Book Reviews of 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life
Book Review: A must have book
Summary: 5 Stars
I have the Kindle version. All elements work as they should.
The book lists 101 individual fruits, vegetables, grains, herbs, spices. Almost all are common everyday items with only a few that may not be in your local supermarkets such as goji berries (you can order via mail on Amazon for instance), amaranth (a grain), and teff (a grain from Ethiopia).
The only animal products listed are eggs, salmon, sardines, yogurt, and whey.
Each entry has an quote/saying/intro , history, where its grown, why you should eat it, highlights of its qualities, special pros and/or cons, home remedy uses, special food studies on it, how to select and store it, and sample receipes. The receipes are all very simple without exotic ingredients or special pans, etc. Included are number of calories, and amounts of grams of simple things like fats, vitamins, etc.
Highly entertaining, informative, engaging, eye opening. (don't peel your apples as the peel is where all the antioxidants are).
A wealth of information and all of it to your benefit. Simple and effective presentation.
There are two Appendix':
a) 2,000 calorie meal plan. (On the Kindle, the type is really small but can be read in good light.)
b) a listing of food qualities such as vitamins, nutrients, and phytochemicals, the foods you can find them in, and what are the specific benefits such as may be cancer fighting or may contribute to heart health, etc.
Very highly recommended.
