Our bodies are designed to use food not only for nutrition, but also to learn about the world around us. Despite a reality of unprecedented food abundance, much of the food in our modern diet may trick our bodies into thinking that we are in a constant state of emergency. Our bodies may become stressed when we eat stressed foods--so that we truly become what we eat. The consumption of a stressed diet may play a role in virtually all forms of chronic disease. Insight into the role of chronic stress in our diet represents a critical step in recognizing how food can play a role in improving our mental and physical well-being. This book will offer suggestions to cut down on stress consumption by making the right choices about food. It also provides a list of resources, food stores, restaurants and websites that subscribe to this philosophy.
The food we eat may represent a significant, previously unrecognized, source of chronic stress. Food not only provides calories, but also information. Despite the unprecedented abundance, modern food can erroneously convey stress associated with resource scarcity. Our bodies assimilate the stress embedded in the foods - so that we truly are what we eat. Insight into the role of chronic stress embedded in the foods represents the first step in recognizing how food can improve our mental and physical wellness. The association between food and health has generated recent interest in organic foods, local foods, "slow foods", vegetarianism, raw foods, natural foods and free-range meats. Low-Stress Food may represent the unifying paradigm that links these various modern movements under a common umbrella. Low-Stress Food exemplifies a broader philosophy that good relationships with nature and each other is the foundation to building a better world.

Offering a Canadian perspective on the emotional health of servicemen and women, Military Operations and the Mind brings together researchers and practitioners from across the country to consider the impact that ethical issues have on the well-being of those who serve. Stemming from an initiative to enhance the lives of serving members by providing them with the best education and training in military ethics before and after deployments, this volume will better inform politics and public policies and enhance the welfare of the soldiers, sailors, and airmen and women who serve in singular, often harsh, and sometimes dangerous conditions. By integrating into the analysis the critical issue of well-being, this emerging field demonstrates a more holistic approach and is distinct from other fields in military, historical, philosophical, and behavioural studies. The first study of its kind, Military Operations and the Mind presents a new and helpful way to focus on the life of soldiers not only in operations overseas, but also once they return home.
