Food User Manual Volume 1

This manual is designed to help remove the confusion and mystery around nutrition for those who wish to improve or maintain optimal health. The recommendations are especially helpful for people with type 2 diabetes or concerns about heart health, but the principles can be applied to anyone at any age.

Basic nutrition information is covered from fats, carbohydrates and proteins to sodium, beverages and bioactive compounds. Special sections on disease-specific concepts such as blood glucose control and inflammation are also included. Current research is cited throughout, with references.

At 5x7 inches with full-color photography, this is a great resource for anyone wishing to improve their health. Working together with a naturopathic physician, dietitian or integrative medicine practitioner will yield optimal results.

This guide may also spark interest in initiating lifestyle changes beyond just diet - changes like increasing physical activity, enhancing sleep quality, and reducing stress - that will improve quality, and perhaps even duration, of life. We strongly believe in the capacity of the human body to heal and function properly - without fail - when it is carefully and lovingly nourished.
