Cannabidiol (commonly called CBD oil) boasts a slew of positive effects on mental and physical health, whether it’s consumed or applied topically. It comes from the Cannabis plant and is one of many chemicals produced by it. Unlike THC, CBD has no psychoactive effects and is legal for use throughout the United States.
Since it’s legalization, CBD has been everywhere and there’s no shortage of uses for the product. But rather than blandly putting it in your coffee every morning, The CBD Handbook shows creative ways to treat yourself and your friends to a little dose of this trending “essential oil”—including delicious main courses, next level drinks, pet treats, bath bombs and other pampering needs, and more. Tips and tricks on how to get the most out of your CBD oil of choice are peppered throughout.
Whether it’s used to calm an anxious animal, soothe sensitive skin, or reduce chronic pain, these recipes guide you through the most valuable and interesting uses of CBD oil. If you’re new to or curious about CBD oil and what you can do with it, this is the book for you.

Discover how the five cultures with the longest-living people eat and live, then enjoy 50 healthy recipes inspired by those locations—and perhaps live longer yourself.
When researchers identified a region in Sardinia as having the highest concentration of male centenarians, they later zeroed in on villages around the world with the highest longevity: Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy; Nicoya, Costa Rica; Ikaria, Greece; and Loma Linda, California, among the Seventh-Day Adventists.
In Live Longer, Live Better, nutritionist and chef Melissa Petitto, RD, looks at the food and lifestyle choices of the people in these regions and presents her findings in an easily digestible format. The first part of the book describes these areas of the world, what they have in common, and how their residents excel at living a healthy lifestyle that can lead to exceptional longevity. Similar characteristics of these communities include:
- Happiness and emotional wellness
- Family and community connections
- Natural-movement physical activity
- Disease prevention
The second part of the book provides 50 original, healthy recipeswith spectacular photography that reflect each of the locations, focusing on plant-based meals, as well as a typical day-in-the-life of a resident. Guidelines for this type of eating include reducing consumption of meat and dairy (but not altogether), cutting back on eggs and fish, slashing sugar, and increasing consumption of nuts, water, beans, and whole foods. The recipes offer ideas for rounding out meals so you can eat this way wherever you are. Some recipes include:
- Okinawa: Bitter Melon and Tofu Stir Fry; Okinawan Milk Tea; and Kokuto, Banana, and Dark Chocolate Muffins
- Sardinia: Sardinian Herb, Fennel, and Bean Soup; Fregola with Wild Mushrooms; and Sardinian Artichokes with Lemon and Pecorino
- Loma Linda: California Veggie Bowl with Tahini Dressing; Quinoa and Spinach Stuffed Peppers with Cashew Cream; and No Bake Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
- Ikaria: Warm Figs with Honey and Pistachio Drizzle; Ikarian Ratatouille; and Cornmeal Pie with Dried Fruit and Olive Oil
- Nicoya: Tomato Rice with Grilled Avocado and Lime; Potato, Sweet Pepper, Corn, and Tomato Hash; and Chan Seed Pineapple Aqua Fresca
Because there’s no counting calories or nutrient grams, eating this way doesn’t have to be complicated. So what are you waiting for? There’s no time like now to start living better longer!
