NUTRITION
FOR LIFE
The no-fad, no-nonsense approach to
eating well
and reaching your healthy weight
by Lisa Hark, PhD, RD and Darwin Deen, MD
(February,
2005) Healthy eating throughout your life is now
recognized as the foundation for optimal health. However,
understanding what to eat and separating
food and nutrition facts from fads can be
confusing. And to further complicate the subject, the Federal
government just released its new 2005 Dietary Guidelines for
Americans. Are they realistic or not, and what do they really
mean? With an overwhelming amount of nutritional information
written every year, much of it contradictory, the
question remains what would a skilled nutritionist or
medical doctor recommend?
NUTRITION FOR
LIFE The no-fad, no-nonsense approach to eating well and
reaching your healthy weight (DK Publishing; January 2005)
is the new definitive guide to nutrition
that combines the views of a top nutritionist and a family
doctor into one concise volume. “The information in this
book is a powerful prescription for health," say authors,
Lisa Hark, PhD, RD and Darwin Deen, MD, "In essence, your
diet and lifestyle define your destiny and are your best hope
for staying healthy through every stage of life.”
In NUTRITION
FOR LIFE, readers will learn:
-
how to assess
your dietary and lifestyle habits through interactive questionnaires that identify key areas for change,
-
why the body
needs food - the essential building blocks of life,
-
the elements
of a healthy diet and how to incorporate all of the food
groups,
-
how to eat
through all the stages of your life, whether you are
feeding yourself, when you are pregnant, as your children
