Book Reviews of You Are What You Eat: The Plan That Will Change Your Life
Book Review: Excellent Health Advice
Summary: 5 Stars
In the past ten years I've read my share of health books and articles in magazines and can say that this book has excellent health advice. While I had read a lot of the information before in other sources there were quite a few new idea I had yet to consider. One of the things we all need to do is to eat more raw foods, which are emphasized in this book. The only thing this book really needs however is more recipes. There is a short section on recipes that include healthy selections like Aduki Bean Casserole, Veggie Sushi Rolls, Marinated Baked Salmon, Creamy Broccoli Soup, Sweet Potato Shepherd's Pie and Carob Fudge Delight.
What I liked most about this book is how it is personalized. If you have an ailment there is a food that can be used as a cure. Often, herbal teas are advised. There are also interesting facts to consider. Like, take members of the nightshade family (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers). These vegetables contain solanine and this book explains the importance of neutralizing this substance.
While many sources say you should drink a glass of red wine a day you may reconsider after reading this: "The liver converts alcohol into acetaldehyde, a toxic cousin of formaldehyde..." ~ pg. 75 It is tidbits like this that make this book highly educational.
I like that Dr. Gillian promotes the use of stevia as it is something I use daily instead of sugar. If you love making your own fruit or vegetable juices there are quite a few excellent ideas and recipes.
This book can be used to improve your health gradually as you incorporate new healthy foods into your diet, but there is also an entire detox diet you can follow for more immediate results. The section on meal planning gives ideas for seven days and includes fun little things like dancing or walking for 20 minutes or doing morning and evening exercises. The idea is to get you moving in all areas of your life. The only thing I didn't find appealing was the advice to eat a snack of raw sauerkraut to increase your libido. Fortunately there is a list of sexy foods that sounded better and much tastier too.
One of the things that impressed me was the bright colorful pages and creative design of this book. It kept me interested and made me want to read this book more than once. In fact, this is a book you will want to add to your health book collection not only because it has excellent advice but because it is so fun to read.
