Description

Medical Science, with all of its many technological advancements, lost its way during most of the twentieth century in terms of finding the natural biological path to maintaining and enhancing human health. Western academic communities, with their mostly cerebral and arrogant approach to nature, distanced themselves from the roots of nutrition responsible for their very existence.Food IS Medicine: The Scientific Evidence – Volume OneTens of thousands of scientific studies have been performed worldwide affirming the fundamental role that unprocessed, unheated plant-based food plays in the process of disease recovery and prevention. Food IS Medicine is a three-volume series presenting noteworthy and provocative data from studies clearly demonstrating that the most important ingested medicine comes from the food we consume. The key finding of each study is summarized in accessible language for both the layperson or consummate culinary or nutrition professional. The studies are then presented chronologically, so the reader can grasp the evolution of findings and theories about the health impacts of various nutrients and foods.Volume One comprises five chapters covering the following topics: (1) phytochemicals in food and their health-creating properties, (2) the importance of nutrient synergies to human health, (3) the nutrient superiority of organic fruits and vegetables compared to nonorganic produce, (4) the health benefits of calorie-restrictive diets and fasting, and (5) the nutrient retention and health benefits of raw foods compared to cooked or processed foods.ContentsTitleCopyrightTable of ContentsIntroductionChapter One The General Health Benefits of Phytochemicals in Foods Chapter Two Evidence for the Healing Effects of Nutrient SynergiesChapter Three The Effects of Caloric Restriction and Intermittent Fasting on Human Health and Lifespan Chapter Four Nutrient Retention and Health Benefits of Raw vs. Cooked or Processed Vegetables Chapter Five Studies Contrasting the Nutrients in Organic and Nonorganic Fruits and Vegetables IndexAbout the AuthorHardcover: 376 pagesPublisher: Hippocrates Publications; 1 edition (May 1, 2012)Language: EnglishISBN-10: 1570672741ISBN-13: 978-1570672743ASIN: B00HZV9P6CAmazon: https://www.amazon.com/Food-Medicine-Scientific-Evidence-One…Food IS Medicine: Edible Plant Foods, Fruits, and Spices from A to Z, Evidence for Their Healing Properties, Volume TwoWithin this book, volume two of the Food IS Medicine series, the focus is on scientific medical studies that evaluate the health benefits of specific edible plants—vegetables, fruits, and spices—and their nutrient factors.Food IS Medicine, Volume Two compiles summaries of current scientific studies that show the healing effects of common foods like garlic, turmeric, berries, mushrooms, and legumes in preventing and treating chronic illnesses.With an in-depth analysis of 34 fruits, vegetables, spices, nuts, and other healing foods from algae to wheatgrass, this indispensable reference provides a descriptive profile of each food, its nutritional value, and its general effects on the body.Food IS Medicine is a three volume series presenting noteworthy and provocative data from studies clearly demonstrating that the most important ingested medicine comes from the food we consume.

Avoiding “nonfoods” and an ever-increasing group of manmade products are just as important to prevent disease and extend life as the consumption of a proper diet.The Food IS Medicine series emphasizes the powerful effect that an organic, plant-based diet has on disease prevention and recovery. The evidence provided in this series suggests that when a diet consists of a wide variety of health-building foods, it protects cells from degeneration and affords greater potential for a longer life. Volume Three compiles summaries of current scientific studies that spotlight the foremost dietary hazards to human health. High on this list are meat, dairy products, and sugar. Processed foods, food additives and food contaminants are also proving to be a potential cause of chronic illness. Brian Clement advocates that avoiding non-foods and an ever increasing group of manmade products is just as important in disease prevention and longevity as the consumption of a proper diet. This indispensable reference provides key findings on dozens of conditions and their relationship to the foods we eat.ContentsTitle Page Copyright Table of Contents IntroductionChapter One: Meat Products (in general) and HealthChapter Two: Dairy Products and HealthChapter Three: Sugar (Fructose, Glucose, Sucrose) and HealthChapter Four: Processed Foods and Health (Includes Food Additives)Chapter Five: Food Contaminants and HealthChapter Six: Cooking and HealthIndexHardcover: 288 pagesPublisher: Hippocrates Publications; 1 edition (October 27, 2014)Language: EnglishISBN-10: 1570673217ISBN-13: 978-1570673214ASIN: B00OP2ECVCAmazon: https://www.amazon.com/Food-Medicine-Three-Undermine-Health-…
