The Food Synergy Gift Bag!

I'll admit it - I'm a gift basket maniac. I love creating designer gift baskets for friends and family. Each basket has a theme, though (it usually falls under the category of pampering yourself or inspiring romance.) You fill the baskets with the thickest, softest, most comfy socks, the best CD you can find, wonderfully scented candles...you get the picture.

But I don't stop there (I told you I am a gift basket maniac)...Given that I write books; I also like to give books packaged with food gifts. For example, for my book THE FLAX COOKBOOK, I've given the book with a pound of ground flaxseed and a cute tablespoon measure. For my book, FRY LIGHT, FRY RIGHT! I've given it with a nonstick frying pan and canola oil sprayer and Teflon spatula wrapped like a gift basket.

For my new (and favorite) book, FOOD SYNERGY, I'm going to give it in a re-usable canvas shopping bag along with 7 of the 10-synergy superfoods that are nonperishable like:

1. Nuts
2. Ground flax (comes in 1 pound bags)
3. Extra virgin olive oil (small or large bottles)
4. Canned tuna (for fish)
5. A bag of whole-wheat pasta or a small bag of whole-wheat flour or a package of whole wheat Boboli Pizza Crust (for whole grains)
6. A fun box or can of green tea (choose a fun flavor like tropical green tea or blueberry green tea or chai green tea)
7. A can or jar of fancy marinara or pizza sauce (for tomato and tomato products)

Including the 10 synergy superfoods will surely get the food synergy gift bag recipients started on the road to a higher level of health courtesy of food synergy secrets.

The whole shebang will run you about 13 dollars for the book (on an internet bookstore) + 99 cents for the re-usable canvas grocery bag + $16 for the food synergy superfoods = $30

This is a great last minute gift, especially if you need a something for someone dealing with the four chronic diseases spotlighted in my book: diabetes, cancer, stroke and heart disease.

Talking About Food Synergy

You may have read about my new book, FOOD SYNERGY, but now you can actually hear me talk about it! A podcast of a short interview just went live on HealthCastle.com (an online nutrition community run by Registered Dietitian) as well as iTunes. It will be featured for 2 weeks.

If you listen to the interview you will hear me get very excited about "Chapter 7." I call Chapter 7 the "Aha" chapter... the chapter where it all comes together in a way that I hope blows your mind (just a little). I tell people who buy the book that if they only have a couple of hours, read the introduction and go straight to Chapter 7.

Anyway, enough about chapter 7! Here is the link to the podcast: http://www.healthcastle.com/podcast-020.shtml. Have a listen.
