Eat to Save Your Life


Book Description

The food and supplements industries are complex, political, and fraught with debate. Most people are uncertain and uninformed about what constitutes the best nutrition and often make decisions that put their lives at risk. Eat to Save Your Life intends to help you make the best decisions by providing you with the best science-based nutritional information available. What you might not know: Many life-threatening diseases are on the increase, and new diseases are emerging that pharmaceuticals alone are not addressing: cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, depression, and other common disorders have been linked to nutritional deficiencies. Yet licensing regulations may prevent or discourage your physician from advising about nutrition and supplements. What you can do: Arm yourself with contemporary knowledge and penetrating questions as you search for the best food and food supplements for you and your family. This book will help you do just that. Gloria and Jerre have successfully created a handbook that simplifies the essentials of proper nutrition and supplementation from the piles of information and misinformation that is out there. Its a fantastic reference for anyone looking to improve their health while saving time and money at the health food store.

Food Over Medicine


Book Description

Includes recipes from Chef Del Sroufe, author of the bestselling Forks Over Knives—The Cookbook and Better Than Vegan Nearly half of Americans take at least one prescription medicine, with almost a quarter taking three or more, as diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and dementia grow more prevalent than ever. The problem with medicating common ailments, such as high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol, is that drugs treat symptoms—and may even improve test results—without addressing the cause: diet. Overmedicated, overfed, and malnourished, most Americans fail to realize the answer to lower disease rates doesn't lie in more pills but in the foods we eat.With so much misleading nutritional information regarded as common knowledge, from “everything in moderation" to “avoid carbs," the average American is ill-equipped to recognize the deadly force of abundant, cheap, unhealthy food options that not only offer no nutritional benefits but actually bring on disease. In Food Over Medicine, Pamela A. Popper, PhD, ND, and Glen Merzer invite the reader into a conversation about the dire state of American health—the result of poor nutrition choices stemming from food politics and medical misinformation. But, more important, they share the key to getting and staying healthy for life. Backed by numerous scientific studies, Food Over Medicine details how dietary choices either build health or destroy it. Food Over Medicine reveals the power and practice of optimal nutrition in an accessible way.




The Save-Your-Life Diet


Book Description

Best-selling author, David Reuben. M.D., tells you the one simple change you can make in your diet that will give you medically-proven protection against colon and rectal cancer, heart attacks, appendicitis, diverticulosis, hemorrhoids, constipation and other diseases of "civilization". This book guides you step-by-step in the easy and appetizing process of making your diet your shield against the disease. In this history-making explanation of the high-fiber diet, Dr. Reuben has brought good health and long life to millions of Americans. For decades Medical Science was puzzled by the fact that Black Africans seemed to be "immune" from cancer of the colon and heart attacks...and several other terrible diseases. They almost never came down with either of these 2 "killer diseases". Among Black Africans hardly anyone gets colon cancer...much less dies from it. But in the U.S. 140,000 people get colon cancer every year - and 50,000 of them die from it. Among Black Africans hardly anyone gets a heart attack...much less dies from it. Every year 720,000 Americans have a heart attack and 380,000 of them die. What's the difference? For centuries, no one knew. But about 50 years ago two brilliant English physicians made an amazing discovery. They realized that there was one tiny overlooked difference between the African diet and the American/European. One single apparently insignificant ingredient was sparing the lives of the Africans and killing millions of Americans and Europeans. That ingredient - with a cost so low it could hardly be measured - was dietary fiber! Black Africans living in the villages consumed a diet with large amounts of "roughage" or dietary fiber. They ate things like beans, corn meal, bananas, potatoes, yams, etc. They ate very little meat and virtually no processed food. Their fiber intake was high. Americans and Europeans eat a lot of meat and few vegetables...and the food that should contain fiber like bread and rice, is over-refined and has most of the fiber taken out of it. Those are the bare details. But The Save-Your-Life-Diet takes over from there and explains in detail exactly the steps you can take to protect yourself and your family from deadly colon/rectal cancer as well as: Heart Attacks (Myocardial Infarcts) Blood clots in the legs spreading to the lungs (phlebitis to pulmonary embolism) Appendicitis Constipation Diverticular disease (diverticulosis and diverticulitis) Irritable bowel syndrome Hemorrhoids Varicose veins High levels of serum cholesterol Obesity High blood pressure The recommendations of The Save-Your-Life-Diet present the latest proven and confirmed scientific evidence in a simple easy-to-read, easy-to-apply manner that can give you and your family real protection from these terrible and deadly diseases. And the cost? About fifteen cents per day. This is the one book that can make a really and truly change your life - and the lives of your family -- for the better. By the time you finish reading it you will have a tremendous sense of relief and new power to prolong your life.
