Eat This and Live! [antikvár]

Introductionmr fWHEN I WROTE The Seven Pillars of Health, I introduced people to the seven basic pillars of a healthy lifestyle. I believe that by living out the seven principles I shared in that book, anyone can become stronger, healthier, more energetic, younger looking, wiser, smarter, and more disease resistant.As a medical doctor who is board certified in family practice and anti-aging, I have dedicated my life to helping people become healthy. Because I have spent more than twenty years treating patients, the advice I give in my books is based on my years of experience with real problems and real people.One area of health that I commonly address when treating my patients is their diet. Why? Because research has shown us over and over again that too many Americans are eating their way to an early grave! The key is to know what foods to eat heartily, what foods to eat in moderation, and what foods to avoid. Wouldn't it be great if there were a road map to help you navigate through the often-treacherous territory of healthy food choices? That is exactly what you hold in your hands.The first several chapters of this book come from Pillar 3 of The Seven Pillars of Health, where I lay the groundwork to help you obtain a deeper understanding of why some foods are healthy ("living") and some are unhealthy ("dead"). In the remaining chapters I've removed the guesswork by giving you my picks of the healthiest food items in your grocery store and many popular fast-food and casual-dining restaurants. I've also provided you with tips for storing and preparing food in the healthiest ways possible, along with tips for getting your children to eat more healthily too. As a result, this is an extremely practical guidebook that teaches you how to adopt a dietary lifestyle that is maintainable for years to come. My goal is not to make eating a chore or to make more work on your part, but to enable you to exchange old habits for new ones.You'll notice that the title of this book is not Don't Eat This and Live. Far from being a "don't, can't, shouldn't" book. Eat This and Live! is designed to liberate you and help you make choices
