I stumbled on a webpage this morning that should help you get a quick overview of the "Eat to Live" program. I haven't looked over the entire site, but it does appear to be a great resource. I have a feeling that Dr. Fuhrman would approve for the most part. And I do agree with her: you have to read the entire book to REALLY understand. Check it out: Eat to Live 6-Week Plan
Eat Better = Live Better
Explore with me and discover how food can heal!
As my knowledge of food science gradually increases, I have discovered that the quote sometimes attributed to Hippocrates really is true: "Let your food be medicine and your medicine be food." As a former pre-med student and the mother of seven children I have found over the years that the medicinal band-aids so often administered by the doctors of our day are far less effective than the consistent consumption of whole foods accompanied by physical activity. Often medications and treatments are prescribed with rarely a word about improving an individual's diet. Foods provided to patients in hospitals reflect the misconceptions that many in the medical establishment have about nutrition. And while I find myself in disagreement with the methods employed by some doctors, I do recommend that you seek the advice and help of a qualified physician who places great emphasis on nutrition and preventive therapies. If you have a good one, count yourself as blessed!
