Publisher's summary

A healthy life starts with the food on your plate – make it the only medicine you ever take to live a disease-free life.

In today’s day and age, eating has been completely replaced with indulgence – one that is geared more towards popular, tastebud-tingling, and mouth-watering options that are consumed widely across the world.

And while food is supposed to be fulfilling and nutritious, the consumption of such ultra-processed delicacies brings with it a myriad of health-related issues.

According to National Public Radio, a typical U.S. diet is deadly, shortening the lives of many Americans, with more than half of heart-related deaths – close to 900 per day – linked to poor diet.
But it doesn’t stop here – this easily-available diet, taking up shelves of supermarkets and populating the menus of restaurants and diners, is also severely lacking in essential nutrients.
So, in this nutritional crisis, you’re also head-to-head against potentially fatal deficiencies that can result in frequent trips to the ER and put you on costly medicines that eat away at your savings.

However, there is a way to escape this 21st-century nutrition curse… and it starts with making the food you eat the medicine that restores your body.
In this modern man’s guide to making a healthy lifestyle a dream come true, you will discover:

• The fundamentals of food to guide you in creating a healthy body and mind through these 6 core pillars of optimal health
• How your body holds the power to restore you from within naturally, and how you can unlock this power using proper nutrition
• A return to basics – uncover the building blocks of using food as medicine that help you against chronic diseases, provide anti-aging benefits, and even boost your immunity
• Why your gut is the gateway to good health, and how to make sure it stays that way
• Superfoods to the rescue – are they really worth the hype?
• The physical side of living healthy – exercise, stress management, and a good night’s rest, the 3 secrets to lifelong health and happiness
• What goes on your plate? Beat your cravings and master the art of healthy eating through portion control (it’s easier than it looks!)

And much more.
Food might be love, and food might be life, but it certainly is the only medicine that gives you long-term benefits, without burning a hole in your pocket.
And if you’re worried about finding it hard to shift to these new healthy habits, don’t worry. This guide will make building (as well as sticking to) new habits a breeze.

Partially outdated info

The author deems healthier to eat oats, quinoa and rice than any type of red meat (lamb, venison, beef, etc…) neglecting the difference between grain fed and grass fed animals, and indoctrinates the importance of eating small meals without mentioning the individual aspects of metabolism nuances, such as people that need more food to be full, and don’t like to eat little protein. He mentions that the way to go is eating only 25% protein, 25 starchy carbs and 50% leafy greens. This is absolutely a no go for someone like me. So he lacks an acknowledgement of different approaches to healthy diet. Finally, he kept mentioning tea as a superfood. Tea is not a food since it doesn’t contribute macronutrients, and a superfood is a food that can keep you thriving even if you’re just eating that single food, such as eggs and beef. I find his info useful only for beginners that have really been practicing horrible habits. If you’re starting your health journey, take the ideas of this book with a grain of salt and use your common sense. Our species and ancestors have been eating ruminants for millennia, even before starting to eat fish.
