The Mediterranean Prescription by Angelo Acquista PDF Reviews ebook Download



I read this The Mediterranean Prescription: Meal Plans and Recipes to Help You Stay Slim and Healthy for the Rest of Your Life by Angelo Acquista, Laurie Anne Vandermolen book looking for ways to keep me healthy.

This is an excellent book. The doctor, Angelo Aquista, does a wonderful job of explaining his way of eating. He goes into detail of how Americans eat too much fat and not enough vegetables and fish. He gives mention of the Island of Crete, where the people have low cholesterol and less heart attacks.

The best part are The Mediterranean Prescription recipes. The salad and dressings are terrific. The food he suggests, are very simple to make, easy to find, and taste wonderful.
Some of the foods are Chicken Cacciatore,Lentil soup, broiled lamb chops,etc. He gives a person a plan for losing weight and staying healthy. Topics also discussed are obesity,high blood pressure, artery disease, sleep apnea, and many other health issues.

The Mediterranean Prescription book really is telling us to eat more vegetables, less fats, and avoid foods like cheese, pan-fried foods. Such a simple diet but, so healthy. This book tells how to change your eating habits if one really wants to be healthy. I hope to get my family to try some of his great recipes.

The average American's awareness of the relationship between diet and mental and physical well being has virtually exploded since The New Whole Foods Encyclopedia: A Comprehensive Resource for Healthy Eating by Rebecca Wood, Peggy Markel, Paul Pitchford was first published in 1983. There has never been a greater selection of whole foods available at even a typical grocery store-but the choices can often be dizzying.

This The New Whole Foods Encyclopedia new edition shows consumers how to select, prepare, store, and use more than 1,000 familiar and unusual foods to maintain optimum health and heal what ails them. Readers of Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser- as well as anyone concerned about the quality of the food they ingest- will make this the go-to resource on good nutrition.

This is an excellent reference for any cook who wants to know more about whole foods, including grains, vegetables, fruits, etc. Rebecca is a very kind, warm person, and her personality shines through in this book.

The New Whole Foods Encyclopedia contents include both Western scientific knowledge about the proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals contained in foods, as well as their properties from an Eastern perspective, including Ayurvedic and Chinese Traditional Medicince. Rebecca draws from all of these traditions to present the wonders of whole foods. You may buy it as a reference but I guarantee you will browse just for the pleasure of it!

The Ethics of What We Eat, Peter Singer PDF Review ebook free Download



The Ethics of What We Eat: Why Our Food Choices Matter by Peter Singer, Jim Mason explores the impact our food choices have on humans, animals, and the environment. Recognizing that not all of us will become vegetarians, Singer and Mason offer ways to make healthful, humane food choices. As they point out: You can be ethical without being fanatical.

This The Ethics of What We Eat book is an excellent introduction for those who want to find out more about where our food comes from. It is not preachy or aggressive. Rather, it opens your mind to the various arguments, while still offering the authors' views on the ethics of different food choices.

The text is very well-researched, from their own first-hand experience, talking to various farmers, as well as from the existing body of literature in science, dietetics, agriculture and philosophy.

No one could accuse this The Ethics of What We Eat book of being unduly biased. They note the arguments of producers and concede ground where it is appropriate to do so. For example, they note the way some vegans overestimate the amount of water that it takes to produce different types of meat and reach a compromise figure that they believe more accurately reflects the amount of water that goes into beef.

They also respectfully recognise the pressures that lead people to make unethical food choices and encourage a way forward without making people feel like they're being whacked over the head with a moral stick.

The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods by Michael T. Murray PDF ebook Download



The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods by Michael T. Murray, Joseph Pizzorno, Lara Pizzorno book is an extraordinary reference for anyone wishing to know how foods affect the body, why they react the way they do, what to eat to address specific health issues, comprehensive information about fat and its importance in the diet and which foods to eat as well as what to stay clear from for optimal health. I would highly recommend it for consumers, health care practitioners, dieticians and especially doctors. The chapters are organized, well researched, documented with numerous supporting studies and the references are clearly ordered and easy to confirm.
The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods book is not only filled with very specific and helpful information on foods, vitamins and minerals, but the great number of tables with nutritent values, percentages, cabohydrates, vitamins, minerals and other details proved invaluable in my own research. This book is a must-have for anyone in the nutrition field and healthcare field. Physicians would benefit greatly as well, although if their clients embraced the information in this book, they'd soon be seeing far less of them.

Wonderful to have as a resource for what we are eating on an everyday basis. Love this The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods book! I have recommended it to many, and as a nutrition major, I have to say it is a must-buy for anyone who wants to learn more about food and wellness.

Real Food What to Eat and Why by Nina Planck PDF Review ebook Download



I can't praise this Real Food: What to Eat and Why book highly enough. A zillion cheers for Nina and the easy-to-read, friendly book she has delivered, filled with information that even a seasoned amateur nutritionist like myself can learn from.

What you'll find here are not recipes, like a reviewer was upset about below. But if she had read the title, it's pretty obvious this book is about the "why" behind the foods, not a "how-to-make-a-dish" book. And that's good, as we've been needing this info.

What you will find are facts and references to studies (with footnotes). I think we all can agree that American nutrition has been muddled by so much information, that it seems impossible to weed through just exactly what is healthy?

And that's where Nina cuts through the fog, with basic, simplified, and logical explanations of "why" our bodies need "what" food and the different kinds of food from traditional to industrial.

Nowhere in this
Real Food: What to Eat and Why book does Nina bash or criticize. Here positivity is glowing and admirable, especially with such hotly debated topics.

I would advise anyone to read this
Real Food: What to Eat and Why book. There are also parts addressed to children and the elderly. It's important for us to get back to the natural order of things, and stop being nutritional and drug experiments for scientists and pharmacologists. Being healthy starts first with your mind, then what you eat!

Fasting and Eating for Health by Joel Fuhrman M.D PDF ebook Download



In this Fasting and Eating for Health: A Medical Doctor's Program for Conquering Disease by Joel Fuhrman, Neal D. Barnard book, he explains some of the benefits you can gain from fasting, and he explains exactly why you should not engage in fasting for more than 3-4 days without going to a medical clinic. Dr. Fuhrman is a medical doctor, and a former olympic ice skater who overcame an injury that was almost fatal to his olympic career, via fasting.

This is not a book to help you plan a fast. This Fasting and Eating for Health is a book that can help to motivate a fast and to motivate more healthy eating. This book has a few very critical pieces of information (e.g. never eat between zero and 1200 calories because above 1200 calories you have enough carbohydrates -> glocose for your brain, and at zero calories your brain converts to ketosis and has enough glucose, but between 0 and 1200 calories your brain and organs compete for cabohydrates and you can easily damage your internal organs.)

The Fasting and Eating for Health book is so motivational that I think many people will try unsupervised fasting after reading this book. I think the doctor should admit that his book will be too successful, and he should give a few more tips about how to run a short unsupervised fast, or what entry criteria / monitoring could be used for a short and self-supervised fast. That's the only flaw in this book.
