The Nutrition Cure: Years of Complicated Research in Plain Terms

How This Book Will Help You "Those who think they have no time for healthy eating, will sooner or later have to find time for illness." - Edward Stanley If you're like most people, you're very busy with work, family, and friends. You know how important it is to be healthy in order to be able to live your life well and be there for your loved ones with energy and without pain or other physical limitations. Most people recognize that what and how they eat can affect how they feel, but may be unaware of how important making the effort to eat healthy is to their long-term well-being. Perhaps you've experienced a "sugar rush" after eating a donut in the morning, only to feel starving a half hour later when the donut "wears off." That's your body reacting to what you eat and sending you a message. If you continue to eat donuts every day, your body will send you more messages, such as weight gain, in addition to those mood and energy swings during the day. If you listen to these messages and change the donuts for something healthier and less sugary, over time you'll also get a response from your body: lower numbers on the scale and fewer energy swings. However, if you don't listen to your body and keep eating those donuts (along with practicing other unhealthy behaviors), you could become one of the millions of people who gradually develop diabetes or another chronic illness. Diabetes, a potentially life-threatening disease, doesn't happen overnight. It develops over a period of years, and is usually attributable to diet and unhealthy lifestyle choices. Even children are developing diabetes more than ever before. What most people don't know is that most cases of adult and childhood diabetes can be entirely prevented, and in many cases reversed, by improving your nutrition and lifestyle habits. No doctors, medications or surgeries are needed. What it takes is your own determination to take responsibility for your health, and make some changes in how you eat and move around. The information in this guide is best for busy people who have tried and failed to improve their health and their weight by following fad diets or by following what's on the labels of the processed food in their supermarket. "Low-fat," "Vitamin-fortified" and "Sugar-free" are all ways in which the food industry tries to convince you that buying their product is a healthy choice. In fact, those labels are misleading, and we'll tell you why and what to choose instead. We'll help you come up with delicious meal plans, too, so you'll save time at the store and in the kitchen. This information is also good for people who have searched the internet for information on how to eat healthy, and been totally overwhelmed by the amount of information out there. Not to mention the contradictory nutrition research results that seem to show up in the news almost daily. We've gone through that information for you, and all claims and suggestions in this book have at least two reputable sources to back it up. We don't subscribe to any fads, quacks, or "brand new" information that has not been tested in the real world. The information offered here is for people who want to improve their health naturally, without toxins, chemicals, drugs, or "miracle pills." Nothing suggested in this guide is artificial or carries any risk of side effects whatsoever. "So what's the catch?" You may ask. An all-natural solution that doesn't involve drugs or chemicals of any kind, that is delicious, helps you lose weight and is able to prevent or even cure disease sounds a bit too good to be true, doesn't it? Well, it is true and it does work. The only catch is that you have to make changes to your diet and to your routine, and maintain these changes over time. If you can manage that, you will reap the benefits of this natural approach. After 25,000 patients and fifteen years in practice we've learned a few things about how to help people take control of their health. Please be one of them.
