"Where Baby Mama meets the Discovery Channel, a bright book of brain candy about the wild science behind pregnancy"--

"Q- Do Gentlemen Really Prefer Blondes? A- Marilyn Monroe, Scarlet Johansson and Gwyneth Paltrow would be happy to know that they do. During the Ice Age, when even cavemen were in short supply, the blonde woman really did get her man - simply because her light coloured hair made her stand out. Plus scientists have recently discovered that natural blondes have higher oestrogen levels. In short, golden (preferably long) hair shouts - 'I am young, sexy - and fertile' to every member of the male species within a few miles. Q- When s the best time to seduce my man? A- Your other half will definitely get more possessive and more attracted to you when you re ovulating and at your most fertile. You ll spend time on your make-up and choose next day s outfit before you go to bed. Your lips will be fuller, and your skin will be radiant because of the high levels of oestrogen being pumped through your blood. But don t get carried away by how sexy you feel. You are also more likely to be unfaithful during this period and your boyfriend is also likely to run away with another equally fertile member of the female species. Q- How do I get him to change his wild lifestyle? A- Get pregnant.

Exploring the intriguing connections between seasons and sexual behavior, this book delves into how environmental changes influence intimacy and fertility. It raises provocative questions about relationships, suggesting that a lover might pose a higher chance of conception than a spouse. Additionally, it examines the correlation between dancing skills and sexual prowess, offering insights into the dynamics of attraction and performance in both dance and romance.

"Wits Guts Gritis inspired by the many what-if questions acclaimed science writer and mother of two Jena Pincott asked herself as research on how the invisible forces that shape our minds and health has emerged and grown over the past decade. What if we identify the microbes that support stress resilience, find ways to expose our kids to them, and then test them? What if we reintroduce the mineral magnesium, deficient in almost every child's diet? Would it reduce anxiety and increase bounce-back, as the science now suggests? What if memory and learning could improve measurably after eating certain foods--such as blueberries--high in plant chemicals called flavonols? What if primal ways of moving the body strengthen kids' working memory and mental flexibility? What if receiving the right types of touch translate into better emotional control and self-regulation? These and many more questions led Pincott to simple, all-natural "biohacks"--Or experiments inspired by current research and theory--complete with instructions on how to undertake them to help your own children strengthen their wits, guts, and grit. Explaining the science and her own experimentation with her two gung-ho daughters in a lively, humorous, accessible way, Pincott guides parents to learn how the underlying ingredients of the traits we all want for our kids--resilience, focus, perseverance, working memory, and more--may be all around us in the natural world, ready to be harnessed"-- Provided by publisher
