What if one simple change could save you from heart disease, diabetes,
and cancer? For decades, that question has fascinated a small circle of
impassioned doctors and researchers--and now, their life-changing research
is making headlines in the hit documentary Forks Over Knives.
Their answer? Eat a whole-foods, plant-based diet--it could save your
life. It may overturn most of the diet advice you've heard--but the experts
behind Forks Over Knives aren't afraid to make waves. In his book
Prevent
and Reverse Heart Disease, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn explained that eating
meat, dairy, and oils injures the lining of our blood vessels, causing
heart disease, heart attack, or stroke.
In The China Study, Dr. Colin Campbell revealed how cancer and
other diseases skyrocket when eating meat and dairy is the norm--and plummet
when a traditional plant-based diet persists. And more and more experts
are adding their voices to the cause: There is nothing else you can do
for your health that can match the benefits of a plant-based diet.
Now, as Forks Over Knives is introducing more people than ever
before to the plant-based way to health, this accessible guide provides
the information you need to adopt and maintain a plant-based diet. Features
include:
Insights from the luminaries behind the film--Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. John
McDougall, The Engine 2 Diet author Rip Esselstyn, and many others
Success stories from converts to plant-based eating--like San'Dera Prude,
who no longer needs to medicate her diabetes, has lost weight, and feels
great!
The many benefits of a whole-foods, plant-based diet--for you, for animals
and the environment, and for our future
A helpful primer on crafting a healthy diet rich in unprocessed fruits,
vegetables, legumes, and whole grains, including tips on transitioning
and essential kitchen tools
125 recipes from 25 champions of plant-based dining--from Blueberry Oat
Breakfast Muffins and Sunny Orange Yam Bisque to Garlic Rosemary Polenta
and Raspberry-Pear Crisp--delicious, healthy, and for every meal, every
day.
Green
for Life by Victoria Boutenko

Everyone knows they need to eat more fruits and vegetables, but consuming
even the minimum FDA-recommended five servings a day can be challenging.
In Green for Life, raw foods pioneer Victoria Boutenko presents
an overlooked powerhouse of nutrition in this equation: greens. For their
bounty of minerals and nutrients, greens exceed other vegetables in value.
Green
for Life details the immense health benefits of greens and suggests
an easy way to consume them in sufficient quantities: the green smoothie.
This quick, simple drink benefits everyone, regardless of lifestyle, diet,
or environment. Green smoothies eliminate toxins, correct nutritional deficiencies,
and are delicious as well.
Green for Life includes the latest information on the abundance
of protein in greens, the benefits of fiber, the role of greens in homeostasis,
the significance of stomach acid, how greens make the body more alkaline,
the healing power of chlorophyll, and more. Also included are the results
of a pilot study demonstrating the effectiveness of adding just one quart
of green smoothies a day to one's diet, without changing anything else
in dietary intake. Green smoothie testimonials and recipes give readers
confidence and motivation in exploring green smoothies for themselves.
This updated edition offers important new research on the role that omega-3
and omega-6 fatty acids play in metabolic health and includes nutritional
data on select green smoothies and updated findings on organic versus conventional
produce. Offering more in-depth nutritional and experiential information
than Boutenko's recently released Green Smoothie Revolution, Green for
Life makes an ideal companion piece to its recipe-rich successor.

Thanks to processed and fast foods, being overworked, and feeling stressed
while eating on the fly, it is increasingly difficult for most of us to
eat anywhere near a balanced diet. We may not be obviously sick, but may
suffer from lack of focus, insomnia, sluggishness, or any host of symptoms
caused by nutritional deficiency. Green Smoothie Revolution takes
aim at this silent epidemic by restoring balance to our diets.
Combining nutrition and know-how with recipes that pack a powerhouse
punch, Victoria Boutenko reintroduces long neglected fruits, vegetables,
and greens in the most persuasive style for our busy lives: with fast prep
and delicious results. Featuring 200 recipes, Green Smoothie Revolution
offers
both simplicity (4 ripe pears, 1 bunch parsley, 2 cups water; blend well)
and enough variety to keep taste buds happy and nutrients coming from a
wealth of options.
Individualized for your blood type--more than 200 original recipes,
as well as 30-day meal plans, for staying healthy, living longer, and achieving
your ideal weight.

Type. Now, with a team of chefs, he helps you design a total health
program that's right for your blood type. Cook Right 4 Your Type

With Eat Right 4 Your Type, Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo started a diet
revolution. Now, after establishing a connection between blood type and
diet, he offers a practical guide for incorporating that knowledge into
your lifestyle.
Diet schemes come and go. Successful plans, backed by powerful media
machines, become bestsellers with sequels and food-product lines. But with
so many diet books on the market, how do you decide which plan is right
for you? According to Peter D'Adamo, the answer depends on your blood type.
In his first book, Eat Right 4 Your Type, D'Adamo, a naturopathic
physician and researcher, makes interesting and unique connections between
human evolution, blood type, diet, exercise, and health. Now, in Cook
Right 4 Your Type: The Practical Kitchen Companion to Eat Right 4 Your
Type, D'Adamo provides readers with:
Road maps and charts for each of the four blood types, detailing which
foods and beverages to consume and which to avoid
Tips for starting and sticking with the diet and matching your menu to
your blood type
Thirty-day meal plans to help you stay healthy, live longer, and achieve
your ideal weight
More than 200 healthy and easy recipes keyed to blood type
While D'Adamo's theories challenge common nutrition wisdom and his diet
can be difficult to follow, Cook Right 4 Your Type will make his
advice a little easier to swallow. --Ellen Albertson
Heidi Swanson's approach to cooking whole, natural foods has earned
her a global readership. From her Northern California kitchen, she introduced
us to a less-processed world of cooking and eating through her award-winning
blog, 101 Cookbooks, and in her James Beard Award-nominated cookbook, Super
Natural Cooking, she taught us how to expand our pantries and integrate
nutrient-rich superfoods into our diets.
In Super Natural Every Day, Heidi helps us make nutritionally
packed meals part of our daily repertoire by sharing a sumptuous collection
of nearly 100 of her go-to recipes. These are the dishes that Heidi returns
to again and again because they're approachable, good for the body, and
just plain delicious. This stylish cookbook is equal parts inspiration
and instruction, showing us how to create a welcoming table filled with
nourishing food for friends and family.
The seductively flavorful vegetarian recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner,
snacks, treats, and drinks are quick to the table but tasty enough to linger
over. Grab a Millet Muffin or some flaky Yogurt Biscuits for breakfast
on the go, or settle into a lazy Sunday morning with a stack of Multi-grain
Pancakes and a steaming cup of Ginger Tea. A bowl of Summer Squash Soup
or a couple of Chanterelle Tacos make for a light and healthy lunch, and
for dinner, there's Black Sesame Otsu, Pomegranate-Glazed Eggplant with
Tempeh, or the aptly named Weeknight Curry. Heidi's Rose Geranium Prosecco
is the perfect start to a celebratory meal, and the Buttermilk Cake with
fresh plums or Sweet Panzanella will satisfy even the most stubborn sweet
tooth.
Gorgeously illustrated with over 100 photos that showcase the engaging
rhythms of Heidi's culinary life and travels, Super Natural Every Day
reveals the beauty of uncomplicated food prepared well and reflects a realistic
yet gourmet approach to a healthy and sophisticated natural foods lifestyle.
