Synopsis:

What are the Healthiest Foods in the World?

With his number one New York Times bestseller The Zone, Dr. Barry Sears revolutionized nutritional thinking around the world. Now in The Top 100 Zone Foods he shows you how to incorporate the absolute best Zone foods into your diet. The payoff is huge: increased energy and mental focus; optimal weight control; decreased risk of heart disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, breast cancer, and diabetes; and control over your all-important insulin levels.

Dr. Sears has used his new Zone Food Science Ranking System to analyze thousands of foods in order to find the best proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and spices on earth. You'll learn that you're already including some of these Top 100 foods in your diet -- but you'll also see how easy it is to include other, wholesome foods from the list that you may never have tried.

The Top 100 Zone Foods will show you why turkey, haddock, cod, salmon, macadamia nuts, spinach, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, blueberries, blackberries, olives, and olive oil are all nutrient-dense high-octane Zone foods-and why bagels, pasta, rice, and bread fall into the exceptionally useless category. You'll enjoy the exquisite flavors of Zone-perfect dishes such as Kodiak Trout with Green Beans, Pork Tenderloin with Apple Compote, Mediterranean Mushroom Gratin, Gourmet Rock Cornish Hen à l'Orange, Broiled Tuna Steak with Dill Sauce and Fruit, and Kiwi Fruit Salad with Walnuts -- and you'll reap the rewards of high-performance living at the same time.

The Top 100 Zone Foods features:

• A Day in the Zone, complete with typical delicious meals and their timing
• The world's healthiest fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, and spices ranked according to nutritive value
• 100 delicious, easy-to-prepare Zone-balanced recipes, including Zone food block information
• A ranking of all the most popular carbohydrates according to their anti-oxidant capacities
• A helpful guide to the key Zone supplements and findings on important fish oils

Wouldn't you rather eat a savory piece of salmon with crisp vegetables than swallow bitter prescription medicine loaded with side effects? Nutrient-dense food is your ultimate medicine and your ticket to that state of ultimate body balance, strength, and great health: the Zone.
