About this title

Synopsis

It's not only what you eat that makes us sick - but what we don't eat! Many modern nutrition books tell you what not to eat to improve your health. The refreshing message in 'Eat to Live' is that your diet may actually be lacking essential nutrients and you may need to eat more of the right foods to live a healthy life. The missing link in your diet is phytoestrogens. These are natural plant protectants found in a range of common foods, from fruits and vegetables to nuts and soy products. The information in 'Eat to Live' is backed by more than 20 years of scientific research, presenting a compelling argument which will change your life and help prevent cancer, reduce the risks of heart disease, protect your bones and boost your overall health and wellbeing. With over fifty delicious recipes, 'Eat to Live outlines the benefits of phytoestrogens with clear, practical advice. A quiz will rate your current diet and help you see if you are adequately phytoprotected. This eating plan is not just for the short-term health kick but is a permanent addition to your lifestyle and is the key to a healthier, happier life.
