Did you know that eating oatmeal actually isn't a healthy way to start the day? That milk doesn't build bones, and eggs aren't the devil?
Even the most health conscious among us have a hard time figuring out what to eat in order to lose weight, stay fit, and improve our health. And who can blame us? When it comes to diet, there's so much changing and conflicting information flying around that it's impossible to know where to look for sound advice. And decades of misguided "common sense," food-industry lobbying, bad science, and corrupt food polices and guidelines have only deepened our crisis of nutritional confusion, leaving us overwhelmed and anxious when we shop for food.
Dr. Mark Hyman takes a close look at every food group and explains what we have gotten wrong, revealing which foods nurture our health and which pose a threat. He also explains food's role as powerful medicine capable of reversing chronic disease and shows how our food system and policies impact so much, including the environment, the economy, social justice, and personal health. He paints a holistic picture of growing, cooking, and eating food in ways that nourish our bodies and the earth while creating a healthy society. The book includes recipes to achieve optimal weight and lifelong health.
