Zest for Life, the first anti-cancer health book with recipes based
on the traditional Mediterranean diet (new international edition),
provides all the guidance and practical advice you need to prepare
delicious, easy and affordable meals to boost your defenses against
cancer. Without prevention, one in two men and one in three women
in the industrialized world will develop cancer. What many people
don't know: at least a third of cancers could be avoided through a
healthy diet and lifestyle. Zest for Life does *not* propose a
short-term "diet" of hunger or imbalanced eating. On the contrary,
it shows how easy it is to enjoy a wide variety of tasty, healthy
foods every day and in doing so to reduce not only our cancer risk,
but also the risk of heart disease, obesity or diabetes. The Zest
for Life diet emphasizes vegetables and fruits, fish, olive oil,
legumes, fresh herbs and spices, and highlights the importance of
conviviality and the guilt-free enjoyment of food, thus nourishing
both body and soul. The healthy, modern recipes are inspired by
rich culinary traditions from around the Mediterranean: Italy,
France, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Morocco and others. Zest for Life
comprises a 120-page science section outlining the principles of
anti-cancer eating based on the latest scientific research,
followed by 150 easy, family-friendly recipes (using US and UK
measurements). Most of the recipes are plant-based, although
healthy fish and meat dishes feature too, as do low-sugar,
gluten-free cakes and other desserts. Author Conner
Middelmann-Whitney, nutritionist, health writer, chef and
mother-of-three, overcame early-stage cervical cancer 11 years ago.
Pragmatic, not preachy, she shares her personal cancer story in an
engaging style and suggests simple, tasty ways in which anti-cancer
eating can fit into busy schedules and tight budgets. The book is
supported by a website, www.zestforlifediet.com featuring
photographs of many of the dishes featured in the book as well as
frequently updated cancer-prevention news, healthy eating advice
and culinary tips. Conner is donating 25 percent of her royalties
(32 pence of every book sold) to Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres, a
UK registered charity number SC024414 (http:
