As Featured on PBS
How to stay healthy and boost immunity with #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. Joel Fuhrman's no-nonsense, results-driven nutrition plan.
As a family
physician for over 30 years and #1 New York Times bestselling author Joel
Fuhrman, M.D. will tell you that doctors and medications cannot grant you
excellent health or protection from disease and suffering. The most effective
health-care is proper self-care and that starts with changing the way we eat.
Eat for
Life delivers a science-backed nutrition-based program that prevents and
even reverses most medical problems within three to six months. This is a bold
claim but the science and the tens of thousands who have tried this approach
back it up.
The truth
is: you simply do not have to be sick.
Most
Americans are deficient in the vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients found in
plants (micronutrients), and consume too many fats, proteins, carbohydrates
(macronutrients). The results of this standard diet is that we are not only shortening
our lives but damaging our energy, vitality, and daily health by eating
packaged and processed foods, excessive meat and dairy, and unsustainable
amounts of salt and sugar. What we need is to consume foods rich in
phytonutrients such as greens, beans, onions, mushrooms, berries, and seeds.
These delicious and abundant foods contain the largest assortment of
micronutrients and when consumed in adequate quantities they prevent and reverse
diabetes and heart-disease, lower cholesterol and blood pressure, and reduce
hunger and food cravings.
Rooted in
the latest nutritional science and complete with recipes, menu plans, and
testimonials, Eat for Life offers everything you need to change the
course of your health and put this life-changing program to work for you.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Celebrity doctor Fuhrman (Eat to Live) lays out his case for the "Nutrarian" diet in this heavily notated guide to healthier eating. Fuhrman posits that the Nutrarian diet a regimen focused on nutrient-rich, mostly vegan foods "is the pinnacle of excellence in the nutrition world" and can slow aging, prevent disease, and boost longevity. He bolsters those claims with case studies of those who've conquered diabetes, hepatitis, cardiovascular disease, and even stage IV melanoma by following his plan, and supplements his argument with citations of his own studies as well as those done by other physicians (he concludes with nearly 50 pages of notes referencing various scientific studies). Those worried about palate fatigue will appreciate the breadth of dishes in these 100-plus recipes, such as black bean and butternut squash chili; Asian ginger lime zucchini noodles; a meatless bolognese (made with tempeh); buffalo cauliflower; no-bake brownies; crispy onion rings; Mac and Peas (a combination of oats, vegetable broth, miso, and yeast replaces the cheese); and huevos rancheros (made with scrambled tofu). Ingredients are easily sourced, and Fuhrman's directions are easy to follow. Home cooks looking to change their lifestyles will feel in good hands with Fuhrman's encouraging and detailed guide.
