SuperFoods Rx is based on a simple but profound premise: some foods are dramatically better than others for our health and longevity. Sure, everyone knows that an apple is a better snack than potato chips, but do you know that a daily handful of walnuts or a bowl of blueberries can actually improve your well-being and longevity?
Steven Pratt, M.D., witnessed the positive results that occurred when
his patients with age-related macular degeneration changed their diets
to include certain powerhouse foods-those he hs identified as
SuperFoods. Backed by proven research on fourteen of the most nutrient
dense foods, this book puts these tools in your hands, and on your
plate, to give you more energy, greater protection against disease, and
a healthy lifestyle now and for the future. SuperFoods Rx not only outlines the
amazing health benefits of these fourteen foods, it also includes
delicious recipes kitchen tips, and shopping suggestions that will make
the SuperFoods lifestyle simple and irresistible. Don't like tomatoes?
Not to worry; almost all of the SuperFoods have sidekicks-or
substitutions-that you can enjoy instead. Have some lycopene rich red
watermelon or pink grapefruit instead of tomatoes. Can't bear the
thought of spinach? Choose form a list of other dark leafy greens,
romaine lettuce, or orange bell peppers.
Whether you're 63 or 23, now is the right time to start eating the
SuperFoods way. By making these foods part of your regular eating
habits, You can actually change the course of your biochemistry and
stop the incremental changes in your body that lead to diseases such as
type II diabetes, hypertension, certain cancers, obesity, and
Alzheimer's.
