Book Reviews of 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life
Book Review: Interesting, Informative!
Summary: 4 Stars
The reason I bought this book was to discover more about healthy foods that are available. In that regard the book succeeds very nicely. Place of origin, how to store, benefits for particular conditions, etc., makes for good reading. Now the trick is to adapt and include these potential "life savers" to an everyday diet. I am sure that some will be no problem but can anyone imagine using all the foods mentioned in this book in a regular schedule? Far Out! From Theory to the Practice there is a lot of road to travel but never the less the book gives the information. For the money I found it acceptable. I am sure this information can be retrieved through various searches in the internet but I wanted to pay for a list from someone in a position to provide it, and at this, the author delivers well. Many of the foods I was familiar with their health benefits, while many others I had not considered at all, busy lifestyle and all. 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life is a lot better than a romantic novel for the body or just about any type of fiction novel. So the investment is sound for I do agree wholeheartedly that prevention is so much better than affliction when it comes to the body, and these foods have all the goodness to prevent a series of maladies. For that alone I think it is worth buying. 4 Stars for its good intentions!
Summary of 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life
When it comes to food, nature provides a wealth of delicious choices. But each one also supplies unique health benefits. From apples to yogurt, this comprehensive encyclopedia of power foods from top nutritionist David Grotto proves that what tastes good can also be good for you-and tells you why. Did you know.... A handful of tart cherries before bed can help you sleep better
. Hot peppers may fight skin cancer
. Potatoes may reduce the risk of stroke
. Grape juice may be as heart-healthy as red wine
. Honey can help wounds heal faster
In working with thousands of clients over many years and searching for the most nutritious and tasty foods, David Grotto made a simple but profound discovery: telling people what they couldn't eat was far less effective than telling them what they could. So began his list of power foods, rich in nutrients, loaded with disease-fighting antioxidants and important omega fats-and surprisingly more familiar than you might expect.

Plus, each entry includes a history of the food's origin, therapeutic benefits along with scientific research, tips for use and preparation, and an appetizing recipe from a leading chef or nutritionist. Prepare to awaken your tastebuds, lose excess weight, and feel the healing begin.
