Did you know that 62% of the food in our supermarkets is not only
processed but 'ultra-processed' (ingredients from other foods are
combined to make something 'new', often in colours that do not exist in
nature) and that data shows that by eating this kind of food over time
we are literally slowly poisoning ourselves?
In the hard-hitting, ground-breaking tradition of his NY Times
bestseller FAT CHANCE, which revealed the dangers of sugar, Dr Robert
Lustig persuasively presents a stark exposé of how our addiction to
processed foods (aided and abetted by the food industry, big ag, big
pharma, institutional medicine and the government) is behind the lethal
increase in major non-communicable diseases, including diabetes, heart
disease, fatty liver disease, cancer and dementia. We have come to
accept that these chronic diseases are simply part of the 'natural
ageing process', but Dr Lustig makes the case that this is simply not
true.
The solution on both a personal and societal level is a return to
unprocessed food and Dr Lustig offers a doable plan for us to heal and
restore our own health and wellbeing with real food, and in the process
boosting our immunity to viruses like Covid-19.
We all want tasty food that's good for us. Key to that is ensuring
we eat our daily intake of fruit and vegetables. Most of us aren't
even getting half the fruit and veg we need in a day. In Five
Rachel de Thample makes delicious food effortless, offering over
150 easy, flavoursome recipes that will boost your daily intake.
Rachel's inspirational treasure trove includes such dishes as Fig,
Almond and Orange Blossom Water Muffins, Moroccan Beetroot Soup,
Wild Spring Spaghetti and Carrot Cake Scones, as well as themed and
seasonal menu suggestions. Whatever you choose to eat, each dish is
clearly flagged with the number of portions of fruit and veg each
serving contains - some even offer a full 5 portions. So you always
know you're eating both well and happily.
3-2-1 is a brand new way of cooking delicious food, that is
completely life changing. Every recipe is formulated to contain 3
portions of fruit and vegetables per person, serving 2 people and
all made in one pan. That's it! Curries, Stews, Traybakes,
Casseroles, Salads and more. Take the effort out of cooking and put
health and enjoyment back in. 'Food and nutritional medicine play a
crucial part in our general wellbeing - I've examined hundreds of
academic studies that show which diets have the biggest health
impact, which ingredients are best to include, as well as which
cooking processes maintain nutritional quality.' Bestselling author
and NHS medical doctor, Dr Rupy introduces his simple 3-2-1
formula, making it possible to easily cook healthy meals every
single day. Following on from his two bestselling cookbooks, he
builds on his message that the most important health intervention
anyone can make is what you put on your plate. Containing over 100
recipes that taste spectacular, offering a streamlined cooking
process, whilst ensuring health benefits to optimise wellbeing,
3-2-1 is an easy-to-follow health prescription. This daily 'dose'
of fresh ingredients, quality fats, whole grains and plenty of
fibre lowers the risk of disease. Guided by scientific evidence, Dr
Rupy's core principles of healthy eating remain the same - keep
plant focused, eat lots of fibre, plenty of colourful vegetables
and whole foods. Each incredible tasting dish promises 3 portions
of fruit and vegetables per person, 2 servings per meal and uses
only 1 pan. Need 4 portions for a family? Just double the
ingredients! As a busy doctor, Dr Rupy knows that one of the main
reasons people choose not to cook at home is lack of TIME as well
as the EFFORT to cook it. Each recipe is cleverly formulated to
require only one pan, minimising the cooking process (as well as
the washing up), and using as little equipment as possible - the
majority only require a knife, chopping board and a cooking dish.
Dr Rupy's practical and easy-to-use book promises gorgeous looking,
flavourful dishes that consistently look after our bodies, helping
to beat illness by optimising our food choices. This is a
prescription to fill yourself, one delicious plate at a time. Share
this formula for long lasting health and start cooking the 3-2-1
way!
