Thrive the Way Nature Intended (…And Didn't) - New Nutrition Book Challenges Assumptions About How Diet Impacts Optimal Health
Finally, a sane -- and science-based -- departure from conventional thinking about nutrition. In this book, author and nutritional therapist, Nora Gedgaudas outlines the basic principles of how our bodies and brains function-- and the role that diet plays in physical and emotional health. Based on fundamental human physiology and the selective pressures that have shaped it over time, Gedgaudas goes beyond low-carb "caveman diets" and incorporates scientific research on food, exercise, brain function, aging, weight loss, nutritional supplements and emotional health to connect the dots between what we eat and how it affects us. Primal Body-Primal Mind: Empower your total health the way evolution intended (...and didn't) busts the nutritional myths, takes on the revered food pyramid and puts all the pieces together in one simple formula for total health. 2009-04-14 |
