Results from the National Research Council's (NRC) landmark study
Diet and health are readily accessible to nonscientists in this
friendly, easy-to-read guide. Readers will find the heart of the
book in the first chapter: the Food and Nutrition Board's
nine-point dietary plan to reduce the risk of diet-related chronic
illness. The nine points are presented as sensible guidelines that
are easy to follow on a daily basis, without complicated measuring
or calculating?and without sacrificing favorite foods. Eat for Life
gives practical recommendations on foods to eat and in a "how-to"
section provides tips on shopping (how to read food labels),
cooking (how to turn a high-fat dish into a low-fat one), and
eating out (how to read a menu with nutrition in mind). The volume
explains what protein, fiber, cholesterol, and fats are and what
foods contain them, and tells readers how to reduce their risk of
chronic disease by modifying the types of food they eat. Each
chronic disease is clearly defined, with information provided on
its prevalence in the United States. Written for everyone concerned
about how they can influence their health by what they eat, Eat for
Life offers potentially lifesaving information in an understandable
and persuasive way. Alternative Selection, Quality Paperback Book
