Book Reviews of 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life
Book Review: Recommended by the American Dietetic Association
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was written by a Registered Dietitian - which means he has a degree in nutrition science (biology, chemistry, and physiology) and is nationally licensed by the Commission on Dietetic Registration and the American Dietetic Association. R.D.'s offer more credible and scientifically based guidance than "nutritionists" who are not licensed. That is why hospitals, MDs, and health clinincs do not hire any one without the RD credential. Ask yourself "What am I being sold?" With a Dietitian you are being offered knowledge and skills you need to make healthy decisions, with everyone else you are just being SOLD! I definately recommend this book, its info is based on what are called Randomized Clinical Trials - scientific studies that reveal correlation (ie saturated fat increases risk of breast cancer, etc). With this book you aren't being sold fads and voodoo, you're being informed. This is one of the few and invaluable diet books that is actually written by the pros. When you want true nutritional advice, go to the most qualified professional.
Summary of 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life
When it comes to food, nature provides a wealth of delicious choices. But each one also supplies unique health benefits. From apples to yogurt, this comprehensive encyclopedia of power foods from top nutritionist David Grotto proves that what tastes good can also be good for you-and tells you why. Did you know.... A handful of tart cherries before bed can help you sleep better
. Hot peppers may fight skin cancer
. Potatoes may reduce the risk of stroke
. Grape juice may be as heart-healthy as red wine
. Honey can help wounds heal faster
In working with thousands of clients over many years and searching for the most nutritious and tasty foods, David Grotto made a simple but profound discovery: telling people what they couldn't eat was far less effective than telling them what they could. So began his list of power foods, rich in nutrients, loaded with disease-fighting antioxidants and important omega fats-and surprisingly more familiar than you might expect.
More than a reference book, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life will make a significant impact on your health by guiding you to gradually add these foods to your diet. Plus, each entry includes a history of the food's origin, therapeutic benefits along with scientific research, tips for use and preparation, and an appetizing recipe from a leading chef or nutritionist. Prepare to awaken your tastebuds, lose excess weight, and feel the healing begin.
