Riassunto

Everyone knows that an apple is a healthier snack than a packet of crisps, but did you know that a daily handful of walnuts or a bowl of blueberries can actually improve your well-being and longevity?

When Dr Steven Pratt witnessed the positive results that occurred when his patients with age-related macular degeneration changed their diets to include certain powerhouse foods - he identified them as SuperFoods. Now, backed by proven research on fourteen of the most nutrient-dense foods, this book puts these invaluable tools in your hands and on your plate, to give you more energy, greater protection against disease, and a healthy lifestyle now and for the future. By making these foods part of your regular eating habits, you can actually change the course of your biochemistry and stop the incremental changes in your body that lead to diseases such as type II diabetes, hypertension, certain cancers, obesity, and Alzheimer's.

The fourteen foods that will change your life:

* Beans * Soy * Blueberries *Spinach *Broccoli *Tea - green or black *Oats *Tomatoes *Oranges *Turkey *Pumpkin *Walnuts *Salmon *Yoghurt

SuperFoods not only outlines the amazing health benefits of these fourteen foods, it also includes delicious recipes, tips and suggestions that will make the SuperFoods lifestyle simple and irresistible. Wonderfully flexible - almost all the SuperFoods have sidekicks, or substitutions that you can enjoy instead - this new nutritional frontier offers you the perfect opportunity to choose and enjoy the foods that are most beneficial to your health, well-being and longevity.
