Plenty of books have been written about budgeting for families. Eating Well for Less Than $30 a Week is aimed at helping single people on limited incomes eat nutritious food without breaking the bank, based on planning weekly or fortnightly menus. In the first section, I address the question, Am I getting enough food? Here I outline a typical weekly menu, which forms the basis for that weeks food purchases. The cost of these items is shown in detail in Section 4. Other sections cover eating while travelling, health issues, food storage, and tips for people working outside the home. I have also provided some recipes for cheap meals that can be prepared quickly and easily. This is a down-to-earth, commonsense guide to budgeting, with nutritional and health information thrown in for good measure.

The most comprehensive introduction to achieving total health. -- The first branded book on Wellness, which is important because the topic is fairly new to people, and they may be more inclined to seek out a trusted and easy-to-read book in order to get acquainted with the topic. -- Although wellness is commonly discussed in terms of its three main pillars -- exercise, nutrition, and stress management -- almost all books currently available focus on just one or two aspects. Wellness rests on three strong pillars -- proper nutrition, regular moderate exercise and stress management. As with anything balanced upon three legs, if one of the legs is missing or weak, the whole thing collapses. If you exercise regularly but eat poorly and do nothing to manage your stress, you are setting yourself up for illness. If you eat right but never get up out of your recliner, the same thing will happen. Even if you manage to eat well and exercise four times a week, the good benefits you accrue will not protect you from developing an illness if your life is full of unrelenting stress. The Complete Idiot's Guide "RM" to Wellness teaches readers how to improve overall health and avoid illness by balancing these three pillars. In addition to providing readers with the necessary facts in each of these three areas, this book provides them with the tools necessary to proactively track their own wellness initiatives and identify when its time to get a particular check-up or exam, and under what circumstances to seek medical care.
