"...Weil illuminates the often confusing and conflicting ideas circulating about good nutrition, addressing specific health issues and offering nutritional guidance to help heal and prevent major illnesses." ExcerptIt is not easy to find the answers to these questions, especially today when we are bombarded by so much confusing and contradictory nutritional information. My purpose in writing this book is to cut through the confusion. First lineIn the course of my work, questions always come up about food and nutrition, diet and health. Publisher's noteAt last, a book about eating (and eating well) or health -- from Andrew Weil, the brilliantly innovative and greatly respected doctor who has been instrumental in transforming the way Americans think about health. Now Dr. Weil -- whose nationwide bestsellers Spontaneous Healing and Eight Weeks to Optimum Health have made us aware of the body's capacitiy to heal itself -- provides us with a program for improving our well-being by making informed choices about how and what we eat. Dr. Weil makes clear how an optimal diet can both supply the basic needs of the body and fortify the body's defenses and mechanisms of healing. And he always stresses that good food -- and the good feeling it engenders at the table -- is not only a delight but also necessary to our well being so that eating for health means enjoyable eating. Eating Well for Optimum Health is a hugely practical and inspiring book about food, diet and nutrition that stands to change -- for the better and the healthier -- our most fundamental ideas about eating. AnnotationRenowned nutritionist Andrew Weil provides a sensible weight-loss plan, which includes a low-fat, well-balanced diet that may promote optimum health. In doing so, he offers readers basic facts about nutrition and describes the body's chemical reaction to calories, carbohydrates, and fats. He also critiques numerous diets from around the world, pointing out the health risks and benefits that each is associated with. Realizing that eating is pleasurable, he shows readers how to indulge in delicious, nutritious foods that will enhance their dining experiences rather than their waistlines. This is not a quick-fix diet; Weil encourages diners to permanently commit to healthy eating habits. His 85 recipes include Mediterranean Tuna Steaks, Poached Salmon, Potato-Rosemary-Crusted Fish Fillets, and several vegetarian options, like Grilled Tempeh Sandwiches and Vegetable Stir-Fry with Tofu.
