This is not another "diet" book. It is a healthy eating and drinking guide. This is the book you've been looking for that will tell you what you should and should not eat - and why - without going in to a lot of scientific jargon. Carbs are not the enemy. Neither are fats or proteins. Good nutrition is more than counting calories, carbs, fats and proteins. Good nutrition is getting the nutrients your body needs for good health, abundant energy and healthy weight control. This book defines food for you.
Food
Food is grown. Food is raised. Food grows in nature - in the wild. Food rots. Food has life sustaining nutrients which are imparted to you when you eat it. Food provides vitamins, minerals, enzymes, micronutrients, macronutrients, phytonutrients, antioxidants and fiber.
Food is not made. Food is not manufactured. This book will tell you what is and is not food. It will show you how to look for chemical additives and hidden sweets. It will show you marketing tricks used by manufacturers to make you think you're getting healthy, real food. It will help you arm yourself against the onslaught of ads and false claims.
Nature did not complicate food
People are so confused about what they should or should not eat. It's not your fault Nature did not complicate food for us. Humans have complicated our eating and drinking by manufacturing non-foods and marketing them in mammoth campaigns as food. The past two generations have grown up with grocery stores filled with boxes and bags of manufactured or over processed "food" devoid of natural nutrients.
Most of what is passed off to us in grocery stores and advertised in print or TV commercials has relatively few natural nutrients and bears little resemblance to what nature provided for us to nourish our bodies. It may have once been a natural, living food, but in its current form exhibits few original characteristics.
Young Americans are craving information about healthy eating the way your body craves nutrient-providing food after being left unfulfilled from all the refined "food" you give it. High school newspapers run series of articles on the various diets and diet plans student's friends and teachers follow. They are ravenous for advice and will take it from any and every source - creating even more desperation as the conflicting information causes further confusion.
Never before has timing been so critical I can't just sit back and read another article in the daily paper - such as "Young People seek ways to lose weight; improve their lives" or "Obesity will cut U. S. Life Expectancy" - without doing all I can to help.
Go to the book stores. There are entire sections on diet and nutrition books. Some are written by doctors - even doctors of psychology. Some are written by actors, entertainers and other individuals who want to share their own success stories. Some are written by prestigious university nutrition departments - usually sponsored by food or drug companies. They all tell a different story, but don't emphasize the importance of eating whole, natural "real," food rather than counting calories, carbs, fat or protein. With this book, there is no need for carrying around a food diary or pocket carb counter.

Lawrence Slobody, M.D., prescribes a 12-step plan for making the Golden Years happier, healthier-and longer. In easy-to-understand terms, his new book presents a comprehensive approach to the fight against aging. Dr. Slobody, a former president of the New York Medical College and currently a vital 85 years old, has produced what is being referred to as the bible of the anti-aging movement. Science is finally taking this movement seriously, making progress every day in this area of study, and Dr. Slobody has distilled that knowledge into a clear presentation and guide that reveals the why's as well as the how's of proper nutrition and exercise. The book, especially its revolutionary anti-aging diet and menu plans (a 15-day guide for 1200, 1800, and 2400 calorie diets), constitutes a total health plan involving nutrition, supplementation, and exercise of both body and mind. Lawrence B. Slobody, M.D., is convinced that the human body is built to last for 115 years. His book, The Golden Years: A 12-Step Anti-Aging Plan for a Longer, Healthier, and Happier Life, has been written to make that possible for us all. Dr. Slobody, a former president of the New York Medical College and currently a vital 85 years old, has produced what is being respectfully referred to as the bible of anti-aging at a time when science, as well as the general population, are finally taking the anti-aging movement seriously. Science is making amazing progress every day on this front, and Dr. Slobody has distilled that knowledge into a clear, sensible presentation of the critical steps toward a healthier, happier, more self-aware life. The Golden Years tells us that, as we approach 50, our body starts to change, a process characterized by our immune system beginning to break down. The agents of destruction are called free radicals and their specialty is the deterioration of body cells and tissues. Our mission as the caretakers of our bodies is to undermine these agents and hence, slow down the aging process. How? By following Dr. Slobody's 12-Step Anti-Aging Plan, we can help our natural protective repair and regenerative systems within our bodies, the so-called anti-free radicals, agents which are not usually as strong and effective as we age. Through proper nutrition, exercise of body and mind, and proper supplementation-as set forth in The Golden Years-we can customize a plan to fit our individual needs. Every day in America, almost 200 people reach 100 years of age, and that number is increasing each year. The Golden Years is a golden opportunity to fulfill our anti-aging potential.

The New Mediterranean Diet Cookbook is your guidebook to the ultimate superdiet, an evidence-based keto diet that emphasizes a diversity of fish, healthy fats, and a rainbow of colorful vegetables-with 100 delicious recipes for everything from snacks to dinner. The Mediterranean diet has long been touted as one of the world's healthiest diets, renowned for its protective effects against heart disease, cancer, and other chronic illnesses. However, its heavy inclusion of grains and carbohydrates can contribute to obesity and is a drawback for many. Also shown to have many health benefits, the ketogenic diet stimulates the fat-burning and longevity-promoting state of ketosis by limiting carbs and emphasizing high-fat foods. While the keto diet is about the proportion of macronutrients (fats, protein, carbohydrates) in the food you eat, the Mediterranean diet is about specific food types: seafood, olive oil, colorful vegetables, and other anti-inflammatory foods. This book is about living and eating at the intersection of these complementary diets so you can reap the benefits of both. While both diets advocate significant amounts of healthy fats and protein, the new Mediterranean approach to keto significantly shifts the fat profile of the diet to emphasize the monounsaturated and omega-3 fats that health experts agree promote living a long disease-free life. It also includes colorful vegetables, providing a diversity of nutrients and flavor. The result is an enhanced Mediterranean diet that stokes metabolism, supports the gut and microbiome, and is anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and nutrient-dense. Improve your overall health while enjoying delectable dishes including: Superfood Shakshuka Blender Cinnamon Pancakes with Cacao Cream Topping Green Goddess Salad Pancetta Wrapped Sea Bass Sheet Pan Crispy Salmon Piccata Fierce Meatball Zoodle Bolognese Nordic Stone Age Bread Chocolate Hazelnut "Powerhouse" Truffles With The New Mediterranean Diet Cookbook, you'll learn how to balance your macronutrients, what foods are considered the new Mediterranean superfoods, and how to make tasty dishes to keep you satisfied all day.
