With Christmas and Hannukah right around the corner, have you started your gift shopping yet? If you’re like me, then maybe not! For me, November and December roll on by as usual. Then, a week before the holidays I realize I haven’t done any shopping! Luckily there are a ton of Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (aka the nutrition experts) who have written books that would make the perfect last-minute gift. Or, “treat yo self” and buy something for YOU!
Whether your loved one likes to cook, needs help for specific medical issues, is pregnant, or wants to prevent early aging, I’ve got a title on this list. Who knows, maybe one of these days in the very near future my own name will be on this list! 😉
