Eating well is the key to good health. Nearly every day, researchers announce another exciting discovery regarding the foods we eat and how they affect our health. We now know, for instance, that vitamins and minerals add up to more than we thought: Some help fight heart disease, cancer, and cataracts. And some vitamin- and mineral-rich foods-fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, and seeds-also contain newly-discovered compounds, called phytochemicals, that have surprisingly powerful health-preserving properties. But you don't need to turn vegetarian to maximize your chances of a long, healthy life: Meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy products also supply health-giving, and possibly life-extending nutrients. Eat Well Stay Well clues you in to the foods that can help you avoid illness and achieve optimal health. Our recipes offer tempting, delicious ways to serve these foods-from party-perfect appetizers to scrumptious desserts; each food and every recipe is accompanied by a nutritional analysis. And in the front of the book you'll find a comprehensive nutrition glossary, as well as a chapter of photo-illustrated cooking techniques.
