In Hungry for Change: Beyond the Paleo Diet, Niklas Gustafson offers us a thorough and detailed explanation of all aspects of the food we eat: from the vested interests of the food industry - one of the most powerful in the world - to the disastrous consequences of consuming too many refined carbohydrates and sugars. Hungry for Change provides the key elements to help us turn away from foods that potentially do us harm and, instead, to choose the most suitable foods for our body to thrive and be as healthy as possible. To help put into practice what is essentially a revolutionary change in our eating habits, the second part of the Hungry for Change contains a wide range of recipes based on an approach to nutrition that allows us to continue to evolve through more beneficial and healthier foods for our body. Whilst being healthy, these recipes are delicious and, in most cases, simple to prepare. Although the roots of the book are found in the Paleo Diet and its principles, this book goes further. Niklas Gustafson encourages us to listen to our bodies again and understand what feels good to us, without imposing norms or rules. He reminds us of the importance of rest, of contact with nature, of re-enjoying those around us, of living in a responsible way. In short, he proposes a change in our lifestyle to help us live longer, better and happier.

Everybody loves bread A fluffy, crusty favorite and a staple to so

transition to a gluten-free or Paleo Diet. Many are left with a
"dietary dent" that is not easily replaced.
'This book takes a preventative stance towards dentistry, and investigates everything from breastfeeding to gut bacteria, to uncover how to support a truly healthy mouth.' Psychologies Teeth are often considered the marker of health, attractiveness, success, and even happiness. Yet our approach to dental care has been fearful, costly, and segregated from other parts of the body. We've long known that oral health echoes our overall well-being. But what if we were to flip the paradigm? What if we thought about dental health as the foundation for our physical health? Dr Steven Lin, an experienced dentist and the world's leading dental nutritionist, has forged a new scientific outlook to reshape our perception of dental disease. Through ancestral medicine, epigenetics and an examination of the oral and gut microbiome, Dr Lin has developed food-based principles for a holistic health approach that is literally top-down. Merging dental and nutritional science, Dr Lin lays out the dietary program that prevents painful cavities and dental treatment, giving you the resources to raise kids who develop naturally straight teeth. His 40-day meal plan is complete with the Dental Diet food pyramid, exercises for the mouth, recipes and cooking techniques to help you easily and successfully implement these practices in your everyday life. Since our mouth is the gatekeeper of our entire body, keeping our oral microbiome balanced is essential for creating and maintaining a healthy and wholesome self. The tools to improve overall wellness levels and reverse disease are closer than we think-in our markets, in our pantries, and, most frequently, in our mouths.
