Nonfiction Short Review Extravaganza #1: Cookbooks, Coloring, Healing, Languages 
By Julie Sara Porter 
Bookworm Reviews 

I thought that I would show off my most recent projects. I have joined or been asked to join various book review sites for pay. Mostly, I review short Nonfiction books, post the reviews and that's it. Reviews are also shared on Amazon.



The Anti-inflammatory Diet for Diabetics by Evelyn Sophia Harper 

For Read & Review

The Anti-inflammatory Diet for Diabetics is an excellent book that provides recipes for readers with diabetes to lower their inflammatory foods rate. 

The introduction describes which anti-inflammatory foods are preferred like leafy greens and fatty fish and which to avoid like added sugars and processed meat. The book also includes tips on structuring meals for blood sugar stability such as the balanced plate method for diabetics of 50% non-starchy vegetables, 25% lean protein, and 25% healthy fat low glycemic carbs. 

The recipes include Tumeric and Cinnamon Chia Pudding for Breakfast, Lentil Soup with Garlic and Cumin for Lunch, Mediterranean Baked Eggplant and Tomatoes for Dinner, and Dark Chocolate Dipped Strawberries for Snacks. 

The Anti-Inflammatory Diet for Diabetics is a great book to help people plan, prepare, and eat delicious meals that will give them good health and make dining a pleasant experience. 


 

DMSO Healing Protocols by Alexander Reid

For Read & Review 

The book DMSO Healing Protocols is a great guide on how to use this sulfur based component for therapeutic and healing properties. 

The book explains what DMSO is and the benefits for its use like for pain relief and as an Anti-inflammatory agent. It addresses myths and misconceptions like that DMSO is illegal and unregulated. In fact it is frequently recommended for joint pain, arthritis, and inflammation and is carefully monitored.

The most interesting parts are the case studies of people who tried DMSO and how it worked. Examples include Daniel who used DMSO in magnesium oil and daily stretching for his sciatica pain in his lower back legs. He experienced a reduction in his nerve pain within ten days.

The DMSO Healing Protocols provides good and helpful assistance for those who are ill or in great pain and need a path to holistic wellness. 



Easy Italian Phrases Book for Beginners Next Level Publishing 

For Read & Review

If readers are planning on visiting or working in Italy or any country where Italian is the dominant language, they might want to take the Easy Italian Phrases Book for Beginners. 

The book goes from how to pronounce letters and sounds, to translating important words and phrases, and continues with suggestions on how to begin small conversations and dialogue. Readers will learn that a is pronounced like in “Father.” They will learn phrases like “Grazie” which means “Thank you.”

The phrases are arranged by context and topic. For example, asking how much a ticket costs for public transportation is “Quanto costa un biglietto?” Readers will also learn many of the hand gestures which are a part of Italian culture such as the “I don’t care” gesture which involves bruising the underside of your chin with the back of your fingers. 

Yes, even swear words and expressions are described in the book.”What the heck” is “Ma che cuvalo.” “Piove sul bagnato,” it rains on the wet, means,”bad things often happen to the same people.”

Besides learning how to speak words and phrases, the book offers some points about Italian culture and what one can expect. This is particularly highlighted in the chapter about workplace etiquette and behavior. The book includes points that meetings often start late (though workers must try to be on time regardless) and that it is quite common for long discussions to occur during meetings. 

The Easy Italian Phrasebook is the perfect companion to enjoy the beauty, history, society, traditions, culture, and language of Italy. 


Epic Vehicles Bold & Easy Coloring Book

For Paid Readers Club

This is the perfect coloring book for any child who is fascinated with cars, trucks, planes, boats and anything that can travel on land, water, and air.

The pictures are bold and easy to color making it appropriate for a 3-5 year old audience. Also each page comes with a description or fact about the vehicle pictured so the child can learn while coloring.

For example the page with a rocket includes a coloring page and a paragraph that reads “Did you know?. Rockets are so powerful they can travel over 17,000 miles per hour to break free of Earth's gravity. That's fast enough to go around the Earth in just one hour!”

This coloring book will help kids learn about and color their favorite vehicles as they dream about the day when they might drive, steer, or fly them themselves.
