if Austen could just experience a fairy tale romance, he would secretly love it. And Austen’s pretty sure that if one of Jane’s beloved heroes escaped from the pages of her dog-eared novels, she’d run and hide.

    Both are about to be proven right.

    When the rivals are called on to help a friend plan the biggest wedding of the year, an entire resort full of colorful wedding guests descends upon them – many sharing uncanny similarities to characters in a Jane Austen novel. It doesn’t take long before Jane gets everything she thinks she wants. After all, too much of a good thing can’t be all that bad, right?

    But when Jane’s life turns upside down, the only one she can turn to is Austen; though he’s got his own troubles of the heart… and she’s afraid that he’s enjoying them more than he should.

    Her Name in the SkyHer Name in the Sky by Kelly Quindlen

    Over 200 5-Star Reviews!

    Seventeen-year-old Hannah wants to spend her senior year of high school going to football games and Mardi Gras parties. She wants to drive along the oak-lined streets of Louisiana’s Garden District and lie on the hot sand of Florida’s beaches. She wants to spend every night making memories with her tight-knit group of friends.

    The last thing she wants is to fall in love with a girl – especially when that girl is her best friend, Baker.

    Hannah knows she should like Wally, the kind, earnest boy who asks her to prom. She should cheer on her friend Clay when he asks Baker to be his girlfriend. She should follow the rules of her conservative community – the rules that have been ingrained in her since she was a child.

    But Hannah longs to be with Baker, who cooks macaroni and cheese with Hannah late at night, who believes in the magic of books as much as Hannah does, and who challenges Hannah to be the best version of herself.

    And Baker might want to be with Hannah, too – if both girls can embrace that world-shaking, wondrous possibility.
