by Mike Adams The Health Ranger (Foreword by), Catherine J. Frompovich (Author)

How many folks realize that there's more to eating than just taste, food preferences, likes and dislikes? Food plays a major role in programming body chemistry so that we can enjoy a healthy lifestyle and all aspects of living a full and rewarding life. Our bodies, from the hair on our heads to the toenails on our feet and all body parts and functions in between, respond to the nutritional quality and quantity of the food and edibles we feed it. The choices we make regarding food and edibles determine how well our bodies can cope with stress; how well our immune systems protect us from diseases; the ability to maintain normal weight and blood pressure; plus the ability to age enjoyably without contracting many diseases commonly associated with growing old. Eat to Beat Disease helps eaters understand how food works in the body; which foods help maintain health and wellness by our dietary choices; and the foods that can, and do, detract from wellbeing, plus the reasons for avoiding them. With today's hurried lifestyles, enticing advertisements about food and edibles, many eaters become confused about the need and role for making sensible food choices. Eat to Beat Disease offers enticing and valid food science, cultural food information, holistic health ideas relative to food, diet and nutrition, and even delicious recipes to start you on your way to taking control of your health and diet just by making wiser, healthier and even delicious food choices.
