The ultimate guide to using food as medicine from the Nutrition expert for the Today Show, Joy Bauer.
Nutritional healing has gone mainstream and researchers at top universities are publishing studies that show how the right foods can help prevent, manage, and sometimes entirely reverse the defining symptoms of a wide range of health issues. Whether it's unwanted pounds or high blood sugar, mood swings or digestive trouble, the cure can be what you eat every day.
Now Joy Bauer, a nutrition consultant to celebrities from actors to gold-medal winning athletes, explains exactly what to eat to lower high cholesterol and blood pressure, improve skin tone, sharpen memory, sleep better, and take charge of PMS, arthritis, and more. Each chapter focuses on one of the many conditions that drive people to seek Joy's professional help and simulates a personal consultation. Readers walk away with up-to-the-minute, scientifically researched recommendations on particular foods to seek out and which ones to avoid, plus grocery lists, meal plans, recipes, and supplement recommendations presented in easy-to-follow 4-step prescriptive plans.
This is a huge book, and has so much more information than I ever thought. I had heard about people using Joy Bauer's food cures to lose weight, and had heard raves from hosts of the Today Show, so thought I would give it a shot. It is much more comprehensive than just weight loss, and covers things like eating to help ease stomach ailments, heart disease, etc. It also describes the ways certain foods affect your moods, and how to eat to overcome depression, etc. It is a great reference tool, though I am not totally sure eating the right foods is the only answer for certain conditions! It gives a few recipes and healthier alternatives to some foods, and is an all-around good reference tool for smarter eating and overcoming certain health concerns. I think it is an interesting read, and is written in a manner which makes it easy for anybody to read.
